Well, the Motorola Droid 3 hasn’t been out too long but it is already set to get an over the air update soon, possibly sometime this week. Something we have heard of many times is about to start and that is a “soak test” for the over the air update. This update should hopefully fix a slew of small problems plaguing the device since launch such as battery issues and what not, as well as hopefully add Google Talk voice chat capabilities with Android 2.3.4

In case you missed our amazing rundown of the Motorola Droid 3 you can see our review by clicking here. In the photo below is a copy of an email sent out to many readers and Droid 3 owners that will take part in the “soak test” to make sure the update is ready for the masses and will start rolling out to all users a few days following, as long as no issues are found that are show stoppers.

We’d like to hear from our readers. If you are experiencing any issues with your Droid 3 feel free to drop us a comment below and we will be sure to check on it. Hopefully this update comes sooner than later and will fix any issues users are having but I’ve not heard any large complaints thus far. Stand-by as the update should be starting soon in the next week or two.

    My droid is shutting off all day and night long.  Powers off and then back on by itself.  I’ve gotten 3 phones now from Verizon and they all are doing the same thing.

      I have identical problem on 2 Droid 3′s….
