Guess Gingerbread for EVO ain't

Was a lot of buzz about Gingerbread for EVO starting back in October. Rumors were we would have it by the end of the year, maybe a Christmas present. Then February was the magic month.
Not talking about a hacked version for another phone but an OTA for us.
Things gotten real quiet round these parts.
Anyone know anything?

Gingerbread 2.3.3 for Nexus One/Nexus S direct downloads discovered

If they are just getting it then there is hope for us still in the coming months.

2.3 is only for the nexus s, which is why it doesn't work correctly for us. We have to wait for 2.4

I'm sure they'll be a custom rom for those who are rooted.

What are the major differences between froyo 2.2 and GB 2.4? Is there a big difference?

The problem is not having a custom to but getting something fully functional. 2.3 is not possible, so we have to wait for 2.4

As I stated before..Gingerbread was not ready for the consumer...even new phones were no coming out with Gingerbread but with Froyo instead..come March/April is when Gingerbread will start appearing on phones..to assume EVO would get Gingerbread before any other new phone comes out with it is silly..remember their priority is sell new phones..then offer updates..not saying it won't happen just saying it will take a month or so more..same story with Froyo and Nexus One..

Froyo was released like May I think..EVO got Froyo update in August..that was 3 months and when they had the upper hand on the release since they made the Nexus One..now Gingerbread came out in December..that would make March the 3 month time-frame..but I think March is when the new phones will get it (International Galaxy S may get it in March too since this time Samsung had the upper hand)..and April is when the updates will come in..

htc stated that the htc desire / desire z / desire HD will get GB Q2 2011

If the desire gets it, there is no reason for the evo not to. Its sprints call now
