Samsung will soon release the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for two of its budget smartphones – Galaxy Mini and Galaxy Gio. For those who can’t wait any more, there’s an alternative option to get your device running the latest version of Google’s mobile OS right now. Of course, some technical knowledge is required and so is the experimental spirit. If both are set, proceed to this page at SamFirmware’s website where, once registered, you will be able to grab the latest firmware for the Mini and Gio. After the update, your phone will run Android 2.3.3, which is said to deliver overall performance and battery life improvements.
As usual, we advise you to backup your data prior to entering this adventure, which BTW could easily break your warranty. Moreover, you should also be aware that if something goes wrong, we (IntoMobile) can’t be held liable. I just had to add that disclaimer.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
