The latest word is that the Android 2.2 Froyo packing T-Mobile G2x smartphone may not have that long to wait until the device gets updated to the latest Android OS, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, although it isn’t clear just how long it will take.

According to an article over on Android Central, T-Mobile USA used their Twitter account to tweet “@thephilbert Gingerbread is coming to G2x soon. You won’t have to wait long.”

Although “soon” could mean any time for a couple of hours to several day or weeks, so it’s just a matter of waiting for the update to drop.

Furthermore, according to the guys over at Phandroid, by way of Android Unite, the T-Mobile G2x isn’t the only smartphone getting the Android Gingerbread dump, as T-Mobile USA also tweeted when asked if the T-Mobile G2 was going to get Gingerbread…”@The_Android_Guy In Progress. Coming soon.”

So there you have it, T-Mobile G2x and G2 owners can look forward to being updated to Android Gingerbread at some point in the not too distant future.
