It’s only two days since Verizon launched the Motorola DroidX but the device has already drawn too many concerns in the android world. First in line was the error at Verizon Stores resulting in device shipments that were way too earlier than its launch date. Then, many eye brows were raised when it was said that the baddest Droid device will brick itself if anything that belongs to rooting is tried on it. Well, that surely disappointed many adventurous android users who like to kind of have a hobby of becoming the super user of their beloved android smart device.
But we have some good news also. Verizon is preparing an Update for DroidX to bring a galore of new features / tweaks to the phone — which has gone ‘sold out’ on the very day of its launch. You can expect the update to roll out (lets say, gradually) on July 19. BTW, for identification purposes, the update is codenamed as Version 1.13.604.
Improvements:
+ Improved battery charging status indicator.
+ Smoother transition for camera and camcorder functions.
+ Redesign of weather widget icons.
+ Faster Exchange ActiveSync® email loading.
+ Streamlined organization of newly downloaded applications.
+ Organized favorite contacts by call count.
+ Updated Bluetooth® connection for enhanced video sharing experience.
+ Coordinated date and time across phone displays.
+ Cleaner looking status bar for GPS symbol.
+ Improved sync capabilities for 3G Mobile Hotspot.
+ Faster Visual Voice Mail loading.Enhancements:
+ Take advantage of the enhanced, preloaded My Verizon application.
+ Preloaded Amazon Kindle® application lets you read Kindle books on your Android™ phone, including thousands of free books.
Oh, those of you who had had a hell lot of expectation (Froyo, to be exactly) should hold a little bit, since you still need to wait for that big speed boost boasting update till August. But the improvements and enhancements we discussed above are great too. Let’s be fair to everything DroidX offers. No?
