Gingerbread for the HTC EVO 4G is arriving June 6th

Call it a very special one-year birthday or something, but the HTC EVO 4G is going to be officially getting its fill of Android 2.3 Gingerbread come Monday, June 6th.

Mark the date in your calendars people because one of the most popular Android handsets to launch last year is about to get better, thanks to the beauty of Gingerbread! Indeed a perfect birthday surprise, the over-the-air update will begin rolling out to handset owners in batches as usual – so don’t be too surprised if you don’t see that notification hit your device on day one. Still, you don’t need to fret because you can always initiate the manual process yourself within the Android settings menu.

Besides seeing the software being upgraded, the update also restores the handset’s ability to sync Gmail accounts and view attachments. Moreover, there are some fixes that address some battery discharge problems, which should hopefully give a little bit more life to the 4G WiMAX smartphone. Excited much?
