When it rains, its pours. We just found out yesterday that Android 2.1 hitting the Moto Droid sometime in March was a pretty sure thing, and now we’ve got an exact date.
A handful of different screencaps like the one you see above just hit a bunch of Android fan blogs (We spotted these ones on Droid-Life and Android Central), implying one thing: this memo either just got pushed out to the Verizon retail outlets, or some fakester out there is putting waaaay too much effort into this. We’re guessing its the first one.
According to the memo, the first batch of Android 2.1 handsets will roll out beginning this Thursday. Given that it’s being rolled out gradually, don’t freak out if your friend’s Droid gets updated and yours doesn’t – it might take a day or two. Don’t worry, though; if Android 2.1 is half as slick on the Droid as it is on the Nexus One, the wait will be worth it.
Holy god I can’t wait…there have been so many misleading release dates, it suuucks
I almost cry when I didn’t bought this phone during its debut, but now, I’m starting to just laugh about it, to think that its not really the messiah phone for android.
Now I just wanna know,
where is flash f*****g adobe I starting to think new liver boy was right
Adobe a bunch of lazy basturds.remember when
We got our shiny new phones.flash coming soon
WTF. Still waiting
This guy is right.
Fuck live wallpaper, just come up with a Flash install. If it’s perfect, it can be fixed in time.
I really, really don’t want to root my phone for simple shit.
Does anybody knows anything about Android 2.1 update for the CLIQ?
Its gotta be coming!
What about Flash??!!!!
Yay 2.1 for my Droid!
Too bad for flash though but I use my N900 more anyways
How about the Droid Eris’s update status, we Eris owners want some Android 2.1 love too!!
Yes!!! I have been looking everyday hoping for an update. What about flash???? Can’t stand not having that. How about an update for quicker redial?
Stop with the demand for flash already. Even if we get it, the carriers will block most sites you’d want to use anyway – i.e. see Verizon’s block of m.nbc.com (their excuse was it violated their Vcast TV agreement) or the fact that flash enabled browsers like Skyfire are proxy blocked from HULU and stuff.
Android and Adobe know that carriers rule the world right now and they are the ones that have to ‘approve’ the software. I bet about the time those “tiered” data plans they are talking about show up, will be about the time Adobe release flash for Android, Iphone, WinMo and BlackBerry… They’ll do Web OS also if Palm is still around by then.
Verizon hasn’t blocked m.nbc.com.
wrong they cant block shit fcc will eat thim if they did this
only reson it hapend on apple is couse at%t can say hey apple you cant do that app ware other hand set company can go teal at%t to go fuck thear self and make the app any way
Does any body know if this update is for motorola Backflip as well?
Thanks in Advance
I called vwrizon today and they said 2.1 android for the droid has been delayed. :(
*verizon
The funny thing is that there really isn’t a 2.1 update coming for the Motorola Droid.
I just got my update OTA
how do i know whether my phone is updated or not ??
@Ganesh
There will be an “window” that pops up and asks you if you want to update your phone
Very excited that the Moto Droid is receiving the long anticipated 2.1 update. Still no ‘official’ word from HTC or Verizon on the 2.1 update for Eris. The reps at Verizon kept eluding to sometime in April, but nothing has been confirmed. Read more here: http://eugeneorourke.com/blog/droid-eris-release-date-update/
