Motorola DROID X2 update now rolling out to owners

Motorola hinted that a new update for the Motorola DROID X2 was incoming, and today looks to be the big day. The new software is now being pushed out over the air to all owners out there. The software build is number 1.3.380, and as you can imagine, there’s plenty of bug fixes and other enhancements to dig into.

As we heard before, the update is meant to stop the phone from rebooting while you’re using the keyboard (that’s good news, right?), and the device will reportedly stop locking up randomly throughout the day. As we said above, the update is being pushed out by Motorola right now, and your phone should give you a notification when the time is right. However, if you’re tired of waiting, just head into Settings –> About phone –> System updates. That should call in the update for you when you want it.

Here’s the list:

My experience with Verizon OTA updates (at least from the DROID1) was even if you go through the menu and check for an update, it will only be available for your phone once Verizon has unlocked your phone (presumably via ESN or other cell network unique identifier) in the block of unlocked phones for the day. With the last update for the DROID1, I didn't get mine until a couple days after my wife got hers, and we had purchased our DROID1's together... As with anything, patience is a virtue.

My update was available as soon as I awoke this morning! I was pretty stoked!! I have been using my multi-touch keyboard again without it locking up!! Yay!!! Hopefully this fixes the hiccups that were annoying. Because I love this phone!
