T-Mobile G2x getting Gingerbread ‘sooner than you’d expect,’ may not be a quad-band handset

We found the T-Mobile G2x to be a gem of a phone, blessed with both a speedy dual-core chip and a near-complete lack of bloatware to keep you from enjoying its raw muscle, but it’s hard to deny it would be better still with some crumbly Gingerbread toppings. If you feel the same way, then join us in celebration of some joyous news — T-Mobile tweets that Android 2.3 is coming to the G2x “soon.” The carrier’s official Twitter feed adds that Gingerbread was already being tested on the device even before launch, but unfortunately doesn’t dish on a potentially more somber situation — we’re hearing (and have found in testing) that the G2x may not actually be a quad-band GSM handset, and we’re having trouble getting an unlocked version to connect to AT&T’s 3G network. We’re currently awaiting comment, and will let you know what we hear.
