    It also depends on what network you are on and if the phone has been branded by the network.
    If it's "stock" (i.e. no network branding) then their may be an update waiting.
    Otherwise you'll have to wait for the network to brand the update and send it out.

    Think Gingerbread 2.3.6 is the latest version for your phone.

    You can do it manually! but the site that has the info is in Blackout for the SOPA protest for the next few hours!
