For those of you on stock ROMs, your long wait for Gingerbread is finally over as Droid X Gingerbread OTA updates are being pushed out this week, some of you may already have gotten it.
What do you think of the update, does it make your phone faster with better camera app?
Gingerbread is supposedly 25-30% faster so you should be seeing some major improvements with speed of your phone.

Droid X actually has a pretty good battery life if you ask me but for those of you who want to extend your battery life, here’s some cheap fixes for you:
First, you can get additional OEM Motorola battery ($6.29 on Amazon). You can also get a standalone
It looks like Droid X will be dropping in prices very soon with CompUSA offering the phone for just $19.99.
There’s rumors that HTC Thunderbolt will be launching soon, which is like the Droid X but with support for Verizon’s new 4G LTE.
Certainly, prices on the Droid X will keep dropping but you will want to keep your eyes on the next Droid phone.
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.
According to BestBuy’s latest advertisement page, there’s a “4G” shown in the screenshot of the Droid X. Perhaps this is sign that Verizon’s 4G LTE is coming real soon? We don’t doubt that it’s coming but we didn’t think that soon.
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.
Motorola is reporting on their support forums that there’s no official upgrade path available for leaked 2.2 Droid X ROM.
No worries though, if you’ve saved your original 2.1 ROM, you can always restore it, upgrade to the official Droid X 2.2, and should be back in no time.
WARNING: Do NOT load the leaked 2.2 upgrade that has been floating around on the Internets. There is currently no upgrade path from that load to the official 2.2 load that will be released by early September. Unless you have some plan to flash your phone back to the current official load, you
Skyfire, another great browser for Android smartphones, is now available for Droid X and it’s official as of last Friday. (Just received word from Skyfire reps.)
To install, search for “skyfire” in Market.
I’ve been using Skyfire on my Archos 7 tablet and one of the cool features about the Skyfire browser is that it supports Flash. So if you haven’t got Android 2.2 Froyo on your Droid X yet, you can view flash videos using Skyfire.
Also for people who have multiple logins fo
Motorola has just updated their Android OS upgrade page (Yes, they “updated” the “update” page!) with the same news that official Froyo Android 2.2 will be coming to Droid X at the end of this summer.
Wait, summer is almost over, we’ve officially got only 7 more days of the-weirdest-summer-of-decade. (By the way here in San Francisco, summer has been lost all summer with too many cold days until yesterday when skies cleared up, something is UP with this weird weather, I swear!)
Anyways, this simply means that Droid X Froyo official update is goi
