Hi All: Here is a vid on how to go through the steps to install the latest 'gingerbread' cyanogenmod 7 update. It does not even require the product to be 'unlocked' which in some cases invalidates the operator/Cell Service Provider agreement. The modification is also not in violation of Google's agreement with reference to proprietary components...if you do have those new components, they can backed up and restored without violating any licensing agreements. (I have not looked up the methods to properly backup and restore proprietary components, yet.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3thA9OWQc8 Sorry, to say there is not an 'ice-cream sandwich' version available, yet but, in most cases, unless you have the latest hardware, there are insufficient resources to install and run that version.

There is a popular alternative firmware of android (or "distro", I suppose you could call it) called cyanogenmod (http://www.cyanogenmod.com/). It should be fairly trivial on many android phones (or most?) to install this alternative, clean firmware and it frees your phone from vendor specific nastiness (funny how android vendors are following the same path as the pc world with HP style software bundling) plus throws in a bunch of nice features on top of that. The only problem is that it is still only using gingerbread. They are working on an icecream sandwich version now tho. I hear a lot of android users raving on about it, so it seems to have a popular support, and it's free & open source. There's a list of devices that it supports on its wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod Happy jail breaking.
