There's a lot to love about Android, but the slow, fragmented software updates can be annoying. Your friend might be rocking Gingerbread(Android 2.3), but you've been stuck with Éclair (Android 2.1) for months. On the upside, you can do a bit of detective work to see whether your phone is getting the upgrade or not. But a warning: Not all Android phones are getting the upgrade, so you might find out some heartbreaking news.
The Android 2.3 upgrade gives your phone an overall boost in speed and battery life as well as a cleaner, spruced-up interface. There's also a better keyboard, easier-to-use copy/paste function and an improved camera user interface. Google is rumored to be working on the follow-up release, Android 2.4, which could make an appearance at next month's Google I/O conference.
the phones getting upgrades came out in the last year or so. Furthermore, most of these phones have received 2.2 updates in the last few months. So if your rocking a 2+ year Android phone that's still running Android 2.1, you'll probably be left out of the Gingerbread goodness.
HTC also confirmed that pretty much every phone that has been upgraded to 2.2 will get the Gingerbread update.
