[gonzoguy24]

So we think they will roll this out in pieces again??? Sorry if this has been said already...

 

[gonzoguy24]

BY pieces I mean like ten thousand at first then wait two days then roll out two hundo a day?

 

[mclarryjr]

There is a good chance they will do that way again

This update, when released, will be rolled out just as the previous update.

 

[Roy Aguilera]

It will be delivered the same way. Cant wait for Monday

software update coming on the 22nd for verizon...maybe on that release?

 

[vzwdroidtech]

Sigh...., just like on Crackberry...

If you were a blackberry user (Which it seems you weren't) you would know that Verizon reps are just drones. They know nothing about software update release dates. I'm sure if you asked every rep at every store then called verizon support and asked them you would get thousands of different answers.

All information you get from Verizon reps about this type of thing is pure speculation until the BIG red of Verizon actually officially releases a date.

Folks...

Salespeople won't know about release dates unless it has already leaked. They didn't know how to spell DROID until the launch kits came out. As a tech, I can say as of today in the eastern part of the country, there is no word about a drop yet. 2.0.1 was published internally weeks before it came out (about Mid-November for a December 11th release). The only mention of this 'latest' update I have seen with any level of detail is what I have been reading on some websites. As far as a timeframe goes, it will probably be announced a few days to a week before it hits, and some schmuck will risk his/her job to leak it to some forum so they can have the internal 'pride' of being in the know on the Internet. Add a name tag and paper hat to that, and you get job satisfaction. Me, just rather fix phones and educate folks.

Good job at repeating what I said.

Line up for your piece of the pie...

Yes, it will be pushed out in stages. Over a million have been sold already. Depending on the size of the maintenance release, it will take anywhere from 3-7 days to get it to everyone. I'd rather be a bit patient than see the network get bogged down like has happened to RIM on some of their releases...

Besides, until Bluetooth voice dialing comes out (not in 2.1 SDK), I can wait.

I saw somewhere that it was supposed to be coming before the end of January

 

[Roy Aguilera]

Its on the document that leaked. December 22 is the date that it (next MR) should be on everyones device.

 

[gonzoguy24]

So I'm guessing it'll start rollin out with the first 10k like three days before the 22nd right? Well that is if the date still holds...

 

[Kaizmuth]

Uh, that's December 22nd? Isn't that about 3 weeks ago?

 

[dlongb13]

I believe he made a typo...I'm going to guess he meant January 22nd. whohoo updates!

 

[rhardy56]

what's the projected date for android 2.1 and flash also java if it's coming too?

 

[gonzoguy24]

Uh, that's December 22nd? Isn't that about 3 weeks ago?

What? I don't know if i said Dec. Sorry if i did . Buttt I meant Jan. 22nd.

So, my optimistic guess is that by the middle of next week, most of us will be manually updating to 2.1...anyone with me?! hahaha

 

[Roy Aguilera]

I believe he made a typo...I'm going to guess he meant January 22nd. whohoo updates!

OTA for me please

So for big releases like this, it wipes the phone.. then you log back in to get all your contacts.. what about the apps? do you just go to the Marketplace and then click on downloads and it lists them and you basically just re-download them? anyone know?
