android 2.1 update for motorola droid confirmed for tomorrow
Thursday, January 21, 2010spoke with a verizon rep just a few minutes ago that confirmed what many have been saying for weeks. they are, as most of us, under the impression that the android os 2.1 update will start rolling out to motorola droids on friday, 1/22. (yes, tomorrow.)
while that comes as great news, there is also some sour news in the mix. when asked if flash 10 would be included in that update, they said they were still not expecting flash support until mid-2010. damn!
and if this rep is wrong on the timing of the update, i'll give everyone the store number so we can set it on fire.
update 1/28:
to tide us all over while we wait impatiently, check out our list of android 2.1 applications that have been ported over to our motorola droid devices.

ReplyDeleteSo only moto droid and nexus will. Be on 2.1? The rest will b 2.0?
ReplyDeleteI just spent 30 minutes with tech support. Stating she had nothing to confirm however oddly the service Rep did confirm an update tomorrow however no further info on the version. I will have to stop by the store to see if they have anything.
ReplyDeletecalling a rep is like always some are able to find/give information, the update should roll out around 6am pacific i think.
ReplyDeletechris: i just asked about the droid...sorry! but i'm guessing the eris isn't getting its update to 2.0 just yet. hopefully soon though!
ReplyDeleteyay at least we will have 2.1! but i need that flash player. and im not going to do anything illeal to my phone because i just dont want to since my dad works for Veizon. but they need to hurry up i will tell my dad that haha.
ReplyDeleteruffhousekid: so can we get a second confirmation from your dad on the 2.1 update happening tomorrow? :)

Will it come out at midnight or later in the day?
ReplyDeleteWell if it actually comes out like we are all hoping, it'll likely start early morning rather than at midnight.
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs to go to bed and wake up and hope that their phone starts getting an update. No use sitting around at midnight...
as i stare at my Droid still running 2.0.1, i must say that this rep was misinformed.
ReplyDeleteat this point, it's tough to disagree with that statement :)
ReplyDeleteWay to drop the ball. :(
