I have had very minor issues with Gingerbread, not anything more than Froyo. Maybe as a last resort before trying new hardware you should try SBF back to Foryo and try to reupdate.. Myabe your update file was corupted somewhat on download?? not sure if that could happen, but with lots of problems it would be worth the try.
Verizon rejecting future releases of Gingerbread

You have a very good point and I can agree with this explanation, its kind of like some of the vehicles made these days, they are designed to be reliable transportation but the manufacture usually decide to use cheaper parts from another vehicle so parts would be easier for them to find but the issue is that the part wasn't designed for vehicle so they modify the vehicle to accept it anyway that usually compromise the usual stable design and function of item.
I noticed a number of users that disables the Bloatware seems to experience less issues which make a user wonder if this is the nature of all users problems or at least the starting point.

Random reboots, having to pull the battery after almost every call before the phone will work again. Along with other issues I am done with GB and the DX. I have had 7 replacements since launch, most for BT issues and not placing calls. VZW is giving me a DX2, it should be here Tuesday. I hoped to receive it by Friday but no such luck.

I disagree with you. I have...actually....HAD two Droid X's. One rooted, one TOTALLY STOCK. I did the official OTA update. Had problems with random reboots, the 00:00 phone call that ends as soon as you start it (only fixed with a reboot), and when I would leave a WiFi area neither one would pick up a 3G signal untill I did a reboot. At least on Froyo, despite the reboots, I could make phone calls and get a 3G signal.
Factory reset? You bet. Again and again and again and again...Every time I called tech support. It is as if the only words the tech support guys know is "Did you try a factory reset?" It was really awesome that one of the phones did a random reboot in the middle of the setup process with tech support on phone. The other problems still happened even when NO apps were installed (tried testing to see if it was an app causing issues for 24 hours). I even tried SBF back to stock Froyo and then doing the GB update with NO apps installed and I STILL had problems with the X's.
I almost went POSTAL when the jackhole behind the counter at the corporate Verizon store told me I should have insurance to protect my phone from these kinds of problems! REALLY?!? I need insurance to protect my phone from THEIR upgrade that was pushed out and made my phone unusable?!?!
All of these problems times 2 phones! I just couldn't take any more. It was practically to the point that I had to reboot the phone each time I left the house and each time I left work. I had to regularly reboot before I could make a phone call. It was just TOO much!
I had used the phones for nearly a year, so even though THEIR software update broke my phone, I didn't have a problem paying for a new phone as long as I could get the subsidized pricing. After a lot of complaining to the customer service rep on the phone, I managed to get 2 new DINC 2's for $99 each. Not too bad of a deal. Sure the DINC2 is on Froyo, but it WORKS! No reboots, no 00:00 calls, and it finds 3G every time I leave the house without a reboot required. I loved the X when it worked, but the GB update made it "not work" more than was acceptable. I'm starting to get used to Sense and you can find my X on eBay with all of it's accessories!
I'm done with Moto for a while. I'll give HTC a chance to woo me. So far, they're doing a good job!
Exactly what is happening to my DX. My wife has the DInc2 and its only drawback is that it does not pull in 3g as well as the DX - about 4db worse. I plan to keep calling tech support and replacing the DX until I get something that works for 24 hours without needing a reboot.

You should read some of the issues on the Moto Forums. You would be surprised to learn you may be way off base in your opinion.
Head over to Moto and check out the user forums, as well as Moto's latest response. They have acknowledged that there are major issues with the GB Update on the DX.
Add-on launchers do not replace the built-in ones. In other words, motoblur still runs if you are using something like Launcher Pro.

There are people running GB without issue on their DXs. Therefore the bugs must be attributed to user error/app conflicts. If you are having serious problems, SBF back to Froyo and update again.

User error and app conflicts? LOL!!
If that is the case then Moto/VZW should lock this OS down like Apple does. With a post like that it is easy to see you are a defender of Moto and a fanboy which is fine.
But to not blame them for these NUMEROUS issues is simply moronic.
I installed the OTA update when it was first available for download, and the only issue I've seen is that it takes a few extra seconds to connect to my Wifi than previously. I'd sure like to know about all the problems other people are having, because it doesn't seem that I'm afflicted with any (not saying others aren't having issues).
No, they have acknowledge that users are having problems, not that there is a problem with the GB update. It seems that more people who updated by OTA means are having problems, which points to app conflicts. Those who were rooted and SBF'd back to Froyo and upgraded manually are not having serious problems.
Go to the moto forums and read what employee of moto Matt says. They KNOW about these issues. They KNOW it is their problem.

I did manual update from rooted Froyo, but no other alterations. not running any other launchers (i ran bot lp and adw on froyo-trying them out) just using moto blur. Not sure why some phones have problems and others do not. i have no problems, none any greater than my froyo troubles. Not a fanboy just love how great my X has worked. and works. I'm sorry some of you are having extra problems. I wonder if it is a manufacture location problem.
