yeah, bring it here!!!



true, & this help the phone to get the update as fast as it can...

Awesome

Yeap. Sense UI will end on Froyo. Gingerbread will get vanilla UI for all mobile

SenseUI is not just a 'skin'. It has a couple of functionality that are otherwise absent on vanilla Android. Try saving widgets placements and settings on a vanilla Android and you'll see what I mean. SenseUI has something called scenes that do just that. Homescreen preview? Not available on pure Android. You'll need a 3rd party launcher to get that. SenseUI is more than just eye candy.

It's not up to Google to decide on skinning. It's up to the users. I get to decide what looks cool on my phone. If I want to be dictated on what my UI should look like, I might as well get an iPhone.

Android UI is already standard. Will there be anything in Gingerbread that would prevent the phone makers from customizing Android? A new licensing scheme?


I seriously dont see Motorola abandoning Motoblur, Sony halting UXP, Samsung ditching TouchWiz or HTC dropping SenseUI just because Gingerbread is aesthetically appealing. How would these manufacturers compete then? Solely by hardware specs and price? As long as Android stays Open Source, there will be UI customizations by the phone manufacturers, regardless of how beautiful Google vouch the next platform will be. Granted that the proprietary tweaks made by these phone manufacturers is the contributing factor to Android fragmentation problems. However, denying these manufacturer from doing their own branding on the software is not the way to address it. Android will risk losing support from the phone makers. If anything, Gingerbread should provide a middle ground solution of minimizing the fragmentation issue due to proprietary UI layers while still allowing the manufacturers the freedom to define how their Android interpretation would be like. A better interface API perhaps? Something that would make it easier for the manufacturers to port their customized works without touching to lower level codes. I'm pretty sure Google is aware of this.

ya i know,what i was trying to say is UI on gingerbread MAYBE good than enough and doesnt need any other UI on top of nicely done vanilla UI..
and that just MAYBE or MIGHT(like previous post that i stated)
and of course there are many launchers out there can replace vanilla UI but who knows vanilla UI is better than others?user got a choice to choose which UI but also depends its worth or not...i guess u wont choose a launcher that worst than vanilla UI itself right?

and if i remember correctly,Google said there is no need put manufacturers UI like HTC Sense,etc on top of gingerbread coz its already good enough..so i just say depends whether HTC want to put or not(well,is their signature UI after all)

well,just my 2 cents and again,what i was trying to say is just MAYBE..so dont get it serious

seems like the kind of phone for me to upgrade to.....

yesterday we happen to be so excited bout froyo,today we excited bout gingerbread thing...
many old phone don get their froyo yet this news come out...
n worst,phone like X have not come to us lagi...
so keep dreaming bout gingerbread i guess...

Don't worry, IINM Gingerbread won't be coming until next year Google is now increasing the period between each major software update to reduce fragmentation.

After all, most phones don't even have Froyo yet...

sound like google will do like apple did...
give year space for each upgrade...

Too good to be true? Even it's true it's going to take a while to reach here.

we already have the gsm version of evo, its called an hd2 running android froyo.

nice one, could be true from the spec & not ridiculous. I hope the design will more solid with Uni-Body Aluminium & hope for gingerbread os!!!

if the screen is SUPER AMOLED or even AMOLED .....

but 1ghz snapdragon again?hmmm...

not possible..samsung prevent it from others to have it

hrmm... I thought the unibody aluminium construction is one of the causes of the Legend's wifi bugs? Don't think they would wanna repeat that mistake.
