AT&T Customers to Enjoy Gingerbread

A Press Release were put out this morning by AT&T:

Customers who purchased an Android smartphone from AT&T introduced in 2011 can expect to receive an update to Android 2.3. All of these devices are planned to be upgraded from Android 2.2 to Android 2.3, also referred to as Gingerbread. In addition, Samsung Captivate™ owners will be able to upgrade to Gingerbread.
Delivery methods will vary by device. Whenever possible, upgrades are delivered over-the-air (OTA), however in some cases the size of the file needed to install the update will require the user to connect via Wi-Fi or connect the phone to a PC to install the update. Factors such as manufacturer-defined software and other device performance improvements result in each device requiring a separate update which will vary in timing.
Beginning today and continuing over the next few weeks, Motorola ATRIX 4G users will be prompted to install the update. To download the update, users must be connected via Wi-Fi. In August, HTC Inspire 4G users will be notified that the update is available and can be downloaded when connected to a Wi-Fi network. AT&T smartphone users can access at any one of the company's more than 26,000 Wi-Fi hotspots at no cost.
The AT&T smartphones planned for a Gingerbread update are:

HTC Inspire 4G

LG Phoenix

Motorola ATRIX 4G

Pantech Crossover

Samsung Captivate

Samsung Infuse 4G

There's already a GB thread. LOL  Let's see how long it takes for it to flare back up! hehee

i just got through chatting with samsung and actually confirmed that android 2.3 a.k.a. gingerbread is planned for release for the captivate but he or she couldnt tell me when it will be released he or she actually used gingerbread in the chat.

What is gingerbred supposed to do anyway. Would be cool if the this would sprout wings and fly. Or maybe a rocket booster........I don't care anymore. bet it will not get any better reception no matter how many updates we get.  lol

Ahahahahahahahah.....

They must have meant "austral" summer!

Until i see it or my carrier says it's coming, this is a myth. I have to say that with Android and Samung Products in generals, upgrading your firmware is quite frustrating. I dunno if this is a Samsung thing or a carrier thing. I have to throw up a rotten apple, but I cant wait until the iPhone 5 comes out in a month or two. I can then use my Captivate only as an emergency backup phone. lol.
