After a false start last month, Verizon said they needed to keep testing the Gingerbread update for the Droid Incredible. Then HTC chimed in and said Gingerbread would hit the Incredible and Thunderbolt before the end of September. The day has come for the Droid Incredible. Users are already reporting seeing notification on their device of the OTA update.
The new build number is 4.06.605.3 and the baseband version is 2.15.10.07.07. The update itself is a 87.8MB download and should take you about 20 minutes to download and install. In addition to Android 2.3, here’s the official change log from Verizon:
Download Manager App:
- New App to manage all of your downloads from web browsing, email attachments and other apps.
App and Power Management Details:
- Under Manage Applications, a new “Running” tab displays a list of active applications and the storage and memory being used by each.
Improved Word Selection and Copy Functionality:
- New capability to select a word via press-hold. A second press of the selected word copies the selected characters.
