if I do a factor reset, will it go back to 2.2(Froyo)?

I have just deactivated my Droid Charge after upgrading to the Galaxy Nexus.

The Charge will now be used a Wi-Fi-only device with no phone service. I want to do a factory reset
to return EVERYTHING to factory default.

Will this cause the Droid Charge to return to Android 2.2(Froyo)? If so, how do I get it to update
to 2.3(Gingerbread) again? Since it's no longer an active phone with Verizon, I imagine that it's
not possible to receive 2.3 via OTA update.

Thanks for any advice!

If it's on 2.3 now that is what will stay on it.....factory data reset does not remove an operating system or root.....

Let us know how you like the Nexus compared to the Charge.

I went ahead and did a factory reset. Only the personal data/apps/microSD got wiped.
Gingerbread remains on the phone! Now it's as virgin as the day I bought it. (sort of)

The Galaxy Nexus is nice. It's a pleasure to use ICS. If I didn't have two phones that
are eligible for upgrades, I probably would have second thoughts about getting the
Galaxy Nexus. It's pretty clear that other Verizon smartphones(excluding the Droid Charge)
will get ICS in the next few months.

Having said that, the 1280x720 screen is what sold me. It is the best screen I have ever
seen. The fonts are so crisp and pictures/videos are detailed and colorful. (comparing
directly with the Droid Charge or my nephew's new Samsung Galaxy SII)
