Verizon details Motorola Droid RAZR/RAZR MAXX updates

Good news Motorola Droid RAZR/RAZR MAXX owners, it looks like Verizon will be rolling out an update for both devices. This update should be bumping up the software from Android 2.3.5 to Android 2.3.6 with the new software version number being 6.12.173.XT912.Verizon.en.US. Since both devices are essentially the same, with the exception of the latter sporting a battery double the size of the former, the software they share would naturally be the same as well. The update is expected to bring updates to certain apps, improved data connection, and battery saving fixes among other things.
