Droid X, auto or manual update 2.3 Gingerbread

[CmHall9]

I assumed that when 2.3 Gingerbread was available for my Droid X it would automatically update. Instead it took a Verizon rep to let me know that Gingerbread was available. Is this unusual? Shouldn't the OS on my Droid auto update or does everyone have to check and update it manually?

You have to accept the install in order for it to update. If available, the update can be downloaded and installed by plugging in the phone to a PC and running the .exe program...otherwise keep checking for a system update and accept it if received over the air.

You will get a notification in the status bar when the update is pushed to your phone.

Good to know. I was starting to think most users wouldn't realize it was available.
I had talked to several people at work yesterday who have Droid X phones and none of them knew about the update.

Updates take weeks to get to all.phones, it sucks but it can be worth it.
