Singapore Nexus One users awoke this morning to see their phones telling them of a system update, but ended up disappointed that it was just a small step up to Android 2.2.2, instead of the much-awaited Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) update.
The small over-the-air update, which brings the phone’s build number to FRG83G, brings no new UI features but includes under-the-hood bug fixes such as an SMS routing issue that reportedly sends messages to wrong parties (like your boss).
The 558KB update, which is installed on a Google Nexus One in about a minute (less massive than a big update from Android 2.1 to 2.2, for example), will not excite users like the big update to Gingerbread that Google has promised since launching the Nexus S last month with the new OS.
Among the goodies, it promises faster texting, snappier performance and Internet calls. Unfortunately, for many Nexus One users who bought the phone about a year ago, the wait continues for Gingerbread.
For those who cannot wait, there are of course home-brewed Gingerbread mods that you can download from the XDA Developers site and install on your Nexus One yourself.
hope google will not forget the nexus one users are still waiting for the so called coming soon OTA updated.
