According to Motorola’s support forums, the mobile handset maker will upgrade its highly-popular Droid X smartphone to the Google Android 2.2 ‘Froyo’ operating system in early September.
The revelation about the Android 2.2 ‘Froyo’ coming to the Droid X handsets came in an August 4 note by a Motorola Forums Manager named Matt, who - while responding to concerns about the lack of e-mail notifications for the Droid X’s Microsoft Exchange 2003 users – said: “A fix for this will be included in the upgrade to Android 2.2 scheduled for deployment by early September.”
Matt apparently is well-informed about Motorola’s upgrade schedule – he is the same Motorola employee who earlier promised that the company’s original Motorola Droid would get the Android 2.2 upgrade in the August 2 week; and the promise was fulfilled, though without WiFi hotspot and data tethering.
Moreover, the September timeline, revealed by Matt, is in line with Verizon and Motorola’s June promise that the Droid X will get the Android 2.2 upgrade – which boasts notable improvements like a speedier browser, greater enterprise capabilities, and a cloud-to-device messaging API for developers - in late summer.
Already, the Android 2.2 ‘Froyo’ version hit the Google Nexus One handset two months back; and is being rolled out to the users of the original Droid as well as Sprint’s HTC Evo 4G.
