Want a HTC Android Gingerbread phone – other than the Nexus One? While we don’t know yet which HTC Sense phones will be getting the treatment, we’ve just had word from the company about its plans for Android 2.3. Read on for the full statement.
We asked a HTC spokesperson about the company’s plans for Android 2.3, announced on Monday, and what phones would support it, and received this response:
“We are excited about the OS update coming for Android, and while HTC will definitely have some phones running this OS, we do not have a specific timeframe for new phones or updates at this time. Please stay tuned for more details.”
So, no word on when the HTC Desire family or HTC Legend might be getting Android 2.3, but it the stressing of the plural means we should see a few HTC Android Gingerbread phones at least.
Android 2.3 brings several new software features, such as speed improvements and internet phone call support, as well as Google Maps with offline caching, one of the features HTC added on top of Android 2.2 with its own navigation app, so it’ll be interesting to see what makes the cut if Android 2.3 gets overlaid with HTC Sense.
Do you want to see Android 2.3 on your HTC phone? Are you prepared to wait it out or would you sell your Froyo phone for a new HTC Android Gingerbread blower? Let us know in the comments below.
