Simple solution...Don't read threads with 2.1 in the title. Some of us are really looking forward to it for no other reason than we like new stuff. We also enjoy discussing any little morsel that comes about, so deal with it...No need to be rude..

That's why threads have titles.
Don't like the title? Don't read the thread!

Impossible, copyright laws and all....even if it did happen it would have to be a highly watered down version, something like flash -lite for winmo.
 
Hey guys I am new here but I have a question for y'all? I normally live in Houston so I obviously have service there but I go to Texas Tech in Lubbock where this used to be alltel. Now the weird thing is that both the voice and text network (a.k.a the one with no signal next to the bars on the droid) as well as 1X national access, is full Verizon now. However, my 3g is still considered extended network!! ( I know this because if I set my phone to home only I lose 3g or if I put it to evdo only my tag changes to extended network) I know that Verizon said that no updates would go to you if you are roaming so I am kind of stuck as to what to expect about getting it, since I am half roaming lol.

I have had the phone on wifi as much as I can but nothing yet. I wondered though if you do it on wifi wouldn't that come out really late since wifi does not connect to the network so wont Verizon have to post it somewhere on a server for the phone to find? I still do not understand where the update goes if you use wifi and how your phone knows to look for it. Sorry for the rant but I really enjoy this forum and thought you could help? Thank you! Also i never got the original OTA for 2.0.1 and waited five days before downloading the file but I would like the OTA if possible. Just mainly wanting to know if anyone thinks it is going to work?

yeah i did not know for sure just found it kind of weird and i never had it come to me like that before for a app its never said a major security update is available to download it was always a update is available to download anyway not that big of a deal just found it a little weird thats all
 
i doubt this is 2.1 and i doubt there will be a LEGIT update, i think it has already happened via 2.0.1 facebook fix! this won't happen i think! No news sites mention it like last time!
 
i think the update that some got was a re release of 2.0.1 with bug fixes. it prob went out to 1000 or so people and therefore didn't take much bandwidth! i am not holding my breath for any 2.1 update! just seems insane that no major website can even say what the update you all got was.... let alone that we are getting some other update!

to imply that i'm not excited or not looking forward to is idiotic. i'm new here but you seem to be a veteran round these parts. i feel as though the seasoned people recommend the 'search' feature to be used. me being new and already sick of 2.1 threads kinda says something. why didnt you recommend the search feature? i think that would have solved this whole rant, dert. the simple fact that i did indeed click on a 2.1 thread shows my eagerness and wanting it to only find out more garbage. think about the PM feature next time please, it saves a whole lot of "this"
 
if it comes tomorrow i would be happy... but i wouldn't put much stock on what vzw store reps say.

from my experience they dont know much more than what is being rumored online. my local vzw store said to expect it on the 30th... :/

im not holding my breaf ... yes i spelled it with an f on purpose.
