installing gingerbread in motorola defy

[Avipsa]

I would say that I am using the motorola defy as my smartphone , but want to know how can I install the gingerbread in to my motorola defy. Since I am new to this kind of thing can any one explain me this in detail. As I want to install the android 2.3 to my phone.

I think there is update available for the android 2.2 for the motorola defy , then why you want to go for the installationg of android 2.3 gingerbread. instead of installing try updating the gingerbread for your motorola defy phone. As doing this is easily inderstandable and would become easy for you. So I would suggest you to go for the upgradation rather then installing the android 2.3
