Droid X Running Android 2.2 Appears On eBay

Google’s anticipated Android 2.2 mobile OS seems to be turning up everywhere nowadays, and when someone purchased the Motorola Droid X off eBay, the device surprisingly came preinstalled with Android 2.2 FroYo. Apparently the firmware installed is just a test build, and isn’t the final product, but it’s still nice to know that the firmware is busy being installed on Droid X devices around, and we’re looking forward to seeing it officially offered for the Droid X, hopefully sooner rather than later.
