Ahhhh, the web is alive with the sound of Froyo. At least it is if you’re a Droid X owner. The long awaited updated is almost here and we’ve received confirmation that tomorrow, Wednesday the 22nd, is the big day.

If you still don’t believe us, and quite frankly we can’t say we blame you for as long as it’s taken, just do a search on the internets and you’ll see post after post after post detailing Verizon’s acknowledgement that Droid X is getting Froyo starting tomorrow.


Droid X Getting Android 2.2?

Has the long awaited Froyo update finally arrived for Motorola Droid X owners? The on again off again rumor mill has been saying so for going on three months now, but still nothing. Motorola and Verizon said we could expect the upgrade by the end of summer, which is now only days away.

The page on droiddoes.com looks like a formal announcement for the Droid X release of Froyo. Unlike other information that appears to have been leaked, this page is open to the public and contains a link to another informational page within the Verizon owned Droid Does site.


Motorola Droid X to Get Froyo in September

Motorola has sent word that the new Droid X at Verizon is scheduled to get Android 2.2 (Froyo) in early September of 2010.

The Droid X is Motorola’s most recently launched super phone.  It was released at Verizon on July 15th.  The consensus is that this is among the most powerful if not the most powerful phone on the market right now.  It has a 1GHz processor, a 4.3” high resolution display, 8GB of built in memory and is preloaded with a 16GB MicroSD card, expandable to 32GB for a total of 40GB of memory.  It currently comes equipped with Android 2.1 (Éclair), which while snappy in its own right, is significantly slower than Froyo.


Some Receive the Droid X Ahead of Scheduled Launch

Reportedly, a couple of hundred Droid X phones have ended up in the hands of some lucky folks almost a week ahead of schedule.  The only problem was that these fortunate individuals were unable to activate their phones because Verizon wasn’t ready.

The new Motorola Droid X, Verizon’s answer to Sprint’s EVO 4G, is scheduled to launch on the 15th of July.  We’re not quite sure how the handsets got out to people early, but Verizon was evidently not prepared for the early release either.  On Friday, however, they were able to fix the activation issue and now all of the early release phones can be activated.
