  • Awesome news! I just got my droid and love it. Of course it needs the update badly but now I am super happy to know it will be available, finally. Thanks for your great job and keeping us informed.

  • there are some minor bugs like the revert to the top of text messages and the text message convo lists out of order by time…

  • Then it was early September and now it’s simply by the end of summer. Personally I’m not getting my hopes up until the update is actually downloaded on my phone.

  • 2.2 has been “close” and “coming soon” since I bought my DX on launch day. First it was with the blanket statement of “late summer”, then it was the first week in August. Then it was August 17th, then it was to be a X/Inc rollout at the end of August. Then it was early September and now it’s simply by the end of summer. Personally I’m not getting my hopes up until the update is actually downloaded on my phone.

  • Thanks for writing such appreciative blog. It’s an odd page though, and simply references the support page that would normally feature updates including PDFs.

  • I recently got Froyo, and it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. The only plus point was the flashlight, and that’s it.

  • I won't believe an update date until the morning after the date… until then it's just an up-yours-date…

  • I was under the impression that it was coming out very quickly after the phones release. a phone that had most people thinking it was being released with 2.2, only to be repeatedly delayed by 2.2, getting extremely frustrated.

  • I trust DL will find some way for us to get to the offical when it is released.. while the leaked 2.2 is 98% perfect, there are some minor bugs like the revert to the top of text messages and the text message convo lists out of order by time…

  • There are some minor bugs like the revert to the top of text messages and the text message convo lists out of order by time, but not by day.

  • There are some minor bugs like the revert to the top of text messages and the text message convo lists out of order by time, but not by day.. not bad, but would will be nice to have it fixed.

  • The Droid X uses a traditional TFT LCD; the iPhone 4 uses an IPS LCD, which is a variant on TFT. Thanks for the information.

  • I hope so! It's not like the Eris isn't awesome just because it has 1.5 but it would even more awesome with 2.1 (:

  • oh and i dont know if it is leaked 2.2 or in the standard 2.1 also.. but when I have facebook sync (through motoblur) on it MURDERS my battery, it is distinct, one day i'll turn it on and my battery will go from 100 to 30 from 7am-1pm turn it off like today I get 6am-7:48pm with tons of wifi and i'm at 60%

  • god I completely forgot about 2.2 for the X i've been running the leaked since day 1… I trust DL will find some way for us to get to the offical when it is released.. while the leaked 2.2 is 98% perfect, there are some minor bugs like the revert to the top of text messages and the text message convo lists out of order by time, but not by day.. not bad, but would will be nice to have it fixed

  • I talk to motorola, and they said that the update for the droid x is been sent out by the serial number and all the customer should have the update by the end of the month.

  • The real BS about all this is that this Droid X was so hyped and three weeks after its release the Droid2 was introduced with 2.2-the same OS we're still waiting for! Which leads me to suspect a problem with 2.2 or a company with it's collective head up its ass.

    • I recently got Froyo, and it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
      The only plus point was the flashlight, and that’s it.

  • All of you all are full of ****. Verizon just freakin update the **** thing. There better be some awsome updates for waiting so long!!!!!!!

  • Just got email instructions from Verizon for upgrading my Droid X to Froyo. Looks like the upgrade is now !

  • Enough already. EVERY EFFFING DAY you post 2.2 is coming, 2.2 is delayed, good news about 2.2. I will assume that is all anyones wants to talk about. If it is ever releaserd you site will need to shutdown because there will be nothing to discuss.

  • Don't fret DXers, recently got FroYo on my DI and let me tell you, it's not all it's cracked up to be. The only nice plus was the flashlight, and that's it.

  • My Droid X should be on it's way this time next week. It would sure be nice to update to 2.2 right out of the box!

  • Upset that the whole Droid family now has 2.2 except the X, I contacted a support rep yesterday who assured me it would be happening before Oct. 1st.

    He urged me not to risk any rooting methods given that the official release was about 2 weeks out or sooner.

  • Should we root the X while it is still on 2.1, then update to 2.2 when it comes out? Or will updating to 2.2 “unroot” the phone?

  • I found the page on droiddoes.com go to the dx then in the top left hand corner there is a button that says support click it will bring you to a page that redirect you if you press d_x_^ at the same time and will bring you to the froyo update Witch will be released in 2 days!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

  • My DX is scheduled for delivery tomorrow right when I get home from work (hopefully not before, nobody home to sign for it), and then this post…seems like perfect timing…*GIGITTY-GIGITTY*

    • for fedex all you have to do is leave a signed and dated note on your door, they'll leave it there.

