Gingerbread release coming soon!?

So the word on Droid Life is that gingerbread will be dropping during Q2. This came from an email sent by HTC.
My question is: is it a good idea to go ahead and root now or just wait a couple months and see what happens?
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt!
TBH is stirring up some gingerbread talk on Twitter. Some sort of release to droiders... Might have to take the dx back from the gf for some gb flashing inn a few days.

People who are rooted will likely have it on their phones before non-rooted people do.

Vibrant 4g or G2x

Since I couldn't get my wife a nexus s with the upgrade. I decided to go with the vibrant 4g.
She got it on Friday via ups.
My questions is should I return the vibrant 4g and get the G2x since I can still return the phone

I'm also interested in the g2x. I work in the wireless industry and I got a chance to play with it and its amazing. Only issue is.....what's the resale value of the ns.

G2X no doubt. It has everything I've been looking for in a phone. Vanilla Android for faster update, nVidia Tegra 2 for exclusive games, HDMI mirroring and a good camera with flash.

G2 was said to be "stock" Android but it was nothing like stock. It looks like stock, but it's not 100% stock.
But have fun.

I think you should wait for Galaxy S 2.
The G2x is simply not worth it, its so bugged :S
I'll never touch that thing again...

I got the G2x... my wife got the new Samsung 4G... both are so awesome!
The 2Gx is faster since it has the dual cores... but either way, you'll love it. Go for the G2x tho if you're a gamer.
I just got the G2X and love it, I have the Vibrant T959 and then the Galaxy S 4G T959V (too many variance in names for the Galaxy S, Vibrant - sure you know can understand). Anyways not even rooted yest the G2X is an awesome phone! If I didn't get that I would have seriously gotten the 1st Vibrant T-Mobile came out with but not being 4G would have sucked but for the moment I would have been pleased.
Hope I didn't make anyone mad or offend anyone either. As you can see I did keep the T959V (4G) just to try to see if I could learn on how to improve it and help add to the positive and not negative. Hope that counts for something when reading this.

Then you should totally go with the G2X. I was disappointed with not having the internal extra memory and capabilities that go along with that and in fact was going to return the 4g but kept it and then got the G2X on Saturday, haven't even rooted it yet or really played on it and love it!
It's fun to because it is a totally different setup being LG and the 4g is to a naked eye JUST LIKE the Vibrant 3g without the space and internal memory features.
Post what you decided on and let me know what you think. You can always get the 4g to be sure and then return it. You will know the day you get it if you want it or not coming for the T959. Let me know what you do, I'm curious if it was just me or anyone else who did the same (thinking it was an upgrade) and was really disappointed with it. I didn't plan on buying it, just a impulse purchase I am so bad with those.
Do not regret for a moment the 2nd impulse purchase for a phone I don't even really need which was the G2X, that phone is awesome and there is a lot already out there for it (including flashing CWM). Good luck.

Kies Mini
Kies mini recognizes my infuse now but says its unregistered.
we know that the infuse and sgs4g are getting 2.3.5 and the t-mobile gs2 supposedly ships with 2.3.5 but the gs2 att version ships with 2.3.4. give it atleast a couple weeks since they will likely update both (and the captivate) together. i doubt they will give us 2.3.5 before the gs2 but who knows. even if they do i dont think they'd release the infuse update till after the frenzy is over for the gs2

The crazy part is that if you go on the AT&T website right now and look at the specs for the GS2, it doesn't' even list what operating system it comes with.

It's not that I don't want to flash or anything and I'm not gonna say things like Att sucks. But I want to wait for official Gingerbread so we can see some really good ROMs based on official.

The 2.3.5 leaks are pretty good but I get it. Lack of sources is a *****. Entropy fixed wifi on his kernel but no HDMI is annoying. I am on the fence with what to spend my time with. I might abandon simply honey as there are bug I have no hope of fixing and my even after disabling the battery full notification it still causes a bug where I need to reboot the phone to mount the SD after a full charge.
Its either work on that or work on ucki3/4 and I'm leaning towards ucki3 over simply honey right now.
Yeah it's a joke that official gingerbread isn't out yet. Guess we are really lucky to have the roms we do. Infused 1.6 is excellent. Will be sad when all the devs leave for gs2!!

Kinda figured this would happen. Now if HTC was a decent company they would still release their source...but we all know they wont.
Im not all expecting to see an official release but that site is about the most vague pile of crap ever. I cant help but doubt the validity of anything posted there.

I never really expected this to happen after observing all the work from the devs on it. ICS has always ran kinda wishy washy for me. I mean it works and all, but there are definitely some performance issues and bugs no matter which rom you use. Verizon nor HTC intends to release a shoddy product. It either has to work 100% or not at all. If ICS cant run as well as GB did, then it aint gonna happen.
I wish I had a dollar for all the false rumors that have been posted about ICS, I'd buy Verizon and have enough left over to keep me in booze and hookers for the rest of my life!
I think this is one more dollar in my stash....

If that were the case though, the thunderbolt would've ran well from launch day, which anyone who had one since then will say that it didn't. Originally the battery life was horrendous and had to be fixed by an OTA.

NO ICS
just called HTC ,,, and they told me , that we are not getting ics,,, htc thunderbolt is discontinued,,,, :crying:

			
				
We could call and email different reps at HTC and we would get a slew of different responses from them all. Stuff like this no one will know the correct answer as tech support as we all know is the last to know.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2
So let's see if I understand this... the OFFICIAL WORD from Verizon AND from HTC is that the Thunderbolt will or will not get ICS and will get it within the next two days or later than that or never.
Does that about cover it? <G>
Honestly, I don't see what all the flap is about? ICS doesn't offer anything I need or want other than (I HOPE!) a better kernel for the Devs to work with.
Meanwhile, NuSense works for me and the BAMF leak works for me if I want ICS and, if I want Gingerbread, Infected ROM works for me and Thunderstick BB works for me along with a bunch of other ROMs I've tried.
Was at Verizon today, Reps informed me there will be no ICS for our phones...Cant say I'm surprised...my upgrade is in January, not going to worry about it .. Can't believe they state we would get the upgrade, then renege ..
If Apple can upgrade their older model Iphones for several years , why can' t our Android phones do the same.. and no I'm not switching..
