Over a Dozen Motorola Devices Will Never Taste Jelly Bean, Owners Get $100 Upgrade Credit Instead
Remember the Droid X2 from Motorola? Released last year, it was the first dual-core 1GHz smartphone available on Verizon Wireless' network, and it boasted some pretty impressive specs for its generation. Unfortunately for Droid X2 owners, it's one of more than a dozen smartphones Motorola revealed will NOT be receiving an update to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean).
The total number comes to a baker's dozen and includes some devices that aren't terribly old. Here's the full list:

On the bright side, owners of the above devices are eligible to receive a sort of consolation prize in the form of a $100 rebate when trading up to a select new Motorola smartphone. Devices eligible for the rebate include:
- Motorola Atrix HX
- Droid RAZR M by Motorola
- Droid RAZR HD by Motorola
- Droid RAZR Maxx HD by Motorola
- Motorola Electrify 2

Motorola has a special website setup where device owners can check their trade up eligibility. If you qualify, you'll have to mail Motorola a valid proof-of-purchase (copy of receipt and UPC code) from the new device, as well as send the company your used phone. The rebate will come in the form of a $100 Visa prepaid card.
