Just thought I'd share -

DROID X by Motorola for Verizon Wireless - Sears Cellular Store

Wow. Someone wants to get rid of old stock.

The DX with gingerbread is a POS. The update makes the phone lock up, reboot and lose all connectivity until reboot. Expect reboots twice a day.

Not here... While I have had some issues since the GB update, nothing like that. Something must be wrong with your phone. Perhaps a user-installed app that isn't fully compatible with Gingerbread?

Check the GB thread. There are many people having the same problem. Even factory reset and replacement phones do not fix it. Verizon has put a halt to Gingerbread updates from Moto because of the issue.

All I can really say is from personal experience. I know there are some issues with the update on VZW phones and that VZW is supposedly holding back on updates, but still... I am not having that problem with my Droid X updated to Gingerbread.

I've had two semi-serious issues with the update, one was fixed thanks to these forums (lost email account settings) and the other a viable work-around was suggested in these forums (Visual Voicemail issues).

I have not seen phone freezes lockups or reboots.

My DX with GB is fine too. Keep in mind on forums and the internet, you will always hear about the bad and not so much about the good.

Cheers

But if you add a phone to your account now wouldnt that phone that you add be on the tier data plan and not on the "unlimited one" as your other phones would be on ? As any new accounts would now be too.
Since the 7/7/2011 date has now passed.

Also no problems with GB X. Actually seems to run cleaner and better battery life but that can be subjective.

So what is he supposed to do, not get a new smartphone?

Also, he didn't say whether or not his wife is currently using a smartphone data plan or not. It could be an upgrade from a Crapberry or a WinMob for all we know, which would qualify to keep her current unlimited plan.

Also, I doubt she would use more than 2GB of data anyway. I use around 1-1.5 and I don't think my wife has ever cracked 400 or 500 mb.

Please don't make blanket statements. None of that has happened to me and I've had Gingerbread for a month. I'd suggest it has more to do with your equipment and / or (more likely) steps YOU have taken such as rooting, etc.
