EVO 4G about to get Netflix fix; EVO Shift 4G getting Gingerbread

Remember how we first told you the EVO 4G's Gingerbread update killed Netflix and that a fix was on the way? Well, sho' 'nuff, looks like's it  could be available come June 20, according to the latest Sprint Playbook. In addition to fixing the Netflix issue, the update will be taking care of the phantom voicemail icon, plus adding a hearing aid compatibility issue.

Also, it looks like the EVO Shift 4G has an update on the way as well, and this one's none other than Android 2.3 Gingerbread, plus Swype, a new downloads app, and a media streaming fix. Good times. This one's tentatively scheduled for a manual update starting June 17 -- this Friday.
