HTC EVO 4G’s Update to Android 2.2 Beginning July 30th?

That came out of nowhere. But, thanks to a new leak from an internal Sprint screen, it looks like the HTC EVO 4G is getting ready to get updated to Android 2.2 — starting tomorrow. That’s right, July 30th. But, in classic Sprint fashion, the update isn’t going to just bring the EVO 4G to the most current software version, but it’s also going to include a plethora of new updates to the device itself, courtesy of Sprint.

For example, you’ll be getting a host of new widgets (admittedly, that’s more from HTC than Sprint), and you’ll also be able to use a flashlight application to make use of that LED flash on the back of the device. You will also be able to use “light-assisted” features to help you take 720p HD video. There’s also improvements to the overall video capture as well. But, a bit of bad news, too. That mobile hot spot hack that made the rounds on some EVOs after its launch? Yeah, Sprint’s probably going to patch that up with this update, so if you’re partial to it, you may want to evaluate your situation.

The OTA update is supposed to start tomorrow, but obviously it won’t get pushed to all the handsets out there at once. You should expect it to be rolled out in waves, and it will probably take until the end of the first week of August before it finishes up. That’s if the update actually starts rolling out tomorrow. We’ll be looking forward to some images from you EVO owners out there, if you get the update.
