Now that we have 2.2.1...wheres our Gingerbread?

[Outsider(Avid HustlaZ)]

Sooooo i know this is on everyones mind but does anyone have a connect inside that can let us know when the actual Gingerbread OTA update will be hitting our phones?

 

[nycebo]

Dude, we just got Froyo fixed (2.2.1) and now you're wondering about Gingerbread? I'll promise you this, after the debacle with the 2.2 drop, Motorola and Verizon are going to proceed very 'gingerly' before giving 2.3 to use...if they decide to at all. Ha ha ha (echoing maniacal laughter).

Does everyone really think that someone with inside connections at Moto and access to release dates would wait until some random person on a forum asks about the release date, instead of contacting a news site directly?

Not really directed specifically at the OP but it's a common question that doesn't make sense to me?

It's going to take them awhile to get gingerbread ready for it. They have to integrate blur in it first, which will probably take them 3 months.

 

[Trooper]

What's the big rush for Gingerbread anyway?

Who cares about gingerbread, honeycomb is the major upgrade we want, which we will never get on the X.

 

[nycebo]

Fair points on Gingerbreak. My DX is flying now and the only constraints at this point are 3rd party apps. It seems that most bugs have been worked out with 2.2.1.

Honeycomb is for tablets, so the x will never see an official release.

Screw Gingerbread and Honeycomb. I want Ice Cream.

 

[BeastMD]

We will never see Gingerbread IMHO.

Moto has sucked at support on the X. Hell they still cant get Wifi right. I may go back to my incredible, at least that has no Wifi issues(at least none I have come across).

2.3 is already popping up OTA...

I know first post, but it is happening...

No, it isn't.

Everyone wanted Froyo badly for what seemed like months (realistically, it was probably weeks). They screamed at Verizon for delaying before it was made available, then screamed again due to issues.

Now we're going to do the same with Gingerbread??

People are never content with what they have.
When they get the next best thing they are already looking ahead.
There seems to be some sense of entitlement when it comes to updates.

Your lucky if you get 1 major update on a device.
Some don't get any.

Laramie, that OTA is still Froyo even though the system version is 2.3.430

I can understand the excitement many people have over getting the next improvement to the OS in our cool phones. Never being content with the present is a part of the human condition for many of us, unfortunately. I'm one of those who is always looking ahead, and proud of it . And hey, the drive for more, better, etc. can be a very good influence, driving us (or cell phone manufacturers, in this instance) to improve - my Droid X is many times better than the Palm 755p I had before, and I'm very happy to have upgraded.

This is not meant to slam your statement quoted above, I just have a different take on the anticipation of Gingerbread and further updates. I don't think it is a negative, just the opposite - it motivates people to bring the improvements to fruition and then we all benefit from them.

My opinion here, but I don't think an entitlement attitude is overly pervasive in this forum. To me it seems those waiting for GB are for the most part genuinely excited and looking forward to more improvements to our phone. I thought my DX was awesome when I first got it with Eclair. When I OTA'd Froyo I got flash support and found my battery life doubled (how cool is that!?!). Then the latest update resolved the batt mgr F/C issue I had sporadically before - so of course I am looking forward to seeing what GB will bring with it. Its all good

I don't think that a lot of people here have an entitlement attitude either.
In general there is such an attitude. (on the internet at large)
I have read a few places today alone where people are wondering 'where there gingerbread update is' either not realizing that it takes longer than a week to get something like this ready or because they 'just want it'.

I would love to see gingerbread on my X -STOCK- with no motoblur stuff personally. But I can wait

We'll see Gingerbread when we see Gingerbread (sooner if/when the custom ROM builders get their hands on it).

As for Honeycomb, to date I've seen nothing in print from someone of authority at Google that states that Honeycomb is exclusively for tablets. Will it make it to the DX as an OTA update? Nobody really knows! My best guess, however, is again that the custom ROM builders will likely make it available on this platform!

 

[Stealthman]

Some people are never happy. Enjoy your phone and stop worrying about the next update. My X is working great as is.

 

[stereoeclectic]

The latest update fixed my wifi, which was my only real gripe to begin with. I'm pretty happy with it.
