All you Evo owners out there are about to get a tasty treat this month. On June 6th Sprint will begin rolling out the 2.3 Gingerbread update to handsets over the air (OTA). To those that want to get the update ASAP, on June 3rd grab your phone and hit home screen/Menu/Settings/System updates/HTC software Update to initiate the upgrade manually.

Can’t Wait Until June 6?

For those who just can’t wait to get Android 2.3, there will be an easy user initiated option to download the upgrade starting on Friday, June 3. To access the update – from the home screen/Menu/Settings/System updates/HTC software Update. This will initiate the upgrade process.

The software release upgrades HTC EVO 4G to Android 2.3, Gingerbread. This version of Android improves download management through the Downloads application, offering the user easy access to any file downloaded from the browser, email or another application. It also fixes the devices ability to stream media through certain applications for the device.

Gingerbread restores HTC EVO 4G’s ability to sync multiple Gmail™ accounts, display email attachments in the email client and fixes battery discharge issues.”

T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide Shows Up on Camera

The gang over at BGR received some spy shots of the upcoming QWERTY slider from T-Mobile. From the pictures you can clearly see that it will run Sense 3.0 and the latest (for now) version of Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread. Word is that the myTouch 4g slide will sport an 8 megapixel camera and have keys that feel like the T-Mobile G2. Between this and the upcoming Sensation, T-Mobile is looking to have a strong Android lineup for the summer!

Guru Inspection: HTC Inspire 4G Review

The HTC Inspire 4G

The HTC Inspire is AT&T’s first 4G device and one of the best spec-ed Android phone in AT&T’s lineup. It barrows heavily from the HTC Desire HD that launched in Europe last year, which is a great place to get Inspiration (see what I did there). The Inspire 4G has a beautiful 4.3in SLCD screen, 8 megapixel camera with HD video, mobile hotspot support, and HTC’s latest iteration of Sense UI. Is this the beast AT&T customers have been waiting for? Read on to see how the HTC Inspire 4G handles the Guru Inspection.

Today Sprint raised the bar by announcing the HTC Evo 4G, aka the “Supersonic”. This thing is quite possibly the most feature packed device I have ever seen or dreamed up! The Evo packs a 4.3 in display, 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 8.0 mega-pixel camera, Wimax, Android 2.1, Sense UI and the ability to turn the phone into a mobile hotspot! Phew! I need a glass of water after saying/typing all of that! No detail on pricing or release date, other than Sprint saying “summer”.
