Just last week we said that the soak test for an approaching “Motorola DROID 3 update” was about to start up, but at the time there was not sure on what kinds of fixes the new program would contain. That modifications today, though, as Verizon has posted information about the update on the DROID 3 support web page.
The largest benefit of the update is the addition of “Google Talk” with Video support, but numerous other bug fixes and enhancements come bundled in the 57.6MB file.
The update, which brings the Droid 3′s build number to 5.6.890, must start reaching members of Motorola Feedback Network soak test this weekend. With history as any indication, all users should be seeing it by the end of next week.

Simply a hair over a week after we learned that the Motorola Droid X2 was about to take part in a saturate test that many thought was with regard to the device’s Android 2.3 update, Verizon has published all of the information on the new application in handy PDF form on its website. The update, that is build number 1.3.232 and weighs in at 101MB, includes goodies like the newest version of MotoBlur Motorola’s Applications Platform like the one found one the DROID 3, improvements in the screen display, and improved stability to reduce device resets. You can find the full list of improvements below.
All in all it sounds like a pretty worthwhile update, no? Unfortunately, we haven’t heard any reports of anyone actually receiving the update just yet. When Verizon posted the support PDF for the DROID Incredible 2′s Gingerbread update earlier this month, the new software didn’t actually start rolling out until a few days later, so we might have to wait just a tad longer before the DROID X2′s Android 2.3 update actually begins hitting users’ handsets. If any of you DX2 owners feel like trying to manually pull the update down, though, head into your Settings menu, hit About phone, then go into System updates and hit Download. Just be sure to come back and let us know if you’re able to yank some Android Gingerbread from the sky, okay?
One of the largest gripes from clients who purchase cell phones directly from a U.S. company (instead of unlocked) is that carriers aren’t always so quick to push out Android updates. Good example — the unlocked Nexus One received its Froyo updates a long time before any other phone, and the Nexus S has seen updates faster as well.
AT&T is answering customer demands, though: the carrier just announced that upgrades to Android Gingerbread are planned for all post-paid Android mobile phones already introduced in 2011. This means that the Motorola Atrix 4G will get the update starting today, and HTC Inspire 4G owners will see it in the coming weeks.
The Motorola Atrix 4G update allows users the ability to download apps from third-party stores, and if you have a “Samsung Captivate”, you can rest assured that your phone will get the update too. Now will rival carriers take notice and get caught up?
Beginning today and continuing over the next few weeks, Motorola ATRIX 4G users will be prompted to install the update. To download the update, users must be connected via Wi-Fi. In August, HTC Inspire 4G users will be notified that the update is available and can be downloaded when connected to a Wi-Fi network. AT&T smartphone users can access at any one of the company’s more than 26,000 Wi-Fi hotspots at no cost.
The AT&T smartphones planned for a Gingerbread update are:
HTC Inspire™ 4G
LG Phoenix™
Motorola ATRIX™ 4G
Pantech Crossover™
Samsung Captivate™ 4G
Samsung Infuse™ 4GAndroid 2.3 (Gingerbread)
Gingerbread delivers a number of improvements, such as user interface refinements, refined copy/paste functionality and speed enhancements. The upgrade offers improved power management that offers a more active role in managing applications in addition to an improved on-screen keyboard with multi-touch support that makes typing faster and more accurate
Verizon’s Motorola Droid X2 only has been readily available for about a couple of months, however it has seen many price tag cuts and super deals in this time. The lowest priced we’ve seen it so far was $99.99 at Wirefly. That’s half the cost that Verizon requests the device, so still a good deal, right?
Wrong. Amazon now has a much better deal for those of you interested in the Motorola Droid X2. Now you can get a Droid X2 from Amazon for a measly $59.99 and save $140 compared to Verizon’s costs and even a cool $40 a lot more than you would at Wirefly.
A new 2-year contract signing is required for this cost, obviously. If you’re upgrading, the purchase price is $119.99. If you don’t want to sign a new contract, you could just buy the Droid X2 outright for $529.99. If you’re interested, visit here at Amazon and place an order.
The Motorola Droid X2 has a 4.3-inch 960×540 touchscreen display, a dual-core 1 GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 cpu, an 8 MP autofocus camera with dual-LED flash and 720p HD video recording, 512 MB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage, microSD support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS, and a 1540 mAh battery.
Motorola Atrix 4G proprietors can be really very happy to hear that their official Android 2.3 Gingerbread update is currently available for download on their computers.
This update brings Gingerbread 2.3.4 to Atrix 4G owners through Motorola’s web page. The update brings all of the awesome features of Gingerbread to your device such as improved web browsing, HD Video Playback, and other miscellaneous improvements. The largest improvement to the device is the ability to sideload applications, thanks to AT&T’s new policy to allow all devices to sideload.
The update comes in at 161 MBs. I highly recommend downloading this update thanks to all of the new features including the ability to sideload apps. It was about time, thanks Motorola and AT&T.
