Any dates on Gingerbread (Android 2.3) release by Three?

vinylbomb

As per topic, anyone have any ideas?
I've recently gotten my hands on a Desire HD, and have the 2.3 SDK - what I'm wondering is what are Three like with release updates, am I better rooting my phone and flashing it myself or waiting for the OTA update? (I'd rather not flash a stock OS on top of the custom Three version for fear of bricking the phone, or losing all my settings)

HTC have said that gingerbread is coming "two to three" months after the S line of phones is launched in Q2. Sounds like it couldd be september before the current line-up get some Ginger loving. Probably another month or two before Three push it out. What features are you looking for?

I'm not sure there are any true gingerbread ROMs out there yet? Just skins for 2.2? That said I have downloaded the gingerbread keyboard is available and is so much better than stock FroYo.

You could try asking on the Three hosted forum here on boards. Doubt they'll actually have an answer but wonders will never cease.

You're going to want to look at MoDaCo, xda, or cyanogen first for 2.3 or 2.3 based roms. You really wouldn't be building much with the sdk fwiw, it's for app development primarily.

To build from source for a ROM is a whole different ballgame, but it can be done if you have the right set-up and some knowledge.

Install a custom rom, you will be waiting at least 6 months (I guess) for 3 to release gingerbread.

The only way to get Gingerbread officially right now is to buy a Nexus S (which is awesome).
