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.

  1. Looking at Verizon, and how in the past they want everything you do to "pay them" I bet the 2.1 had features they want to remove or restrict. Be ready for a disappointment.

    Right now it infuriates me that I just plunked down 299.00 (100.00 mail in rebate) and sent off for the rebate. Within 2 weeks of that now they are selling them for $50.00 bucks OR giving a second one free. Argh....
