U8800 owners waiting patiently for an official update to Android Gingerbread have been rewarded with an earlier-than-planned update from Huawei in the form of a BETA update. The update is mostly error-free but Huawei do state that users may experience issues with WiFi.

A statement was posted on the Huawei Device Facebook page regarding the update:

Quote

The Android 2.3 Gingerbread upgrade for the IDEOS X5 is now available for download on our website. Please note that this is a trial version and that you may experience some issues when using Wifi.

We also confirm that the better experienced version will be released on December 30th, 2011. Our sincere apologies for the delay. Please be advised that we are putting into place processes to ensure that these delays do not happen again

Any U8800 owners feeling brave enough to test the BETA update can do so by downloading the archive from Huawei Device directly. If you have installed this to your U8800 we would be interested to read your thoughts!

Download the update here

I have been using it since it was originally released on 30th November and have had no problems at all. Not even wifi.So I am very pleased. Battery could be better but still it's better than 2.2.  Will be interested to see if the final r elease has any improvements.I would recommend trying this version.
