Droid 2 Global Update..?

[Setarcos]

The D2G GB soak test started 00:00 on 9/1 corresponding with the official GB OTA update for the D2. If we are lucky the D2G GB OTA update may start as early as Saturday morning or more likely early next week.

This article might answer some of your questions: http://www.wirelessandmobilenews.com/2011/06/droid-2-update-news-droid-2-global-android-23-gingerbre...

I can tell you that Gingerbread is a major upgrade, not update, from Froyo, IMHO. I love it so far and it is 3x faster than it was before. I know it sucks that current Global users have to wait...but it is worth it!

The article you posted is old, I only say this because of the upgrade the speak of isn't the new 607 so must be an old article from the June confusion. Thought I would point that out to not cause anymore confusion.

I just got the Gingerbread update four hours ago. Everything is running smooth.

Wait, you have a D2G and you got the gingerbread update?

Because I just went on the Verizon website and it still said coming soon, and I went on my phone and checked for system updates at it said that there were none...

I'm very confused.. Maybe its where you live?

Verizon is doing a limited soak test of a few devices by the look of it. but there seem to be a few bugs hitting the droid 2. I would bet if they are rolling out the new system we could probably expect it to most of the d2g community by the end of the month or by the begining of next month. but i have seen no confirmations yet.

I really wish that verizon as a multi billion dollar company might actually be able to set a deadline and hold it to itself. Verizon all it takes is to notify all the d3g phone numbers with a text of any information regarding it. Thanks the consumer who as spent the money to stay with you for the last 10 years, but maybe not after the next year.

sorry I know this is in the wrong post, but i don't feel like doing the work to find the right one.

I wasn't even supposed to be in the soak test. Who knows why I got it earlier than everyone else. All I know is there's a few hiccups to the Gingerbread update, like a lot of lag, random screen timeouts, and the touchscreen isn't always responsive.

Hello Miss_KissMyCake

Yes, the Droid 2 Global now has Gingerbread. It is being pushed out in phases to people in order to NOT freeze up the system update process!!!!

Do you know how long this update will take to hit everyone?

TamaraH_VZW,

That same "coming soon" message has been up there for weeks now, since VZW pulled the GB update with the MS Exchange problems.

When they rolled it out in early September, GB OTA wasn't pushed to my phone, but I could check for updates and get it (I've since had to replace my D2G). Would that happen this time too?
