Help:Can Eclair upgrade to Ginderbread directly?

[Samkee007]

Hi, I am the newbie here and I need some help.This is my first time using Android OS.
My wife's phone is Samsung i5801 Apollo which is using Eclair 2.1 can I upgrade to Gingerbread or I have to get Froyo first?
Her phone is unlocked and our carrier is AT&T we don't have no data plan other than using free WI-FI like, at home. Can some one help me answer this is possible to do?
Thanks in advance.

IF your carrier is upgrading your phone to Gingerbread, then yes, it should work just fine. However I haven't seen any information about that phone getting an upgrade yet.

Since the phone ( unlocked ) is not from AT&T I won't be able to get any upgrade from them even if they do have upgrade. I am trying to do it myself,any suggestions?

xda-developers.com, check the subforum for that device. You will have to be rooted to run any updates not from your carrier.
