Motorola Droid 2 Global to receive Gingerbread update

Your Motorola Droid 2 Global is going to get crunchier – why so, you ask? Well, it will be getting the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update soon enough, at least according to Verizon's website that has already listed down just what else your handset is going to be capable of once the update is installed. From a new Download Manager app which will allow you to manage the rest of your apps and downloads straight from the Internet as well as email attachments, you too can experience a new short cut when it comes to typing numbers from the virtual QWERTY keyboard.

The use of selected combinations will let you type numbers and symbols without having to switch to numeric mode. In addition, you can select a word by using press-hold. Press twice, and selected characters can be copied. Other changes include calendar events that are kept in local time even when you travel to make you not forget a single appointment. Expect to see this update roll out sometime this week, no? [Verizon Page]
