Upgrade to 2.2 now or wait for 3.0?

So I'm in the fence about upgrading my stock, rooted epic to 2.2. Now with gingerbread in the works, should I even bother with going to froyo and just wait?

please provide a link that says "Gingerbread is in the works"

Seeing as we were told that froyo was coming in september, then november and we still haven't gotten an official update I doubt it. Plus samsung has told people that they will not discuss their plans about 2.3 for us galaxy s phones

Well I wasn't particularly concerned with a Samsung released version of 3.0, as there is a "release" of 2.2 out for the Epic.

I would upgrade to 2.2 cause gingerbread source codes haven't been released yet...so it will take time for the Dev to port 2.3 over,cause their waiting for the source codes for 2.2 and 2.3....hope this helps
Just for the record gingerbread is 2.3 not 3.0....

I do. Is it said from both Samsung and Sprint? Because if both dont say it I'm thinking the wait for Froyo means I'll be on an Epic 2 before we see it

I think he's talking about a dev porting it over from the nexus and not from samsung or sprint...

The second sentence is correct.
This first one is not, unless you are just recalling rumor and speculation. Neither Samsung nor Sprint ever said Froyo would be delivered to Epics before the end of the year. Of course, the end of the year is now 17 days away.

Do you guys think that we will eventually get the vibrant gingerbread leak anytime soon or at all. Im pretty satisfied with all the 2.2 & 2.2.1 roms. But I would love a stable fully working 2.3 rom

Maybe not releasing it will help sales due to Vibrant owners upgrading to the Galaxy S2..... who knows. Or maybe T-Mobile is halting it's release for the same reason. Only time will tell.

I thought our Vibrants had been discontinued months ago. At least I'd think so with the amount of new phones Samsung is crapping out.

i9000 source is not related to vibrant right?

i REALLY do think Samsung's trying to clear it up for the Froyo mistake they did...
Maybe, just maybe the korean CEO has a heart and says Galaxy S line (specifically Vibrant) gets GB
but dreams will be dreams.

*the gingerbread thread*

Well, now that most of us have FroYo, I thought that we might be lacking something to WILDLY speculate about... sooooo GINGERBREAD ANYONE!?
Some of our friends in Europe already have gingerbread on their Galaxy S's, so the question is, when do we get ours?
Now I know that it took us over six months to get FroYo, but that was due to some sort of disagreement with Verizon and Samsung (most likely over Bing). However, since we now have 2.2, I would *assume* that they have gotten past that and that any future updates we get will most likely come in a more timely fashion.
If things go accordingly, and Samsung and Verizon play nice, then I would assume that we would be getting gingerbread around September or October (based on how long it took FroYo to be distributed to other carriers).
What do you guys think?
P.S. I'll post any major updates that appear in the media.

OP: I think the gingerbread update is going to take even longer than froyo because the gx2 and the charge are going to be out. Samsung is most likely going to update those before they even think about us.

Unfortunately, the truth is: we don't know when the heck Gingerbread is coming for the Fascinate. And with Samsung's somewhat random updates, its really hard to guess even a general date.

If we can get CM7 and maybe officially supported by CM. who cares about stock GB. If JT and PK's work becomes bug free, and it looks like they have done great job, I think we might see gold.

Having the source code from the gingerbread specifically designed for our phone would make our build of CM even more stable.

How about the Droid Orphan, cuz that's what it's felt like sometimes. The only thing keeping it going has been the adoption by this community of devs.

Completely untrue. The droid name means nothing. Carrier and manufacturer are the same. Hardware is the exact same as a the fascinate other than the fact that it has a 4g radio. Its a last gen phone in the very beginning of a new generation... No one cares about it. If anything, its twice the orphan than the fascinate was.

How much do you want to bet the Droid Charge will see Gingerbread and more minor updates than the Fascinate just because it's in the Droid lineup? Both phones are nearly identical when it comes to software. Nearly every phone in the Droid lineup has had great support(except for the Eris and maybe the Pro).

I honestly don't think the fascinate will ever see gingerbread in any sort of official way.

Where's teh Gingerbread?

Its now october and we've yet to see any official gingerbread and sources, I've lost all respect to samsung and there dev team. They've had 2 chances for an ontime release and failed both. Our latest leaks are crap with reboots and other difficulties. Even after about a half a year a major company cannot put out and release a quality piece of gingerbread.

there samsung, all the reason you'll ever need.

Not a good enough reason. If you notice the dfferent versions of GB they've went through you'll understand that for every GB version 2.3, 2.3.2, 2.3.3, and 2.3.4; Samsung took a month to two months of testing and improving. GB been in the works since april/may starting with 2.3 and now we're at 2.3.4. And from the looks of it they're in the last month of testing and improving GB

Even though 2.3.7 is out apparently lol.
I however, could have misread.
