MOTOROLA CONFIRMS GINGERBREAD UPDATE FOR MOST DROID SMARTPHONES

If you own a Droid X, Droid 2 (or Droid 2 Global,) or Droid Pro, Motorola has good news for you. Android 2.3 “Gingerbread” will make its way to your device, and according to Motorola support, you should get it before the end of the summer. Additionally, the Gingerbread update will include updated support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, something that corporate Droid owners have been waiting for.

The Droid X will go first, according to Motorola, and should get an over-the-air update before the end of June. The Droid Pro, Droid 2, and Droid 2 Global will all get their updates before the end of the Q3 2011, meaning before the end of September, as long as Verizon approves and pushes the update to users. Granted, users who have rooted their devices likely already have Gingerbread ROMs. The Droid X, however, has been notoriously difficult to root, so the upgrade is good news for Droid X owners.
