Hey guys I'm interested to hear if anybody knows the eta for gingerbread on Orange or if anybody has heard any rumours?
I checked for system updates earlier today but no luck.
I checked for system updates earlier today but no luck.
I was wondering the same thing. I have a Desire, a Desire HD and a Samsung Galaxy Tablet all orange branded so I really wish they would hurry up. There probably tacking on there crappy game demos and pointless apps as I speak.
Personally thought HTC had pulled the update again due to the wifi bug, I might be wrong though!
I emailed orange a couple of weeks ago and they called me! Told me the update was in testing phase (bloatware!) But they also said not to use the update check on the phone, they said to keep a check on the orange website and they would link to HTC and to download the update via the pc!
2.2 was about 3 months late was it not?
I had a spot of luck, my Desire HD on Orange developed a fault (the four soft key buttons stopped working) Orange sent me a replacement and it was unbranded! As soon as I checked for a software update I got 2.3..
There isn't a massive difference to be honest, a few nice tweaks and the phone is definitely faster, but I'm not sure how much of that is 2.3 and how much is not having all the Orange cr*p clogging the thing up.
Hey everyone, if your still waiting on orange like i am to release gingerbread for the desire hd, join my facebook group:

It worked for the hero when they were taking their sweet time on the froyo update
Cheers
