T-Mobile G2 Finally Gets Gingerbread Update
The T-Mobile G2 joins the G2X as back-to-back handsets to receive their Gingerbread software updates. This update breathes a bit of new life into the handset that has been out nearly a year. As the true successor to the first ever Android handset, we're glad to see the update arrive, even if it took a bit longer than we would have liked. Hit the break to see some of the features in the Gingerbread update for one of our favorite sliding QWERTY handsets on the market.

- New features:
- Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread)
- Tell HTC app
- Google Books added
- Notification bar color scheme is changed to black
