[Update: Reportedly Rolling Out Now] Droid X2 Gingerbread Update Right Around The Corner, According To VZW Support Site

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Droid X2, Gingerbread 2.3, News

Update: If @VZWSupport is to be believed (and after yesterday's Galaxy S II fiasco, I have my doubts), then the update should be rolling out beginning today, reaching all DX2 owners by the end of the week.

Has anyone received the update yet? Drop us a line in the comments when (if) it hits your device!

---

When the Droid X2 first hit the street, most would-be owners were extremely disappointed when they found out that it didn't ship with Gingerbread. For some, this was a deal-breaker, but others stuck it out and bought the device anyway, hoping for an OTA update soon after.

Motorola Droid X2 Gets 2nd-Init Support, Opens The Gate For Custom ROMs

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Droid X2, News

The technology that allowed custom ROMs like CyanogenMod on the Droid X/2 and Atrix - 2nd-Init - has now been ported to the Droid X2 by XDA forum member edgan. According to the source thread, it was a direct port from the Atrix, as the code was not modified whatsoever, only re-compiled.

Before I go any further, let's get one important piece of information out of the way: this does not unlock the bootloader or allow custom kernels; it simply brings full custom ROM support.

This is still in very early stages of development, so it's recommended that the average Joe leave it be until devs can spend a little more time with it.

Why Wait? You Can Get The DROID X2 Right Now At Best Buy Stores For $199

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Droid X2, News, Verizon Wireless

If you've been waiting in anticipation to make the Droid X2 your next Android purchase, but just can't convince yourself to wait a few days, then we have good news. You can score VZW's first dual-core phone in-store at Best Buy right now. We called a Best Buy to confirm - and the X2 is a go.

It will set you back $199 with a two-year agreement (or upgrade), but what's a little bit of extra money in exchange for instant gratification? I know we just told you the official specs yesterday, but it would be both cruel and unusual of me to leave out that bit of vital information...

Droid X2 Joins The LG Revolution and Sony Xperia PLAY For A May 26 Launch - Sans Gingerbread

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Droid X2, News, Verizon Wireless

Official word just came out of VZW's camp that the Droid X2 will indeed be hitting the streets on the previously rumored launch date of May 26. The arrival of the X2 puts the total number of new VZW phones to hit on that same day at three (what's up with phones dropping in threes these days?) alongside the LG Revolution and Sony Xperia PLAY, so anyone looking to pick up a new handset will have somewhat of a choice to make.
