Official 2.1 findings thread

[GenericMessage]

LOL, you're funny. Delaying something after it's released. classic.

Are you daft?

2.1 wasn't released.

Unless you wanna count a few Verizon test subjects.

I don't get why so many are so anxious for this update. There is nothing revolutionary in it. Really nothing that makes your phone more fun. The changes are mostly under the Hood. And u can get all of what it offers now AND more simply by rooting.

To me makes little sense getting mad or thinking it unfair. 2.1 doesn't give you a new toy to play with. Or if it does, its newness will run dry in a day... so why waste so much energy waiting for something like this?

But Live Wallpaper makes my phone more fun

So I can just stare at it.

Yes I want to stare at my Droid too with new live wallpapers, it makes me feel safe..keeps me warm...

I just spoke with a Verizon customer response team associate about a droid update. She said I am currently up to date with my phone (2.0.1). That there is no update planned in the near future, and if one does happen I will be notified by email and on my phone when it happens, not anytime before.

Once again, Verizon reps know nothing about updates until after the update is pushed.

It's because I'm a Baby Boomer. I'm ENTITLED to instant gratification. That's why.

Yup.

 

[ikith]

Its my job to nit pick. Don't take it so personally.

I am doubting the authenticity of that document though. I mean, BGR broke that story, and we all know how trustworthy BGR is with regards to android stuff

Either way there are 9 days until the end of Q1.

if every Moto Droid owner is a techy (which I suspect they are) we techys have this complex where we suffer anxiaty attacks if we dont have the latest and greatest. So even if we know for a fact that 2.1 is a 100% transparent update, we dont care cuz we are techys and we just want it.

Transparent? I liked my droid lasting two days without a charge on ESE53

 

[dagostin]

I get it, I'm a techy, but most techies would have acquired what 2.1 has to offer months ago in any roms... and yes I love updates, im not saying i dont want them. But I see no point in whining that we're being screwed over. I equate this upgrade to a windows service pack and i dont sit around salivating over those as well. But hey, to each his or her own, it's all good.

Official OTA ftw. I'm so sick of ROMs, and that Desire one by Greek35T isn't perfect.
