Default [Q] Shipping with 2.3????

I just took a look at Sprint's website and they now have EVO's shipping with 2.3, does this mean that we will be able to use the kernel that was used for those models to help out with developing roms with 2.3? Sorry if this was in the wrong place or if this information was known and not helpful.

Agreed, I would love to know.....

This sounds odd. Maybe they updated the page too early? and this means GB Update soon?

Moved to General. I could have moved this to Q&A, but I think it is of enough interest to have it as a General topic.

Check this: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7...l?tag=mncol;1n

Says by the end of June...According to CNET > It's an old post from April, but it seems to be accurate after seeing the "Ships with 2.3" on the Device page...

That wouldn't make sense to have the update by the end of June if I can order a white one from Sprint.com today and have it to my house with 2.3 in two days...
If you sign up for Dropbox, we both get more space! Sign up here http://db.tt/VPCBrEB
