It looks like the Evo Shift 4G will be receiving the Gingerbread treatment that many have been hoping for. According to some new information from Sprint, you can expect to start seeing the update available on your Evo Shift as of June 17th. Sprint will be sending out software update notifications to Evo Shift owners but you can just keep checking for the software update from the settings menu, when that day arrives.

Having come from a qwerty device previously myself, I can see why some users just may see this as a superior device to its’ keyless cousin. Especially seeing how the Shift already has Sense 2.1. Perhaps HTC will keep this in mind when they hit users with the maintenance release for the original Evo 4G.

There is already a leaked version of this Gingerbread update. It is currently available in a rooted version, for the original HTC Evo 4G and runs quite well on the device.
Aside from the standard Gingerbread goodies and fixes, this update includes Swype as the default keyboard, a download manager, and a fix for some known streaming media issues.

With the Shift getting Sense 2.1, do you think HTC will skip giving the Evo 4G(original) Sense 2.1, in efforts to keep everyone upgrading?
Do you look forward to some Gingerbread sweetness on your Evo Shift 4G?
Are there bugs you hope to see corrected in this release?
Let me know what you think.

While we don’t have an visual confirmation of this, lets just say it makes sense. We’re getting a report that the Dell Venue Pro is already shipping with the NoDo update on board, ready for some copy-n-paste action—at least in India (did I just burst your bubble?)

Reader Vinod writes to tell us: “My friend just picked up a new Dell Pro in India, and it has the NoDo (copy-paste) update already applied! The moment I saw the copy icon appearing on his phone, I yelled and started trying it out! Works exactly as advertised and in the emulator.”

Like we said, it makes sense. Just like how that leaked Sprint 7 Pro Finalized ROM has now been confirmed to have NoDo on board, we can expect some devices rolling off the factory floors to have the update already applied. OEMs have been working with the update for a few months already, all we know is we’re getting darn close! (Interesting enough, we[source writer] tried every single WP7 device on display at Mobile World Congress, not one had the update applied – looks like Microsoft didn’t let anyone slip it in there.).

So with this exiting news PPCGeekers – can you let us know if you start to see the NoDo update on Windows Phone 7 devices? Let us know in the comments below – if not we should hopfully start seeing the updates soon here in the USA. Maybe just maybe we can get a little NoDo loving in new phones that are on their way our the door as we speak!.

According to a few users at XDA, owners of the TMobile G2 handset began getting a possible “test” over-the-air update yesterday that reportedly enables Wifi calling, tethering, an update to google goggles and also hotspot capability. We aren’t certain that these are all of the updates or that all users will be receiving it as of yet because it’s only been reported by a few people so far. As soon as we hear of more detailed information we will let you know.

It seems that this would be impossible knowing that the G2 can’t be kept permanently rooted. Then again, when you are the company that manufactures the device, there just may be no limits as to what they can do OTA. Do you own this device? Did you receive any updates? If so, share your experience with us.
