Droid X users are patiently awaiting their upgrade to Android 2.2, and a Motorola support forum member has revealed an expected roll-out time frame. Matt in his post wrote :

"Some Droid X users are experiencing an issue using Exchange 2003
email. Though the email is arriving on the Droid X, no notifications are
appearing. A fix for this will be included in the upgrade to Android 2.2 scheduled for deployment by early September."
