Who Pumped Up Motorola Droid?

This is some crazy news guys. Folks at MobileCrunch claims that some programmers overclocked Motorola Droid to run up to 1.1GHz, yup making Motorola Droid 2nd fastest phone. Nexus One is still ranks no. 1 as being the fastest android powered phone. Don’t believe me?

Heres what MobileCrunch has to say:

The Droid usually runs at about 600MHz so bumping it up to 1.1 was fairly dangerous. However, with a little tweaking the boys at AllDroid were able to find a stable speed at about 800MHz.

How do you do it? Well, it requires you to root your Droid, a fairly simple process and then upload a new bit of firmware. The full instructions are here. As someone who has tried to futz with firmware, this second step is pretty rough so get yourself a few bottles of beer before you start.
