We have Gingerbread.
I mean yeah... you can't make any phone calls on it... but we do have it.
Also, as the rest of the SGS line is getting GB then I'm sure we'll see it eventually. Just don't hold your breath...
Samsung has stated the Galaxy S line will be getting Gingerbread. The i9000 series has been getting it. Other SGS models are also being tested with it. I don't see a reason why the i500 won't also get it, but it won't be tomorrow, next week, next month...
It won't get it because Verizon doesn't care. They're not going to devote any resources to testing and approving an update.
