Motorola DROID X Verizon

All of you Motorola DROID X owners out there may want to check your handset for a new update, as it looks like some new software is now rolling out to the DX that ought to make your weekend just a little bit better. We first got wind of this 15.2MB update one week ago, and owners of the original X will be glad to know that it brings a bevy of bug fixes to the device. You can find the full changelog for the 4.5.621 upgrade down below.

The DROID X isn't exactly the freshest handset to be rolled out by the folks at Motorola and Verizon, but it's good to see the two companies continue to show the 4.3-incher some love, especially considering just how large this latest update is.

Once you get it up and running, why not celebrate by heading on down to the comments section below and telling us how it's working for you? We're all ears.
