Sorry, yes, Gingerbread which by the way, is just 2.3. I downloaded and installed the Os following XDA site instructions. (thanks captkjaneway). There are tons of modified ROMs for HTC phones there. Mine is running Windows and Android Froyo as dual boot.

This is like installing Vista on your computer after having Windows XP. Usually most drivers and applications (at the point of the release) have been written for XP. Attempting to run or install something new just makes your device not usable, not in terms of applications and added functionality via extra software. Because is so new, it is difficult to find new drivers and new applications.

I never install a fresh or brand new Os on anything just after came out to market. In real life, big companies like the one I work for, we take the "wait" approach. It allows the new Os or software to settle down and developers to create new apps.
