Gingerbread update for HTC DROID Incredible delayed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleDroid IncredibleAndroid 2.3
We recently reported that the HTC DROID Incredible might not be getting upgraded to Android 2.3. However, according to Android Central, Verizon was ready to send out the update yesterday to 10,000 DROID Incredible users, followed by 50,000 today and the remaining owners of the device on Friday. Unfortunately, it seems that Big Red has put the kibosh on a Gingerbread snack for the HTC DROID Incredible as it appears that the software needs more work.

iCloud based iPhone rumored to arrive with the iPhone 5

We can't stop iPhone rumors any more than we can stop the seasons or the tides, especially when those rumors focus on the mythical low-cost iPhone which consumers have been calling for since the iPhone first launched. The newest rumor comes from Apple 'n' Apps Trevor Sheridan, who says he spoke with 3 sources "connected to Apple". Not the most to work with, but it'll have to do.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsDellGoogleAndroid 3.0
Clearly overshadowed by the myriad of Honeycomb tablets that we’ve continuously been seeing for the better part of the last few months, the Dell Streak 7 has been overlooked by many due to its choice of sticking to an older build of the platform.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogle
Google has refreshed its mobile Gmail site for iOS and PlayBook OS devices with new higher-res icons and pull-to-refresh options. According to Google, these improvements make Gmail look sharper and feel smoother when accessed on mobile devices.
The message list can now be refreshed by pulling down on the list on all iOS devices as well as on the BlackBery PlayBook. Users of the iPhone 4 will now see higher-res icons that look better on the Retina Display when browsing Gmail in Mobile Safari. There are also new transitions that appear when moving between messages and menus in Gmail.

HTC ThunderBolt getting Gingerbread this quarter
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleAndroid 2.3ThunderBolt
The HTC ThunderBolt was the first 4G-enabled smartphone on Verizon's speedy LTE network, but since its launch not much has changed with its software – the handset continues to run on the quickly aging Android 2.2 Froyo, even though back in March HTC spilled the beans about an upcoming Gingerbread update. Well, four months later, it's still coming, but this time we have a particular time period for it – the third quarter of the year.
HTC representatives have been spreading the word about the update which will add Gingerbread tweaks and features, and fix some problems along the way:
“We are working hard to address the issues you have mentioned with future updates for the device. We are excited...

Gingerbread update for the T-Mobile myTouch 4G & G2 is arriving starting on August 6th
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsT-MobileGoogleG2myTouch 4GAndroid 2.3
Once seen as the heavy handed power punch combo for Big Magenta, both the T-Mobile G2 and myTouch 4G are getting just a little bit of spark back into their lives thanks to their upcoming Android 2.3 Gingerbread updates.
For a while now, we’ve been hearing lots of information about it, but we’ve actually started to hear news about their roll out of late – albeit, some are still eagerly awaiting for its arrival. Well, for those who seemingly are unable to get the highly anticipated update to Gingerbread, customers can head into their local T-Mobile store starting on August 6th to get it. However, it’s worth noting that handset owners located in the midwest and west regions will need to wait un...

Best Buy dishing out free Nexus S for one day only, ball and chain included
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleNexus S
Have you been looking to get your hands on a nice slice of Gingerbread without totally wrecking your wallet? If so... your time has come. Best Buy has announced that starting tonight (August 2nd) at 11 p.m. CST -- we'll assume they meant CDT, aka midnight Eastern -- it will begin offering the Google Nexus S for free (you read that right). Of course, you'll still have to chain yourself to a two-year agreement with AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile to cash in on this deal, but wait a day later and the price will certainly jump back up to a full Benjamin. So set your clock, and make sure you score one either in-store or online before 11:59 p.m. CST tomorrow. Check out the full details in the PR, just p...

T-Mobile G2x Gingerbread update running through employee trials, "coming soon" just got closer
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsT-MobileGoogleAndroid 2.3G2x
You didn't think T-Mobile forgot all about you G2x users out there, did ya? The phone, foreordained to become the carrier's poster child, didn't have the best launch ever; when you release a device plagued with glitches and a nearly-immediate inventory shortage, you're not really starting off on the right foot. Don't let those "out of stock" signs fool you into thinking the mystical handset has been completely wiped from existence, however. It's still around -- in fact, the "Get More" network is hard at work to give more, prepping the phone's update to Gingerbread that'll likely include much-needed fixes. We reached out to a T-Mobile spokesperson, who briefed us on the progress of this elusi...

HTC Desire gets updated to Gingerbread, but not really
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleDesireAndroid 2.3
If you are among the bunch of people still holding on to their trusty HTC Desire, you might not like the news that we have to share with you. It looks like the smartphone will not be treated to Gingerbread after all, or at least not in the form of a full-fledged update that HTC was expected to release by the end of July.
Technically, an official Gingerbread ROM for the HTC Desire will be available for download, yet it will not be pushed out to the general public due to a number of issues that the HTC developer team simply couldn't hurdle. HTC stated on its Facebook page that “certain functions may no longer be usable after re-flashing the ROM, including but not limited to MMS and SMS”, but ...

HTC Desire Gingerbread update available, excludes US and comes with long list of caveats
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCGoogleDesireAndroid 2.3
First off, if you own the North American variant of this handset then you're out of luck. Likewise, Japanese, South Korean and some German handsets are also excluded. Still here? Okay then, but you might not like what comes next. We already knew that either the Sense UI or some pre-installed apps would be cleared out to make room in the Gingerbread house, but now it seems the update is so unstable that HTC is only prepared to release it as a ROM via its developer site. That means a factory reset of your device, a bunch of worries about SMS and MMS not working properly, and a cold disclaimer in the event of things going wrong. Still, at least HTC gave (some of) us the choice. Visit the source...
