it is the next version of the android operating system...but doesn't appear to be coming any time soon. your phone's operating system is updated from time to time with added features...much like windows 95 to 98 to now...vista, then windows 7.

Google has already stated the hardware specs are false for those rumors.  They also stated they are going to a 6 month cycle since Froyo came out in the later 1/2 of this year that means if Gingerbread does exist then it will have to be January or later.

I'm actually holding out for a new phone in December. Those rumored Duel Core Tegra 2 Processor LTE phones keep me up at night lol.

As I can see from your specs, we won't benefit from this update at all. Useless update. The new resolution would only be compatible with screens 4' and above.

With all the features we have now, what else are we gonna need?

Besides that, not even all Incredible ownsers have Froyo yet, it's too early to talk about some Gingerbread. Not even all Froyo users use all of its new features, such as 3G Hotspot and bugging apps that came with the update.

I'm just wondering what would Gingerbread bring that will make me like this phone more than I already do. Nothing.

An option to dual boot or revert back to previous os version would be a good start....!!
