Download Samsung Kies and check if a official version of Ginger Bread is out. If not you might have to root it :wink:

@OP, Galaxy 3 XDA have custom GB roms. try any of those. G3 didn't receive any official GB update.

Well, I used to own a Galaxy 3 in which I had installed CM7 Alpa 7. It was quite stable except the known issues mentioned. As far as I can recollect, we cannot make calls using bluetooth headsets and GPS used to take a long time to get a fix.

I suggest to give it a try. You can any time roll back to a stock ROM using ODIN.
