what devices are getting gingerbread?

LG has publicly confirmed now that all handsets in the Optimus One line (One,S,T,M,Vortex,etc) WILL be receiving the Gingerbread update in the future.

Hmmm when will 2.4 come out? The reason I ask, is because I am with US Cellular and they are still on 2.1. The keep saying that the release for 2.2 should be coming soon. I figure we should get 2.3 about 6 months after 2.4 is released.
 
i would think that youll get it for sure. i think any phone that got (or is getting, in the case of the galaxy s phones) froyo, with the possible exception of the OG droid, should get 2.3 as well. pure speculation on my part though, so take that for what it is worth

The OG Droid not getting it would just be a lazyness on Motorola's part. The device can and does run Gingerbread, and runs it really really well.

I have it running Gingerbread, OC'd to 800Mhz and I don't notice any difference in speed from my DX.. It's super snappy.

But, since this device is easily hackable and super popular still, I forsee it getting aftermarket updates until it's just physically not possible due to size, ram limitations or some other requirement.

So, I would say to anyone who has the OG Droid, don't give up hope.. it'll continue getting non-official updates.
 
Some Verizon rep today told me that the Incredible was going to to get the update next month. Sounds like crazy talk to me, but can anyone corroborate this?

I would think that the Incredible would be one of the first to get it. It is a great phone and no doubt it will be one of the first.

LOL I would love to see the Galaxy S line-up not get Gingerbread because Samsung is too lazy. I am pretty sure they will, I am almost 99.9% because the Nexus S has it but you never know Samsung still hasn't given them Fro-yo yet in the US. Maybe they will skip 2.2 and go straight to 2.3 Gingerbread.
 
I'm just waiting here with my tongue hanging out waiting for this update. I can't seem to get the gingerbread keyboard installed on my unrooted phone. :(
 
Anyone notice how similar 2.3 is to Warm TwoPointTwo? The dock is almost identical other than the font. Gingerbread really doesn't do much for me. It seems as if they haven't done much with the update other than a few needed updates to conserve battery life.
Of course I forgot about the keyboard.. but then again 2.3 and Warm TwoPointTwo are very similar.

Personally I think that VZW rep was full of shat, verizon is notorious for delaying OTA's for months at a time. And if there was an OTA coming soon even with in a couple O months good ol AC would had a story on it.

This makes me happy. I still have my droid1 from the first week it was released. I've been afraid of bricking it, so its still unrooted. Now that I've got my upgrade I'm not so scared of bricking. I hope rooting and running some ROM or other will freshen this thing up enough for me to be able to wait for a phone I really want (like atrix for vzw or bionic w/keyboard).

*edit
At this point, motorola should just give droid1 an ota root. The only people still using them are the ones that will root it anyway.

The original Droid doesn't get enough credit, it's a beast, and it's still a very capable device hands down. I keep mine around in the event something happens to my Fascinate, for that exact reason.

Did you run a Gingerbread ROM on your phone or something? I have Moto Droid 2, do you think I could run it?
 
The key is un-official.
I am sure Verizon doesn't want to push it with the original droid and have a bunch of owners with bricks on their hands.

I have the Gingerbread ASOP release from Google.

If you google "gingerbread ASOP ROM Droid 1" there's tons of links.

some things on it don't work because of drivers, such as GPS, button/keyboard backlight and accelerometer.. but I have the first ASOP release..there's been others that have fixed the non-working stuff.