  • does anyone know of a way that i can mess up my motorola droid but i have to make it seem like its having technical issues no hardware issues which means i cant chuck it off a cliff its cuz i need a replacement

        • Verizon has always accommodated me with such requests…
          I've had about 6 phone replacements in the last six or seven years…and a couple of them were simply because I didn't want the scratches to be there anymore.
          Just make anything up.
          “My camera often doesn't open, the slide-to-unlock doesn't work sometimes, and when I try to dial out by using my call history: the damn thing calls the wrong people…”

        • Don't bother messing up your phone for no reason. You can complain about connectivity issues, battery issues, and even smaller things that might not seem so blatent and they will help you. These are all things that may be open to interpretation by you and the VZW rep. If they feel you are truly unhappy, they will take care of you. Also, don't bother with the store, they never “hook” anyone up. Call in! One of my phones I sold, happened to be a guy that works at a VZW store. (apparently, I had a better deal than he could get! sad!) I have had 3 x D1's, then an Incredible and now I have a Droid X. I even had my wife's 3rd Eris replaced with an Incredible. All of these swaps were at their expense of VZW and not mine. All of these were due to “real” issues not within my control and I simply refused to run through the refurbished cycle. When you shell out 500+ dollars for a device, it should work exactly as advertised. If I bought a Honda and left the lot and the engine blew up, do you think it would be fair for the Honda dealer to replace it with a “used” certified like new Honda? BS! and that is why I will not accept a refurbished phone either. Your account standing is important too. I have 3 personal lines (aside from family lines) and have been with VZW for years now. (remembering my first color screened star tac, 5 colors!!! woo hoo!) anyway, they will work pretty hard to not have me leave. Especially when stay month to month on most of my lines.

      • u kno any other ways of faking a technical difficultiy with out it looking intential? the only thing i can hope for is a messed up refurb droid i hope theres is something wrong with it

    • The power button on my D1 broke last week and I was so excited because I thought I'd get a D2 as a replacement. When I took it to the Verizon store they gave me no argument about needing a replacement, but alas the refurbished D1s are back in stock so that's what I got. Anyway, after today it's going to be my back-up phone, as my new DX should be in my mailbox when I get home this evening.

  • As soon as the word drops I'm going to see if the push through system update works as stated for us blur users. The sooner they drop it and stop tinkering around the better.

  • I received a text from Verizon today that had a link to a page like that for my droid, to bad I've had froyo since it's June. They really drag their feet on ota

  • I just checked the “check for system updates” on my droid x. It said “check for updates is not available at this time try again later” it has never said that before for me always said does not require an update til today, maybe they are working in the ota system for it! Anybody else finding this to be a exciting as I am!?

    • Yeah, normally it gives you a “update not needed message” quickly but not this time. I was listening for the drum roll……… Then it gives me the same message as you, “check for updates not available at this time”. Thought I was gonna be the bringer of good news. Maybe next time.

  • The PDF you are looking at is the old one from the last update, the one that was not too much after the launch. Verizon has not updated that page yet. This does give us X owners a glimmer of hope though!

    • The page I took a screen shot of above is for 2.2 and is brand new. The PDF at the support page is still the old one though.

      • Thanks, I was replying to Bart but clarification is always good! Keep up the good work Kellex! You always seem to keep us informed ahead of everyone else!

  • I looked at the PDF and looked a bit closer. The update that they have in the PDF is Version.1.13.604.MB810.Verizon.en.US / BP_C_01.09.04P. It's 2.1! WTF I think its a spoof email!

  • First let me begin by saying i love my droid x…a lot, and i will be rooted soonafter 2.2 is out and rooted

    BUT, this taking entirely to long, i was under the impression that it was coming out very quickly after the phones release. a phone that had most people thinking it was being released with 2.2, only to be repeatedly delayed by 2.2, getting extremely frustrated. just give it to me already.

    P.S, why does our phones have tft screen and not super amoled…jw ya know?

    • LCD is still better than SAMOLED is some aspects. It's sharper because of no PenTile arrangement, it's easier to use it in the sun, it's brighter (but not more vibrant in colors), and it uses less battery.

      What I would have liked is a display with a higher resolution and/or better viewing angles. The viewing angles on the SLCDs on HTC's phones are pretty good, close to AMOLED.

        • It’s not always about what kind of tech it is, but what you can do with it. There are some limitations with TFT, but it’s pretty mature tech. The Droid X uses a traditional TFT LCD; the iPhone 4 uses an IPS LCD, which is a variant on TFT. DisplayMate did some tests and found the Droid X’s LCD to be only slightly behind the iPhone 4’s LCD in brightness and contrast, but the Droid X’s colors were much more accurate. Only thing which the DX is not nearly as good at is viewing angles which is a limitation of the display technology.

    • HTC has been the worst company at updates in the history of updates. They just semi-redeemed themselves in the last 2 months.

  • While I love me some rumors and leaks, I won't believe an update date until the morning after the date… until then it's just an up-yours-date…

  • Motorola is starting to remind me of that fine chick who use to smile at you and finally allowed you to take her out, talked to you about her problems as you waited and waited to finally get that kiss and hopefully them drawls, but as it turned out it was just a TEASE 🙁 Moto stop playing with my heart and give my phone a Froyo kiss…lol

  • i just hope this means it is really coming soon. I reverted back to 2.1 from the 1st leaked version of 2.2 so i could get the official release. Im really missing having 2.2
