Damn I can't believe you guys are getting 2.3 Gingerbread before my Captivate does

This news intrigues me

 

[Tommy_G]

i thought they were skipping 2.3 and going straight to 2.4?

 

[arlrb]

i thought they were skipping 2.3 and going straight to 2.4?

Definitely not.
I doubt we'll ever get 2.4.

 

[El Presidente]

I read somewhere that there will be very little difference between 2.3 & 2.4 for the end user, it just offers better tablet support.

Difference Between Android 2.3 and Android 2.4 | Difference Between | Android 2.3 vs Android 2.4

That wasn't the exact link, but you get the idea.

 

[KingDong]

Does anyone know whats the difference between 2.2 and 2.3?

Dude all you had to do was look at the link.

 

[Juint]

I am wondering what kind improvement in battery life we should expect with 2.3.

 

[Mitchturbo]

Proberly not much, but enough to notice a little difference.... I'm hoping the update will increase the volume on the speakers... phone aint loud enough!

It would be nice lol
Can't wait!
