PLEASE READ: Reguarding the 2.1 Update for the Motorola Droid

Hate to be a downer but... What if these "lucky" 1000 droid users that receive the update now, are not even droid users, just verizon employees across

Or noobs that don't know what it is to fanboys like us.

"Oh.. What is this? Guess I'll just install it. La De Da!"

*sigh* :(

I was just thinking the same thing.
 
Damn, I want this UPDATE, well I only want it becauase of the live wallpapers(those will be so sick) and the face that we are 1 step closer to getting the flash update. I am going to go off once we get this!!!! :) :)
 
rabble rabble rabble.. can't believe I just read the entire thread, only to post something as useless as the rest of you. :P
 
Statistically what are the chances someone on the board gets it today?
Sorry to sound like C3PO but would be interesting to find out.

Han Solo: Never tell me the odds!
 
im thinkin the first 1000 went out to all verizon employees like someone said...cuz that way they could find out if there were issues with the update rather than the public calling and bitching to customer service
 
Graz, too true. I am returning to my happy world of 2.0.1 knowing that when/if I want to root and overclock, those options have been here all along and may not ever exist on future Androids..
 
Now i'm starting to get upset. We've don our part and both the Droid and we pay $99+ a month religiously to Verizon now its time for some consistency from them. Delayed!!!!!
 
All right, I'm seriously switching to the N1 as soon as it's available on Verizon, maybe then I can get updates straight from Google, and not have to wait through all this bs. DON'T TELL US THEY'RE COMING OUT!!! Just send them out and we'll all be happy to get it, no letdowns.

I know the bug its called BS. Don't worry guys its coming out today. Don't let this thread turn into a Verizon bash party.

Well, unless your hosting account can handle the massive amount of bandwidth that would be use from everyone and their mom's downloading this file, I would suggest setting up a paypal donation account and ask for donations.

But that is just me.

I want my 2.1 right now, bugs and all. :-)

After trying HelixLauncher and realizing how much I was in denial about dxtop's lag, I've just finished recatagorizing all my apps once again (Folder Manager, strong, gotta have those catagorized folders that dxtop did so nicely) and am loving the lagfree screenswitching.

Can't wait to see what breaks and what is better in 2.1.

(oh, and everyone must try Dialer One. Great phone front end and t9 filtering. Hope it doesn't break)

So, the vigil begins. How long will it take? What else shall we do in the meantime? Didn't somebody say something about basketball or something?

Go Cornell! Rah.

Hey guys, first post here on these forums. I too am patiently waiting for 2.1. Very patiently now that I come to think of it lol, it's been a long time coming. I'm praying that hopefully one of the first 1000 people to receive the update are smart enough to save the file.

If the update.zip does leak, will updating require anything other than the actual phone? I'm not at home right now and don't have my own computer or anything so I was just wondering if I could get 2.1 as soon as it leaks.
