DX2 is a pile of sh*t anyway. The only thing that would improve that piece of junk is a good sturdy hit with a sledgehammer.

This response from Motorola is just your typical PR bullshit any corporation spews on it’s customers while trying to smooth over the negative reactions over their unwillingness to focus a development team to make a product better. The bottom line always comes before the customer especially when dealing with dated products. The Money has already been milked for all it’s worth and they leave us hanging out to dry. My Droid X2 with stock firmware is a total piece of shit (well, it works fine until I load a bunch of apps from the market then everything quickly goes south). The fact of the matter is that ICS WOULD improve the Droid X2 immensely. Gingerbread would also improve it immensely if they bothered to assign a development team to fix the god damn bugs. Google is basically taking Linux down the same path Windows has taken, a buggy mess for well over a decade. My next phone will not likely be Android based. This situation is the same with EVERY generation, we customers are always left with a product that has serious software issues that are easily corrected but no company dedicates the resources to do so. They move on to the next product and the cycle repeats. And we’re the victims with our two year contracts.

Exactly. My Touchpad has 512 and CM9 blazes compared to what it did with CM7. This is a bullshit excuse.

I’m not sure about the rest of you on here, but I’m more than a little upset by this! What happened with their agreement to update phones for 18 months after release? I would like my money back, or exchange. My phone has been as buggy as a garbage dump, and often less useful than one! I haven’t had many days that haven’t wanted to spike this Droid X2 off the ground! It still locks up, now only a few times a week (an improvement over a few times per day before an update). This is total garbage! They put out a phone that was basically forgotten about less than a month after they released it. Sure they did put out a couple bug fixes and one update, but bug fixes are fixing a faulty product that they sold as working! They didn’t even make it compatable with newer accessories that have the same port configuration, aka lapdock. This is just short of stealing in my book. I want to like android, but my experience with this phone has made me wander if I should have bought an Iphone! MOTO, get your act together!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, not updating phones to the current Android OS is “bringing down America”. Root your phone and do it yourself, hippie

I’m actually a big stock fan, all of my Androids are stock. And in the case of my Droid 3, I don’t actually have a choice, since it’s a corporate asset.

That doesn’t help the customer who purchased the Droid 3 and Droid X2, since they’re not eligible for upgrades yet. And “promises” by carriers and manufactures really mean nothing at this point.

Motorola won’t update these good devices because they want you to buy their newer devices, corporate greed bringing down america. No money in updating older devices.

All skins are resource hogs to some degree, and if I didn’t have blur id just be downloading extra widgets and programs to make up for what GB doesn’t have built in and using up those resources anyway…and what’s the deal with and those emotions?

Even China told Google to keep Android open and free. That means they’re gonna have to chin-check Motorola. And possibly Verizon too. {{-_-}}

Anyway, let’s just hope things get better under Google’s ownership. {{-_-}}
