The wait if finally over folks for the official Froyo Android 2.2 update on the Droid X. They should be rolling out starting early as tomorrow. I know, it’s been a helluva long wait but hey, it’s here so you will have to go get some champagne to celebrate.
Droid Life reports that there’s some hidden Droid X page at DroidDoes.com pointing out that Froyo might finally be here afterall. We’ve had numerous rumors and updates and hopefully this is the last one.

Of course, I am sure it’s most likely an error by the graphic designer at BestBuy, who probably shopped it off an Evo 4G or Epic 4G. It’s a good mistake though, at least we can laugh about it.

One of our readers asked me today if it’s possible to get a new Droid 2 or Droid Incredible and switch it back and forth from his Droid X.
Let me tell you that it IS possible even though Verizon doesn’t use SIM cards.
Verizon is based on CDMA, meaning it uses ESN numbers, which you can switch to another phone without signing up for a new 2 year contract online at VerizonWireless.com.
However, if you haven’t gotten your Droid X rebate YET, DON’T SWITCH as you will lose your rebate. Part of the rebate conditions are that your ESN number on the Dro
