Motorola Droid Bionic (old)
Why no gingerbread?
What is with this trend of not adding gingerbread as the OS instead of froyo? I mean it's out, it's available, so why not use it? Gingerbread is said to be faster, more powerful, and more energy efficient so would not having it on a 4G phone be a good thing? 😕

Thats a great question,why wouldnt they,like you said since its new.Im planning on upgrading to the B so let's hope they do

Like most handset manufacturers, Motorola has opted to take advantage of the openness of Android and inject their own crap (ie: Blur) into it. As a result, the injected crap has to be ported to each new version of Android and then tested for stability.
Case in point, HTC's Sense crap use to not run AT ALL in any distribution of Android running the JIT Dalvik engine (default to on in Android 2.1+). They had to spend a lot of time fixing that.
If the handset manufacturers would stop injecting their crap into Android and would just port it to their device, this wait time would be significantly smaller.

The most likely answer is that they didn't have enough time to bake Motoblur into gingerbread, so they showed it off with froyo. if this is an early summer release, I expect it to have gingerbread

They will have it either at launch or soon after. Usually worth the wait too...They rolled out 2.2 on the Droid Incredible pretty quick, and its much better with Sense on top of the vanilla android software. Just depends how fast the dev wants it out. We dont need to worry. 2.3 will be ready soon, and then we can all complain about the next release taking too long...then the next.
