LG Optimus One P500 Gingerbread Update

I read online a couple of weeks ago that the Gingerbread update for the LG Optimus one will be rolling out soon. I decided to try out my luck tonight as I hook my Optimus One to my PC. Sure enough a roughly 117MB update was available. I didn't expect it to be Gingerbread though as not much chatter can be seen online. And after the update, I saw that the firmware version went down from V20G to V20D...so I rebooted the phone and to my surprise there were visual changes!

The notification bar is now black and the icons are green (i know i know, lots of Android phones had this even before Gingerbread, but hey...i said, it's new on the Optimus One) plus a location icon which was not included in the quick buttons in the notification bar buttons.

And pretty much Samsung's settings page, it's now colored (as compared to the previous' bland bi-tone layout). As for the apps, well, the notification app (the one that tells you if there's a new firmware) has disappeared while a download app has popped-out.

So far, those are the changes i've seen. Now, my LG Optimus One is now running Android 2.3.3
