Hopefully that is not the case. I had a droid X that was gingerbread and like it. I was eligible for an upgrade and first tried the X2. It was only running froyo and in ways was a step or 2 back from my Droid X and had heard that there was a possiblity that it wasnt going to be upgraded to gingerbread because of the dual core technology. So I returned it within the 14 day window because of this plus, my area was going 4G and wanted a 4G phone. Even running froyo like it is, the Charge has been faster than my Droid X. Now if you are saying that the Charge may not get gingerbread or even ice cream when it comes out, I wonder, did I make a mistake returning the X2 because contrary to what I was told and read, it now is running gingerbread.
