I don't think he Eris will ever see an official froyo update. Verizon discontinued the Eris and therefore has no reason or incentive to update it any more.

I agree with you that the eris will not see an official froyo update, but would like to point out the eris has reached end of life, which means verizon wil not stop selling it, but not end of support.

I'm actually hopeful that the Eris will get an official 2.2 update. I've been with Verizon for many years and if they want to keep me under contract they better keep me satisfied....which means keep my phone up-to-date (somewhat) at least until the end of my 2 years. Not that it really matters, seeing as we have awesome developers that put us on Froyo before most phones got their OTA.
On a side note. Anyone heard the rumors of Android 2.5?

The Eris isn't mentioned but the implications are that our phone will get 10.1 flash.
By this I mean our phone is HTC and the Incredible is HTC. Once it gets official OTA we can port it to the Eris and try to get flash working for us. I think that's what TC must have meant.
The sales rep at the Verizon store told me all the Droid phones were getting 2.2 rolled out including the Eris. I saw some sales reps using it still so it's still a pretty widely used phone.

Hasn't HTC stated the Eris won't be receiving a Froyo upgrade?
Yes they have. We are never getting official OTA.
Please do not listen to sales reps. They have no knowledge of anything. If you stay current on legit phone news then you are already more informed than they are.

One incentive for Verizon to update the Eris to Froyo would be not to disgruntle existing customers and causing them to leave the network when their contract is up. I know, me personally, that I'm pretty disgruntled about the quality of service they give us Eris owners.
Gingerbread is going to be Android 3.0, and will have a recommended CPU speed of 1 GHz. Yes, devs will probably get it running on the Eris, but the hardware might just be too depreciated by that point to run it.

I'm pleased to see Eris is rooted. however what if in the future, Verizon decided to ship out Eris with Official 2.1 pre-installed, how will we be able to root Eris from there?
I don't see the Eris shipping with 2.1 from what I understand the Erie is being phased out and the 2.1 ota update will probably be after that. this is pure speculation I may add

Dont worry man. There is no way to know for sure.. But im willing to bet 2.1 for the HTC Eris will be rooted before that would ever be a concern. And if somehow it does happen and no root is found, then everyone with a leak ROM install is back to where they started..
they're discontinuing the Eris so I don't see it coming up.

Really, where did you see this? Can you link me an official press release?
As far as I know, the eris is selling quite well and Verizon has no need to discontinue it.
@OP: If they release 2.1 on new devices we are in the same boat as all of us with the 2.1 leak... Rest assured that we are still working on getting root for 2.1.

Maybe you would know then.... if say 6 months from now our eris breaks down and we have the insurance, will we be getting a refurbished eris or be offered the next best thing (incredible)....???
Supposedly, the Eris' end of life is in May.
I don't know how they replace phones.. but I would assume a refurb, I HIGHLY doubt the Incredible, with the specs it has? No way. Maybe the moto droid.

they may be full of it, but it does show that they did provide on their promise. now that its running 2.2 (the mytouch), I can see why it took so long to release it. mytouch hardware was not really made to support it, and it shows, but maybe thats just because im so used to my vibrant that when i pick up her mytouch there is no comparison

To be fair, apart from the dev phone (Nexus One) it was six months after the announcement and nearly four months after the actual unveiling of 2.2 code, before ANY DEVICES (apart from the Nexus One) had 2.2 officially in any form.
I expect the same to happen when 2.3 drops. This just seems to be how Google prefers to foster development, whilst staying out of the way of what manufacturers want to do with their little OS.
With that out of the way I guess I'll just chime in and say I wish Samsung hadn't wasted precious development time with refinements to 2.1 (JI6 insofar as we are concerned) and simply gotten 2.2 out the door.
p.s. One of my friends has an original MT3G, and it's slower than smoke off of s**t running 2.2, but even that is a vast improvement over what it was running.
Well, I wouldn't put too much on t-mobile because they're not the one that is developing the driver for the phone or even the os. They probably just develop the bloatware they want pre-installed on the phone. With that said, I think it is pretty much up to samsung on releasing a full working Froyo because they are the ones that will need to update the hardware driver to work with Froyo. It's like going from XP to Win7.
I just checked my wife's mytouch v2 and it shows her up to date on updates with 1.6??? Her phone is completely stock so no root. This update was OTA right??

By the time it does come I'm sure ill be on another carrier or at least a different phone. But in the off chance the vibrant gets froyo in the next 10 years I want to be ready. I got ji6 ota so I don't really know what kies is. Will I need to be kies-ready for froyo or will it just be an ota like it should be? If I have to use kies, where did other people learn about it? I'm not at all interested in it but I don't want to miss the main reason I paid $600 for this stupid phone (froyo). So basically, what is kies and how do I use it?

I couldn't care less. Been running Froyo for weeks now.
Anyone know exactly how many official dates Samsung/T-Mobile have now officially failed to do this simple task that so many xda devs did long ago? Since it is clearly ready (available to rooted SGS phones) does that mean the culprit here is T-Mobile? They already have awful service and only 1 good phone. This failure seems like their death wish.
I wouldnt go so far as to say it is ready. The recent 2.2 roms are really good but they still have some minor issues like the headphone jack problem.
On twitter, all Samsung/TMO say is by the end of the year so lets just leave it at that.
BTW, that is for Galaxy UK

Coming from the GSM HTC Hero it's now my understanding that the carriers and manufacturers have ZERO incentive to rush out any update to your phone. I bought the Hero because HTC said Éclair was just around the corner, well not so fast. It didn't come all that quickly after many excuses. It took them a month of Sunday's to finally release it when their EVO was running Froyo.
This time I didn't buy the Vibrant expecting an update anytime soon so I'm not disappointed. BTW, don't expect an official Gingerbread release from Samsung.
Say what you will about Apple but at least they update the phones.
Thats why i jumped ship from tmo because they did the same thing with the original mytouch witch i haD they said we would get froyo way back in febuary then they said march tgen april and so on so back in september i finally terminated my contract then a month later they roled it out of no were i was pretty pissed lmao

as for my own personal experience, the Verizon techs are less intelligent and skilled then 99% of the people in these forums. the only answer I ever got out of them was "send it to us for warranty replacement", or "you must do a factory reset and then call us if the problem doesn't go away". One of them replied to my question about ICS with "what is Ice Cream Sandwich"
I prefer choco tacos over ice cream sandwich anyways... By the time that gets pushed, well probably take advantage of our new upgrades.

I'm also curious, what are people complaining about? I've had my screen on for the last 4 hours customizing, playing with and generally enjoying ICS. I've yet to experience any issues whatsoever...? Genuinely wondering what problems people are having? Why would they put the ICS release candidate on their staging/soak server if it was riddled with bugs?
Hummmm
Have you people really used ICS I think its horrible even if they do get it working on these phones it still sucks! Just make the battery last a month on one charge and connect to any wi-fi without having to log in, and make apps shut off when you exit out of them. That's all we want out of our phones right??? We can only dream about having phones that work right there will always be someone with an issue with their phone as long as we are getting phones that do all these great things!! Sorry my little rant i'm just done hearing everyone saying when is ICS coming to our phones!! Everyone knows when they do release it thousands will install and instantly start having issues so then another update and another it will never end! How many phones that are out work perfectly? I probably wont even update to ICS when it comes I like the way my phone works now and know where everything is! If you want ICS just install a different launcher done!!
Back in February, everyone was screaming for ICS on their Asus Transformer. Now, the majority of people wished they never got it because it has caused nothing but grief for many (not all) owners. (lockups, random reboots, and general instability).
