Bloomberg Businessweek just published an amazingly thorough piece on Nokia, pre- and post-Elopcalypse. We’ve long wondered how MeeGo, an OS that Stephen Elop himself said “inspires both confidence and excitement” in October 2010, could be cast aside so quickly in favor of Windows Phone, an OS still struggling to find traction in the heated smartphone market. Well, now we know. Bloomberg recounts a January 3rd meeting between Nokia’s Chief Development Officer Kai Oist

When LG’s mighty G2x shipped with Froyo, it seemed like a paradoxical pairing to say the least. Of course, this news was softened by T-Mobile’s announcement that its flagship phone would soon be transported to the land of Gingerbread, and we’re now given a spicy preview. While this is by no means a final build, our friends at This is My Next have received LG’s development copy of Android 2.3.3, and like you’d expect from any self-respecting techie, it’s been installed and taken for a spin. In particular, scrolling and touch sensitivity were found to be significantly improved, with swipes to the screen responding as intended. In addition, the G2x scored better in the Quadrant test with the new OS version, jumping up more than 200 points. Whatever developers have sprinkled into this recipe sure is tasty.

If there’s a T-Mobile myTouch 4G in your pocket, grab a fork and sit down for a Gingerbread sampling. Even though it’s not quite fully baked, the folks at 911Sniper have released a development version which hints at what’s to come. Most notably, users will appreciate a new Quick Settings tab that’s accessible from the pull-down notification area, providing an easy way to control which of the phone’s radios are active. While many report getting along just fine with this build, others are experiencing problems with WiFi and overall stability. You’ll find the recipe for this dessert by following the source link, and we have a video of it coming our of the oven after the break.

Motorola’s just finished giving the news and the numbers on its quarterly financial report, and there was one bit of badness that we just had to share: the Xoom LTE upgrade has been delayed. We won’t be seeing it until summer according to Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha, which is also when we’ll be seeing the Bionic, a delay that we were already sulking about. Jha was a little vague about what the “issue” was that is causing the delay, only that whatever quality concern there is applies to both devices, and it could simply be that the company is waiting for its LTE rollout to get a little further along. Net result: one less G for Xoom owners until the summer, and no Bionic at all until then. Bummer.

In terms of the numbers: Motorola says that it shipped over 250,000 Xooms in the first quarter of the year, and managed net revenues of $3 billion. That’s up 22 percent from this time last year, which brought losses down to $.27 per share — much nicer than the $.72 in Q1 2010. Mobile device revenues were up 30 percent and 9.1 million total mobile devices were sold, of those almost half (4.1 million) were smartphones.

When this curious bit of XML crossed our news desk today, we were immediately intrigued by the coyly-named HTC Doubleshot — an 800 x 480 device that packs Gingerbread into a QWERTY slider. After further digging, it looks like the handset gets its distinction from a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM8260, which immediately elevates it into the realm of superphone. Given the resolution and form factor, look for a screen size of 3.6 to 4 inches. While others have hastily speculated the inclusion of a 6+ megapixel camera, we’ve noted the widescreen aspect ratio, and suspect we’ll see the same 8 megapixel shooter on this device that’s found in some of HTC’s other phones. Basically, think of it as a sliding Sensation, but with a lower resolution screen. We’ve taken note of the coffee allusion, and suspect the Doubleshot involves more than one quietly brilliant company from the Seattle area (think magenta). If we’re right about the T-Mobile connection, look for an HSPA+ handset that could potentially take life as the MyTouch 4G Slide. Care to join us in the speculation?
