Gingerbread update rolling out OTA for your T-Mobile G2 now

Throughout the week we’ve chatted about the G2 a bit, in hopes of a Gingerbread update. We mentioned the Android 2.3.3 build being leaked, which include a few improvements such as, better radio and audio codecs, faster boot up and response, improved GUI and bug fixes for bluetooth and WiFi. Then, later in the week we discussed the T-Mobile stores getting shipments of SD cards pre-loaded with the Gingerbread update. This was for all those maybe not comfortable with updating, giving them the option to take it in to their local store and letting the techs update for them.

So, if you’ve been been hoping any time now to receive this update OTA, looks like the wait is over. The candy has arrived!

If you can wait, just sit tight and this update will roll out to G2 owners over the next few weeks. Understandably though, if you’re a little anxious for the Android 2.3.3, you can manually check for the update using the following path:

Menu>Settings>About Phone>System Updates

When you get this update post up in the comments below. We would love to hear our readers thoughts on the improvements. The graphic below will give you a rundown of what you can expect from the tasty new Gingerbread update:

    Any sign of the Desire Z update coming to the UK yet?

    Will I still get the OTA update if I already updated to the leaked version from last week? After updating my keyboard back light doesn’t work properly. I am wondering if this update fixes that problem on all phones.

    Has anyone gotten this yet? Is it actually rolling out?

    Can someone who has gotten this please post the build number so that those of us who had installed the leaked version confirm that it is the same. Thanks
