Samsung DROID Charge receives Gingerbread Last week we reported that the Gingerbread update for the Samsung DROID Charge would be arriving in a week’s time and it looks like Verizon managed to keep its promise. It has been reported that the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the 4G LTE phone has started to roll out to DROID Charge owners today. So for those of you who haven’t loaded your DROID Charge with a custom ROM, be prepared to receive some Gingerbread goodness over the next few days.

In addition to the latest version of Android for phones (if you don’t count Ice Cream Sandwich), the update also brings features such as a new download manager, SD card encryption, a new color scheme and more. Of course, remember to backup your phone just in case anything does go wrong. You can never be too safe after all. If you’ve received the update, do let us know how it goes for you.

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

Samsung: Samsung is a South-Korean conglomerate which counts many subsidiaries like Samsung Electronics, which you probably know very well, but also Samsung Heavy Industries which builds ships, or Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Securities and many more.
