Fascinate MR2 (DL09) Waiting Lounge: Annnouncement Now on Verizon's Website

[Timmedic]

Thanks @NickA I am truly happy with Android as a platform, learning curve hasn't been too intimidating either. Wish I could convince more people who may be on the fence that Android is truly the better investment.

OK so the 10th has come and gone. Not even 1 soul has chimed in with the I HAVE IT shout. Pushed in waves? One of those waves woulda hit someone here on the forums.

Call this an update? Update our frustration/disgust...

I still love this phone tho

...People who went form iPhone to Android will never go back to iPhone...

this thread and the accompanying thread about where is froyo is the exact reasons that I'm going back to iPhone on Feb 10th...

developments in the android community are stiffled by manufacturers putting their own "spin" on android, and carriers bloating the final product. devices with 2.3 are OUT, 2.4 is on the horizon, heck, 3.0 is already seen on tablet devices, and i'm sure will be hot on the tails of 2.4, yet we're on 2.1 with a very new hardware set, and still waiting for the Samsung/Verizon hack job of 2.2

This. Android fragmentation will set this OS back if something isn't done. But what can be done? Open source at it's finest. You have Apple, and now Windows Phone 7 pushing updates, so all their phones run the same OS. Sure, the carriers love to hack at the OS and the manufactures love to put a new face on Android, each one trying to define what it is by the way it looks. It ends up being no one (except hackers) can update the OS.

I think Android is a "prisoner of the moment" kind of thing, and will be until the update thing calms down a bit. I love Google updates the OS at a lightening pace, but it's only as fast as it's slowest carrier to implement the update.

Lol, its fine. I had a windows partition on there, but for some reason, I can't access it anymore. I had Odin and everything downloaded on it, too.

I understand the question in the other thread

If you flash the official OTA - you will definitely get future updates, if that's what you were asking

 

[TroobAdore]

yep. i updated to this firmware last night. works great. if you do it via Odin MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP ALL DATA VIA TITANIUM BACKUP. GPS is sooo much better. Received navigation within 10 seconds. Corey are there any custom ROMs available for DL09 yet? Thanx

Check out the ROM's and hacks section. There are some, yes.

I downloaded the update last night around 8pm on my wife's Fascinate. Go into Settings/About Phone and check for updates. Make sure your wifi is off otherwise it will tell you there are no updates. It has to check through the cell data or it won't find it.

Haven't had time to play with it yet but the install was quick and seamless. Haven't done mine yet because I'm rooted and running a custom ROM.

It gave you the update, even though you're running a custom ROM? That's the first time I've ever heard of that happening.

I think his wife's phone wasn't running a rom, he didn't get it because he has a custom rom.

Good post @Timmedic. People who went form iPhone to Android will never go back to iPhone, IMO. One you get an Android device, and see all that it can do (even without root) compared to the iPhone, you won't miss the iPhone at all.

I'm one. There is something I miss - universal cut n' paste.
