If you are an owner of the HTC EVO 4G on Sprint and patiently waiting for your smartphone to get updated to Android 2.3 Gingerbread, it would appear that all evidence points to the HTC EVO 4G gaining the Gingerbread update if a few days time.

According to the guys over at Engadget, they have been given a little evidence that EVO 4G owners may be pleased to hear, evidence that they are to start receiving the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update as of the 6th of this month.

Apparently the Gingerbread update will be rolled out over the air, but the guys do say that if you manually check tomorrow, Friday, there is a chance that you might be able to grab the update early.

Apparently along with getting rid of Android 2.2 Froyo the update will deliver a power management tweak, SMS and Gmail fixes. So if you simply can’t wait until Monday the 6th, do the manual thing and feel free to let us know if you do manage to snatch the Gingerbread update early.
