Android 2.2 is supposed to roll out to the Sprint EVO next week, but it looks like there’s a direct download already available through HTC. Here’s how to get it:
Good news for EVO 4G owners: Sprint will begin rolling out Android 2.2 to its customers starting August 3:
The Sprint Evo 4G does a lot of things brilliantly, but endurance is not one of them. Until this Mugen battery pack came along, granting Evo owners’ wish of a full day’s use on one charge.

Best Buy employee Brian Maupin got internet famous last week with this iPhone 4 versus HTC Evo video. Which made Best Buy upset enough to suspend and threaten to fire the guy. Today, Maupin was granted a stay of termination.

The iPhone 4 vs HTC EVO video making the rounds has gotten 1.7 million views, but when Best Buy found out it was their employee that made the video, they weren’t so much amused as angry.
PCMag ran the Evo, the Droid X, the Incredible and the iPhone 4 through a gauntlet of tests to determine which really has best display. Here’s what DisplayMate President Dr Raymond Soneira has to say about the results.
EVO 4G owners are seeing update 1.47.651.1 appear on their phones, which we heard about last week. It’s not a biggie by the sounds of it, instead rumoured to contain 802.11n Wi-Fi support and fix a couple of bugs.
A Sprint source has leaked to BGR that the HTC Evo will mostly likely be getting a software update on June 28th. The update would bring improved Wi-Fi (802.11n, we’re guessing), fix Exchange issues and repair a battery-draining problem with the official Facebook app. Why Sprint continues to have their Nascar app run in the background of all Evos at all times, we still don’t know.
