It’s been a great day for LG Revolution owners. We heard earlier about a potential update for the Revolution, but Verizon has officially let the cat out of the bag by releasing their change log for the VS910ZV7 software update which includes the long-awaited Gingerbread 2.3. In addition to the standard Gingerbread features, the software update includes Email folders now displaying in the correct order and data now working correctly when toggling in Airplane mode among other things. Now that we have the change log, it should only be a matter of days before the update is officially pushed to Revolution devices. When you do receive the update, do tell us how it’s working out for you.

LG Revolution Receiving Gingerbread Update Today?

If you’ve happened to be hanging around LG’s official support forum (like, who isn’t these days?) you may have caught a little tidbit about the LG Revolution receiving Gingerbread 2.3 starting today.

“The Ginggerbread Update will start rolling out tomorrow 10/28/11 and all Revolutions should have it by 11/02/11… The Update will be delivered “Over the Air” (FOTA) … More details as I get them.”

And no I didn’t misspell Gingerbread, it’s the original quote from the forums. However, when sifting through Verizon’s site, we can’t see anything corroborating this news. So, at this point, lets just cross our fingers and hope some devices start receiving it today. If you’ve received the update, please feel free to sound off in the comments below. You’ll be giving hope to Revolutioners all over. Is that a word?

LG Optimus Q2 Coming Soon?

LG continues to stay in the Android race with their mid-to-upper based phones. Their next step into the world of slider phones: The LG Optimus Q2. While the phone’s simple 5 MP rear camera and VGA front camera may not impress you too much, some of its other specs are nothing short of cutting edge. LG assures us that the phone is slimmer and lighter than all other slider phones in its class. Tack on the 1.2 GHz Tegra , a 4 inch IPS LCD screen, and Android 2.3 you’ve got yourself quite a device here. The device is expected to launch in South Korea within the next month. Unfortunately, there’s no news yet of when LG plans to bring the device stateside. Rumor has it the device will be coming to Sprint.

It’s been a slow process bringing Netflix to most all Android phones. If you’ll recall, we have been keeping you updated as devices would unfold, slowly adding more and more phones to the Netflix-capable list. If you still don’t have access to the steaming video service, and have an Android phone running 2.2 (Froyo) or 2.3 (Gingerbread), head over to the Android Market for your official download. Although we’re crossing more devices off the list, unfortunately not all tablets are supported yet. Hit the link or QR code below for the Android Market link.

tagged 1GHZ, 2.3, DEFY, Gingerbread, motorola, O2 Germany, september

We reported on the new Motorola Defy+ earlier this month. The Defy+ looks to be pretty similar to the original Defy in construction but with some enhancements inside; namely a 1GHz processor and Gingerbread 2.3. The news here is that the Defy+ looks to be coming to O2 Germany in early September. If the above image from MobiFlip.de is to be believed, The Defy+ will look very similar to the original Defy. If you’re unfamiliar with Motorola’s Defy line of phones, they have the unique quality of being dust-proof and water resistant. We’ll let you know if we hear anymore.
