How can the MyTouch 3G Slide get OS 2.2?

This is one of the most asked questions in the Android Community. If you ask T-Mobile, they will tell you to ask HTC, who if you ask, will tell you to talk to T-Mobile, who really sends out the over-the-air update.

There is no official date set for the update, although there have been dates rumored literally since February. I unrooted my Mytouch at the end of May because I was convinced they would update us on June 2nd, but here we are with no set date. I rooted again last night and am using Superbad.
 
The HTC Espresso (re-badged as the MyTouch 3G Slide) is one of the phones listed by HTC to get Android 2.2.

From past experience we know that nobody will get Android 2.2 until it's released, and currently it's not (other than unofficial betas and custom ROMs based on those pre-release versions). 2.2 is rumoured to be released soon (possibly in July).

We also know from past experience that phones running the plain vanilla version of Android get it first, and phones running custom UI's like Sense UI get them later or never. Your phone runs Sense UI, so may well be much later.

There are rumours that a whole load of phones (HTC phones and the Nexus One) will get 2.2. all at the same time, whether they have Sense UI or not. I read that on the internet, so it MUST be true, right?

HTC has promised updates to 2.2. to most of their phones before the end of the year.

So, best guess at present is at any point within the next 6 months.
 
I will create an account for T-mobile forums too... going to ask them what is the hold up, as if I'm really going to get an answer...
