Sorry, but would I be able to upgrade a 2.1 phone to 2.2 after purchasing it (with 2.1), or would I need to wait until later when it's installed?

So I am eligible in November for an upgrade but my contract isn't up till Jan 2, 2011, would I still qualify for this?

You should be able to update it
2.2 will come as a software upgrade that you will download / install from your phone.Sorry, but would I be able to upgrade a 2.1 phone to 2.2 after purchasing it (with 2.1), or would I need to wait until later when it's installed?

They will push an update to your phone when 2.2 is ready. So yes you can buy the phone with 2.1 and have no worries.

I was just wondering about that.

From everything we have heard so far, that would be a No and No.

I already checked Verizon's site just to make sure, no Droid X on there.
