Droid X Update 2.3.340 (Not Gingerbread)

I have some many questions that I do not know where to start. I am extremely confused about this new update. Does anyone know if this will fix the outlook issue with Hotmail? Or will fix most of the Froyo issues? I am getting a little bit frustrate with the fact that (Us) the consumer is not getting any type of information from Verizon about this update. I called Verizon today about the roll out and the CSR told me that he was not aware about this update. “Unbelievable---” “That’s Verizon with a reliable information team”. Can some provide any type of schedule for this roll out? I know that we have a lot smart people in this forum and one of you may have this information. I have 6 people in my family with Droid X and I just wanted to make them aware that a new update will be released, when ????. In the last update (Froyo), we had some issues in which I spent many hours fixing them and I do not to see myself running into the same situation again.

Thank you for your help.

messages can’t be sent.

I have been searching for the an answer to this as well. I have been checking my phone all day, but it hasn't popped up yet. VZW's site says its out, but who knows where its been pushed to so far or when it will be in my area. Be sure to post if you find a schedule.

It doesent go by 'area', it goes by date of purchase.
 
Not worth it to me. I'll wait a few weeks after release before jumping on this.
 
Got it, 230 am, eastern time in nj. Wasn't available at midnight or a bit after. Now what?

Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums App
 
Has anyone performed the update on a rooted/rom'd phone? And what is the outcome?
 
Well I guess that's easier than SBF'ing :p


I guess I'll just wait till the .340 roms start rolling out then restore my stock rooted nandroid and accept the update
