Default Gingerbread Spotted on X2 from Motorola

Take this with a grain of salt, and its not really shocking or anything.. but Matt from Motorola on the Owners forum yesterday (at least i believe for the first time) came out and publicly stated that he has seen an X2 with Gingerbread on it..

It's at least the first glimmer of Ginger"Hope" that i have read or seen... Not that im expecting GB to make this the greatest thing since sliced bread, but hey some of us need a morale boost here.

Got to the page and saw the info. Seeing Matt reminded me to update my profile for that site to include X2. I don't know if we're getting hope or hype. Guess that just like the original DX, we'll have to go through this waiting game crap with DX2. If I had to guess, we're not gonna see a damn thing before August. (just experience talking)

I have a friend with a Droid X 1 and they just downloaded Ginger... if the X1 has Ginger shouldn't the X2 also have it?

You should've seen the controversy with 2.2 on the fascinate. This is nothing compared to that at all.

To be honest, I really don't think that this really means anything. The DROID X2 was originally supposed to be released with Gingerbread. As a Motorola employee moderating the X2 forums, he has a lot insider info, and most likely had something to do with the development. Including the times they had the X2 running a rough version of GB.

With the push to get the X2 out and the overall problems with dual core, they unfortunately backed to Froyo.

Just my .02, I had the Droid X with Rubix and ****ing loved it. Best phone I've ever had, I could go 2 days on one charge and I'm a power user. Well, recently I got a replacement X via Verizon warranty replacement (due to a bad charging port) and it came with 2.3 GB. I cannot say enough, how much I effing hate Moto's stock roms. GB was crashing left and right on me and the worst part was I had to do a SBF back to 2.2 just to be able to re-root and restore my backup. Well, it turned out the refurb Verizon sent me had a bad charging port also and they opted to upgrade me to the X2 for free before my upgrade was available. The X2 is ****ing great. I really don't care for 2.3GB yet because of the sour taste it left from my DX1. I'm still not crazy about Moto's stock ROMs but at least 2.2 only reboots on me like once or twice a day compared to like 5 times a day with stock 2.3 on DX1. At this point I'm just waiting on the custom ROMS like everyone else, but the dual core and upped display are definitely worth it. Also with the extra processing power comes better battery life since the cores aren't spending as much time in their upper voltage ranges. I can't wait to see more custom work available on this beast!
I <3 my Droid X2!

Running: CM7 / Eclipse
