I am looking to buy a DROID X and just heard about the Android 2.2 platform update for it.  My question is can this platform be added to any DROID X phone that already exists?  or do I have to wait for a whole new version of the DROID X to have the 2.2 added to it?

 

Thanks in advance.

When 2.2 update is released you will receive a notification on your phone telling you an update is available. You can choose either "update now" or "update later". You can't get 2.2 now because it is not available yet

When 2.2. is about to be released I am sure there will be an announcement here on the forums (probably by Mark)

Apart from the myriad of upgrades?

 

Flash (full on frontal baby).

JIT compiler = 2-5x increase on cpu heavy coding. Faster apps, launching, everything

V8 engine - 2x javascript increase. Faster web page loading.

 

Not to mention the random little changes that overall are making Android pick up to the fluidity  and pristine that IOS4 currently has.

Do you know if 2.2. will be supported on the Droid Eris?  I'm at 2.1 and using the Google Music beta, but to use the app on my phone, I need Android 2.2. or higher...

 

Thanks...

Probally be better off asking this question on Droid Eris area or other devices because this is a Droid X post as well as a old post...

This is the Droid X by Motorola forum. The Droid Eris was manufactured by HTC. Unfortunately the Droid Eris will never get an official update to FroYo (Android 2.2). Most likely the last update that phone was ever get released was the March 2011 maintenance release.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
