any signs of 2.1?

I never said Flash 10.1, did I? Flash is useless anyways. Oh great, Hulu on your phone. Enjoy two episodes of your favorite show before your battery dies.

Not when I can connect it to the charger and watch it at work where they have hulu blocked on the work computer.
uh huh...how about them apples

Us normal people probably won't see anything today. I think Verizon Employees will be the 1st 1000. Look for some noise at the end of today. If it goes bad we will definitely hear about it later. If it goes good I assume we will hear about it as well, but who knows.

If it actually is dropping for VZW minions today. I think VZW is being super duper careful about any announcements. Because big daddy (Voda phone), already released its 2.1 with no issues whatsoever.

Since thats the case, we have to be seeing it very soon, the milestone is nearly identical to the droid (minus a icon here and a gsm there). And Voda does own VZW.


I used to care, I really REALLY did.
But then I realized that I can speak with my wallet and just go with someone else if I am really that disgusted.

I hear you about speaking with my wallet. I would jump ship if I could but VZW is the only one at the moment who has 3G coverage everyplace I need it. So I'm stuck.....For now....

 

[JORDAN#IM]

Yeah, I really hope I do hear that noise later today and it better be worth the long wait too.

 

[j7469]

I could see Verizon blocking Hulu if they can.

Almost guarantee they will.

I don't think so. They are allowing Skype, slingbox, and high quality you tube now with no restrictions. It's possible but I think they will do the opposite of AT&T on this one.

(Supposedly) 1,000 testers today, then if all is well after 24 hours, they'll start with 200,000 on Friday, and 200,000 every day thereafter until every Droid user has the update.

I was speaking more along the lines of a different device, not a different carrier.

If the first round of updates are going to VZ employees only, they're probably under a rather strict "gag order," so to speak. I assume VZ wants to avoid the fiasco they had last time this was tried....

Oh, don't worry, information will leak later on today. It's inevitable.

Someone will leak it... especially if it's a success.

I understand. Thats why I only get 1 year contracts now. I have 2 lines on my account that I can upgrade on, so I can get a new phone every 5 months if I play my upgrades correctly.
