The update to Android 2.3 for the Droid 2 Global from Verizon has been stopped and suspended until further notice.
The problem was due to Microsoft Exchange glitches causing "not enough" memory errors. Motorola determined what caused the problem and found a fix.
Forums leader Matt, wrote "We've looked into this Microsoft Exchange encryption issue with the recent software update, and we know what's going on. The update has been temporarily suspended to allow us to address this. We anticipate the update to be available soon when it is ready, and it will take care of this. Sorry for the hassle, and thanks for reporting this."
