Android 2.2 for the Droid X Coming Tomorrow? This PDF from Verizon says “Perhaps”
I’m sure you’ve heard the rumor regarding the upgrade to Android 2.2 for Verizon’s Motorola Droid X coming on September 22nd (2.2 on 22, if you want to be cute), and you may have passed your own judgment on its believability. It looks like the 22nd might be the date after all, though, as it’s still technically qualified as end of summer and because the PDF file dedicated to the upgrade to Android 2.2 for the device has just made its way online courtesy of Verizon themselves. Let’s take a look inside, shall we?

This is versioned “Version.2.3.15.MB810.Verizon.en.US/BP _ C _ 01.09.07P”, though the document doesn’t give us a specific date to expect it (only “today”, which is useless given we have no hard evidence to go by to determine relativity.) I can feel it, folks. Just keep on holding on!
Take a look inside the PDF file for yourself for the full (and better organized) text. [Thanks, Mason!]
