Verizon and Motorola are about to launch a new non-Ice Cream Sandwich update (PDF file is here) for the original Droid X. And while we’re not sure when the software version 4.5.621 will be released (it could happen any day now) we do know what’s included – here are the highlights:

  • Improved browser security with the Google Security Patch from Android 2.3.6.
  • Resolved possible device resets while playing music.
  • Adjusted camera settings will be saved, even after the device is powered down.
  • Reduced Out of Memory errors.
  • WAV files can be played from Visual Voice Mail.
  • Improved stability of Music Player reduces resets.
  • Shortcuts to applications remain on the device even after applications are moved to the SD card.
  • Improved connectivity with 3G Mobile Hotspot data connectivity.
  • Improved ability to access and receive Gmail when the Mobile Hotspot is turned on.
  • Device recognizes Multimedia ringtones after purchase.
  • Button background lighting turns off while in the desktop cradle.

Now it’s all about being patient enough. Something tells me you won’t have to wait for too long before your Droid X prompts you to update. ;)
