So once Gingerbread is released...
How Long do you think it will be before HTC sends it to our EVO'S?

I'm thinking/hoping maybe before Christmas Eve.

What do you all think?

my best guess is that it will be approximately the same time length that was between Froyo's official release and its push to the EVO. if i recall it was relatively quick - maybe 1-2 months? HTC and Sprint have to get it first and work their magic and pass their blessings. my guess is that they already have an advance copy of Gingerbread (or a beta version) which will allow for a quick push to us.

Riddle me this...what the bell is Gingerbread, really? What is the advantage of the update? I've seen some of the Supposed screen shots and it doesn't look as cool. Looks kind of squared off and not as mainstreamed.

I have the same question. Not sure what it is supposed to bring that will make a difference to me.

I think the question we should be asking is IF the EVO will even get Gingerbread. I would hope so, but you never know if HTC and Sprint decide not to update the EVO anymore. Time will tell and hopefully HTC and Sprint will release a statement that the EVO will get the update sooner or later.

Why wouldn't they? It wouldn't make sense if they didn't.

Well first of all the gingerbread that gets pushed will not look like stock gingerbread anyways, as HTC sense will be all up in it. But at least you get all the performance boosts and stuff.

Evo will get gingerbread, whether its through sprint or (for me at least) cyanogen mod.

Ill guess late january, early feb stock evo owners will have 2.3
But ill be rocking it relatively quick with cyanogen mod
