Google had tweeted from its official GoogleNexus account that both Nexus S and Nexus One users will receive the Android 2.3.3 OTA update and it will take a few weeks to complete this OTA, but we have a good news for all the Nexus users, Google has released the official Update .Zips and now you will be able to download it directly from Google.
The Android 2.3.3 update has many issues solved like the random rebooting issues and many kernel tweaks, it will also be the first Gingerbread OTA for the Nexus One users who have been kept in the dark despite the release of Android 2.3 Gingerbread in December.
