Motorola Droid X Gingerbread Update Approved by Verizon?

Adam Mills —  05/06/2011

According to Motorola guru P3Droid, Verizon has signed off on the Motorola Droid X Android 2.3 Gingerbread update which means the update could start officially rolling out in just a few days.

This news comes on the heels of a rumor that stated that the Droid X Gingerbread update would be rolling out on May 13th. If Verizon did approve the software, and today was supposedly the day it was going to do so, the 13th could very well be the day that Droid X owners seen the update hit their devices.

This should certainly be welcomed news from Droid X owners who have been looking forward to this update ever since Froyo finished rolling out back in September of last year.

It’s possible that this will be the last major update for the Motorola Droid X as its successor, the Motorola Droid X2, appears to be right around the corner with a launch rumored to be taking place at some point in the near future, possibly as soon as this month.

So, now that it has apparently been approved, be on the lookout for Android 2.3 Droid X owners.

  5.  Hi…
    This is a super interesting. I wish to have one like this.

  6. One point that may go against this new phone is that although it runs
    the very latest Android 2.3.5 operating system known as Gingerbread it
    will be up against competition from the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus which
    will be running the Android 4.0 system known as Ice Cream Sandwich,
    which could hurt sales.

  7. As you might expect from an update that brings with it a new Android
    version and a new MotoBlur on top of that, the install file is a
    rather large 111.8 MB. You can check for it on your handset by
    navigating through your settings menu to “About Phone”, then “System
    updates.”

  8. Along with the 2.3 Gingerbread update users should receive the new Moto
    Blur custom UI changes, some of which are actually a nice touch and
    better than what we’ve seen in the past from Motorola.
