Word from HTC - The Inspire IS getting Gingerbread

[Simba501]

I emailed HTC and asked if the Inspire would get Gingerbread (seeing that the Desire HD has gotten it). This is the verbatim response I received.

Good question, (my name).

The Inspire will also be getting the Gingerbread update; it won't be the exact same one provided to the HTC Desire HD; the Inspire 4G will be receiving an update tailored to that specific phone.

At this time, we don't have an exact or estimated launch date. Once we have a better idea of when this update will be available for your phone, we'll be sure to announce it through Facebook (HTC | Facebook) and Twitter (HTC (htc) on Twitter), and of course, HTC.com

Thank you for taking time to contact us, (my name).

Sincerely,

(Rep name)

HTC

Hey, thanks for that info dude. Can't wait to move from some ice cold froyo to some warm and delicious gingerbread that is fresh baked just for us. lol

ice cold froyo

Come to think of it, Froyo is very close to the Spanish/French/Italian word for cold!

knowing AT&T, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Doesn't look like 2.3 would give us many benefits as HTC covered most of whats in it already

htc sense cant cover up features like battery power management, better download management. cool turn off effect

 

[Verdes8891]

It will add in some better battery management and consumption about it. Thats the main part i am looking forward too.

Even if HTC comes up with the gingerbread its still up to ATT to release it right? Are they doing anything in particular with the update before they actually release it?

If the Desire HD got Gingerbread I dont see why we cant have it soon too if its almost an identical phone to ours right?

Correct. But AT&T has to put there bloat ware and all that jazz on it and test it before they release it to us.
