The floodgates have opened over at HTC, with new ROMs coming online today for the HTC Lead, Holiday, and now the HTC Thunderbolt. The Thunderbolt leak is none other than a test build of the upcoming Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for Verizon’ first 4G LTE smartphone.
HTC previously informed us that the plan is to launch the Gingerbread update by the end of Q2, giving the manufacturer a little over a month and a half to get testing squared away and a build finalized. Having a fairly functional leak this early is a good sign.

I’ll take it.. that is if I can have it rooted as well!
First!
this leak will lead to milestones in the GB dev for the TB. Like miles dyson having access to the terminators CPU and arm. Good day for TB owners.
Then the EVO is somewhere nearby.
This looks like HTC Merge, which is available at India (Letsbuy) for just 1000 Rs ($23) for pre ordering…
back facing camera is not working in the leak & neither is the weather widget for current location… I’ve held off on flashing this ROM. Check XDA for details.
i cant wait for this update
Looking forward to the update…I think? I’m not sure how Gingerbread is any better than Froyo.
