Verizon's popular Droid X will finally be getting its update to Android 2.2 (Froyo) starting Wedsesday, according to multiple reports. Users will begin getting system update notifications around noon EST tomorrow. This update will bring the Droid X up to par with the Droid 2, which launched a few weeks ago with Android 2.2 out of the box.
There is one unique benefit of this update. Users will be able to manually update legitimately. By going to Settings > About > System Updates, the phone will actually download the update after it has gone live tomorrow. On other Android phones, this just checks to see if a handset has been provisioned for the push update.
Users can expect a number of improvements to the phone's software including support for Adobe Flash 10.1, a faster JavaScript engine in the browser, and better Android Market updates. Although, some new Verizon branded crapware , like VZ Navigator, might be making an appearance as well. Any Droid X users out there? Is this an exciting update, or are you over it?

All I can say is, I wish my Galaxy S (T-Mobile Vibrant) could get it tomorrow. I heard that I get it by the end of the month, but that's almost here...I'm getting nervous.

I hear ya, I'm itching to get some Froyo on my Vibrant. It's already super fast with the lag fix so I want to see what Froyo can do. Heck, I'd be happy if Samsung released an update for the Media Hub and GPS fix, like they've done to every other Galaxy S.

I wish Sony would hurry up and do this to the SEX10, however, we are only going to be getting ANDROID 2.1 sometime by the end of the year, at this rate we probably won't see Froyo (2.2) until December of 2011 and 3.0 by sometime in 2012.

Nope, I'll lose the warranty. Plus, I have no idea how to do that.

Running the leaked 2.2 with FlyX over Tranquility, SenseX theme, and the new Builds.Prop. No Blur/bloatware, and it screams! Short to say I'm good for now.
