I told my friend I'd bet I get GB before he gets 2.2, looks like I might be right.2.3?? Man. We're still waiting for the 2.2 Froyo update for the Samsung Galaxy S. Taking forever.
The reason is "other". The carrier subsidized phones are always later with updates because of the customizations they need made.Is there a technical/other reason behind this?
Hope I see it pop up soon.Gingerbread is the fastest version of Android yet, and it delivers a number of improvements, such as user interface refinements, NFC support, a new keyboard and text selection tool, Internet (VoIP/SIP) calling, improved copy/paste functionality and gyroscope sensor support.

Google's answer: Don't worry -- it's on the way. A representative from the Android team tells me there have been no unexpected hurdles and that the rollout should be starting soon.
