For those Motorola Droid X users who have waited patiently for the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update, there could finally be light at the end of the tunnel.
Over the recent months there have been a few leaked versions of the Android 2.3 Gingerbread for the Droid X, see our articles on a couple of these leaks – dated March 28, video of Droid X running Gingerbread and dated April 15, guide video on how to download Gingerbread without rooting.
Surely we must be very close to an official update, well according to an article by the guys at Droid-Life, we could see an official update on May 13. What they have been told is the latest build (not 4.5.591 – something newer) has been finalized by Motorola and it is expected that Verizon will sign it off by the May 6, with the possibility of it then being made available for next Friday.
Therefore, if this latest rumour turns out to be true, then Friday could be the start of the rollout test phase, with around May 16 being the date for the mass load to hit users. Please note that as this is a rumour, there is no certainty that it will happen, so for now we just have to keep our fingers crossed.
Also, a point to note is that at least 3 builds from Motorola have already been rejected by Verizon, so even if there is a build, there is no guarantees that it will be passed. If you are a frustrated Motorola Droid X owner, who wants to see Gingerbread running on their device, please let us know your thoughts on the rumours and speculations regarding this long awaited update.
