Android 2.3 Upgrade List: The Rest of the Phones

If a phone isn't listed here -- like the original Motorola Droid, for example -- it's likely because there just isn't much clear info available yet about its fate. Odds are, we'll soon be hearing more and more details with each passing week.

There have been some reports of HTC reps saying we will have an update, and the site says they do not have info on all phones

I think the fact that the myTouch phones use the stupid, TMO customized version of Sense means OS updates will be slightly delayed compared to other phones that use more common user interfaces (only the myTouch phones use "mySense", but there are lots of HTC phones that use regular Sense). That being said, it would be shocking if a phone with hardware as powerful as the MT4G has doesn't get a 2.3 update, or even 2.4 if that comes out eventually.

1) Do you really want an update from t-mobile?

2) If the G2 gets it, my guess is the MT4G would follow - considering the hardware similarities.

3) CyanogenMod7>Any OTA from T-Mobile.

The vast majority of MT4G's and in fact all Android phones are not rooted. Although most XDA users don't want an OTA, most users of the MT4G would benefit from it. Also, the development community can benefit from a 2.3 OTA because of kernels and drivers that are Gingerbread compatible specifically made for our device, that we don't currently have.

If CM7RC4 is as good as it is now, image what will happen if we get the official drivers, and various protocols.

as much as i like AOSP ROMs i'd love to see some HomeBaked goodies using the real deal.

And i know TeamRoyal would cook up some mighty good stuff as well.

If the g2 gets it, and they release kernel source, it wont matter if we get an official version or not.
Guess what..... looks like we get 2.3 at the same time as everybody else
