Android 2.3 Gingerbread on the Desire HD

[tomcolgan7]

Would it be worth upgrading to 2.3 gingerbread? i have a desire HD and i have 2.2 froyo and i find it excellent.
Is it possible for me to upgrade when it is released and if i dont like it can i downgrade back to 2.2?

you will not be able to downgrade for sure without rooting and geeky methods

and everyone will like to update to 2.3 latest version ... who will say no here

Iv looked at a few youtube videos of gingerbread 2.3 on the nexus and it doesnt really look all that great, i really like froyo 2.2. what would the benifits of upgrading to 2.3? like theres not much on the internet about it

when HTC will release 2.3 version it will come with its sense UI like now what u see on ur DHD, it will never be without htcsense

2.3 can only be an improvement on 2.2. It will have everything 2.2 has plus more. I dont see why anyone wouldnt want it?

Like in text messaging i love the keyboard and that and im afraid that i wont like the new GUI you could say im afraid of change, i dunno im afraid i wont like the new update and what it has to offer

then really you shouldn't have purchased a progressive smart phone...there will always be change and improvements. No-one knows 100% whats on 2.3 or when its coming so the point of your post is what?

Tech improves. OS improves. Fact. Its a phone. Your life won't end when 2.3 is released so don't be afraid of it!

Look i only wanted recommendations on what i should do. i dont need critisim about me buying a smartphone.
I am just curious can i downgrade after the update if i dont like the GI
as i seen the android 2.3 user guide and some of the icons and stuff change and it looks a bit different

Thanks for everyones comments and suggestions

Chill Guys
have fun !

yeah one last post here, you should have started a thread for recommendation not a poll thread, its misleading and you may not get what info u need

 

[tomcolgan7]

This isnt a polling question, i attached the poll to the question because i wanted peoples votes to help me answer the question. i should of posted the question with no poll if i knew people would actually give a damn

2.3 will look like your current 2.2, this is because htc put their sense user interface on top of it.

The 2.3 you see on the nexus S is basically android without anything on top of it.

Because you're looking at Android with no Sense UI.

2.3 is better. Upgrade when it comes.
