    It's Android 2.3.6. Mine just updated. I think it's mainly a security update. Looks the same and seems to be running the same.

    Took me about 10-15 minutes. Re-booted several times just like the update to 2.3.5.

    I ended up getting an update yesterday morning. I upgraded and there was a few changes. New useless application called BoostZone. The application just has a few bookmarks to manage your account and pay your bill. Also the screen for when you receive an incoming call is slightly different. It fixed a bug with call waiting. So far that is all I have noticed.

    I also noticed when viewing PDF's in ThinkFree instead of scrolling left to right to advance to the next page you just scroll down. (Major improvement in my opinion!!!)
