Hi, did you guys see that all the new phones announced at CES 2012 are coming with 2.3 Gingerbread. That's a big FU from the manufacturers.
The CES is the Diet Coke of new phone intros. Just wait for the Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona Spain on 2/27 - 3/1. Samsung will most likely introduce the Galaxy S3 there. The CES this year looks like a dud. Glad I didn't go despite the free tickets.
