Your on Verison don't hold your breath.First Verizon will hold it back till all the supposed newer phones are released then have it for a few months to add all their bloat wear. •¿•

^^^^ Really? ^^^^ is that on your Thunderbolt or a real Google phone? If on your T-bolt please give us a little info. I was playing with a Nexus S this weekend and I think T-Mobile and I are going to have a talk cause that thing is awesome. The google video chat is perfect and didn't require a shady download of a leaked Skype apk. 

I found this to be an intersting read check it out. http://www.androidcentral.com/androids-most-wanted-new-phones-current-os

I guess I spoke to soon cause now I just read this http://www.androidcentral.com/test-build-android-234-leaks-thunderbolt#comment-139066

PJNC284 maybe you could let us know about your impressions of that build.

That would be my phone running a Gingerbread RUU that was leaked this morning. It's not publicly available and likely won't be the version pushed out in the next couple months by Verizon but it is available for the impatient among us.  Camera doesn't work and the weather for the current location hangs and may or may not work but seems to be working fine other than those little annoyances.  The Google Chat w/ Video isn't in the rom but there is a version floating around that's supposed to work on any 2.3 rom so we'll see.

PJNC284, you are such a tease! Having said that, I am glad to hear there is a leak build out in the wilds. It means that for those of us who are not that adventurous will have the official build someday.

Here's a video from droid-life.com for those who want Gingerbread for the Thunderbolt looks like.  Looks and feels pretty much the same as Froyo with a couple enhancements/tweaks.  Would be nice to get all the cool features of Sense 3.0 but suppose 2.1 is good enough.

[Ann154]

Oh those quick settings from the notification window... Gimme!

Can hardly wait now, but I will be good to the Thunderbolt. My Droid Eris however is another story.

[PJNC284]

So for another teaser, I'm loving this Sense 3.0 Lockscreen on the Thunderbolt. 

[TBoltOwner]

Wow --- me likey!!!

[PJNC284]

Only bad thing is the Thunderbolt may not even "officially" see those cool 3.0 elements.  The Gingerbread leak is based on Sense 2.1 which is ok and brings the quick settings in the notification pull down which is handy but they definitely could've done more. Demo of Sense 3.0 on the Sensation.

I almost had a heart attack when netflix loaded and played...for about 5 mins then when white screen

SOON
