DROID3 “Soak Test” Will Finally Begin Today (Updated)

We first heard about an update for the DROID3 at the beginning of the month that was filled with all sorts of bug fixes, plus Google Talk with Video (full list of update details).  That software update will become available to members of the Moto Feedback Network this afternoon, unless something horrific happens. The email you are seeing below has been sent out to D3 owners that want to be a part of “soak tests” for future updates.  

Hi.

Thanks for much for siging up to provide feedback on the upcoming software upgrade for the Droid 3. Unless we run into unexpected difficulties, we will start the upgrade mid-day tomorrow.

One warning — please DO NOT perform a factory data reset in advance of the upgrade. It can knock you off our upgrade list.

You can now enter the private community where we will be expecting your feedback. Get started here and learn more. In the event that you can’t enter the community, reply to this email with the user name and password you are using.

Please do not send emails here or PM me if you can possibly help it. Soaks are busy times and mostly I will be in the community.

Thanks again!

– Matt

Once this soak test clears, we normally expect the full rollout to all D3 owners to happen within a couple of days.  Assuming that nothing bad happens, you may all be updated and video chatting away within a week.  Let us know how it goes!

Update:  Soak test just started…

Cheers E and anonymous!
