If you own a or , you're in luck. Verizon Wireless today began pushing out a software update to bring each of these devices up to Android 2.3, otherwise known as Gingerbread.

Gingerbread is the latest version of Android and it brings a host of improvements over Froyo, its predecessor. Each update also comes with a number of additional upgrades and fixes for each device. See below for specific improvements to each phone, as well as how to get the update.

Droid 2 Global

The Droid 2 Global (slideshow below) update includes new app and power management details, along with improved word selection and copy functionality. You can now select a word via press-hold, and a second press will copy the selected characters.

Visually, there are new widgets, icons, and screens with refreshed colors, as well as new icons that will appear in your phone's dock. A new app menu allows the creation of custom app groups, in addition to three default groups, including All Apps, Downloaded, and Recent.

In addition to these updates, there's also improvements in security, calendar options, and email and messaging. You're also going to get some additional preloaded apps and programs, which include some bloatware, so watch out for that.

You will be automatically notified that a system update is available for your device, but if you still haven't been notified, you can press Menu>Settings>About Phone>System Updates>Download, to download the update.

Droid Incredible

There are fewer updates for the Droid Incredible, but they aren't any less useful. There's a new download manager app, to manage all of your downloads from Web browsing, email attachments, and other apps. There's also advanced 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.

Like the Droid 2 Global, there is the new capability to select a word via press-hold, with a second press of the selected word to copy the selected characters. There are also improvements for messaging and internet connection.
