Gingerbread for Droid X

dcas2001

When will Gingerbread be sent OTA??? I keep hearing that it started on May 27, and from there the release date has been pushed back. Contacted Verizon Tech and they said that June first will be the Date that Gingerbread will be released on a large scale..... they continued to say that the software update is out but they are releasing the update in "groups"..

Is there anyone out there with the software update????

You answered your own question in your first post.......

No official date, other than "Q2-Q3 timeframe". Anything else is speculation. No one here, at Verizon, or anywhere can give you a date. Period.

You might be wrong:

See the DROID X by Motorola support website for details on the enhancement, improvement, and download instructions.

I'd bet that date is wrong. Watch.

Was on the way to bed and decided to try OTA and download just started at 12:31 am. Now I just hope the poster (etalia) in the Motorola forum is not correct.

droidsw

Hope you like it.

Wildman covered it best with his opinions of the leak that he has been running.......

hallcp1019

What do you see bad about the update?

Zekrom

It says I'm up todate date, but I'm running 4.5.588

droidsw

Unless I am misunderstanding the instructions, no one that participated in the soak is allowed to comment. Now that everyone has it, or has it available, I was saying that wildman's review of gb was spot-on.

Cody21

the SOAK group was given approval today to begin discussing and assisting others since the general OTA release started as well.

droidsw

I just read that cody21, thanks. Had me wondering there.....

gerio

Gee, so far, GB on my girlfriend's X kinda looks like...

Well, a little like my X2. Especially with the icons across the bottom.

More exploring to be done...
(PS the updates went flawlessly, but there's not much on her phone)
