I am still holding on for Gingerbread.
My G2 is acting up more and more (reboots up to 3 times per day, occasional freeze-ups that can only be resolved by removing the battery).
I still have a little bit of hope that an upgrade might fix that.
I hate to give up the G2: Great form-factor, sturdy, keyboard almost as good as the good old G1, ..

I do not see any worthy replacement (keyboard and stock Android).

Have you thought about rooting it and putting CM7 on it?  It would definately make you happier and you would continue to love your phone.  If your interested go to XDA.com, got to the G2 forums and read, read, read.  If you feel comfortable root it and you won't be sorry.  Good luck.

He meant www.xda-developers.com, not www.xda.com.

Good call on that, my bad thanks.  Hard to put links in posts from the phone.

Battery drain problem fixed but still no "Gingerbread". I would not have thought it would take so long to get the update out. It's been three weeks now and my TMO store has not gotten the SD version either, what's up?

easy fix: CM7 with 2.3.5 .. or just DL the Tmo Gingerbread OTA and put it on your sd card.. then flash it via recovery.
