Android 2.1 - Update 1 for DROID, Not Until March...

According to sources from Verizon and Motorola, the Android 2.1 - Update 1 will not be available for the Motorola DROID until March sometime. There is still no official date on when this release will happen, but from the sounds of things there is no point checking your phone for an update every few hours until early March and maybe even later than that.

This is sad news for not just DROID owners but Android owners in general. We can be safe to assume that Android 2.1 will come to the DROID before other Android phones, and until that time, other Android phones can sit tight and wait it out.

Although this seems to be a tedious wait and many people are frustrated with the process that Google, Verizon, and Motorola seem to be taking for the OTA update, maybe Motorola will give us more features then we previously were expecting in the Android 2.1 - Update 1. Only time will tell, and for now, it would appear that this is exactly what we have between our DROIDs and Android 2.1, time.

Android 2.1 Rolls Out To Motorola DROID Users

Today Motorola's official fan page announced they would be rolling out the new Android 2.1 - Update 1 to Motorola DROID users this week. They didn't say how quickly this update would be released or when every user would receive the update, but it is encouraging news for the Motorola phones users on the Android OS.

There is no news on when the Motorola Cliq would be receiving the new Android 2.1 but Motorola has announced that they will also be receiving the update this year also.

For all Motorola DROID users, you can now again to say you are one up on all other smart phones and every other phone once again, you have the qwerty keyboard and the Nexus One/iPhone don't.
