Eris OTA Update

Oh...and a little off topic but what's up with posting real pics as your avatars? I always saw forums such as these having geeky looking girls (and guys) who wear pen protectors, tape on the glasses, etc. You are good looking people and you are shattering my image of a "geek" forum! :p

I heard from a very reliable source that in 2 weeks, Friday 19, 2010, the leaked version will expire. This will leave all who updated an Eris than can be used as a paperweight.

Enjoy!

I've heard nothing of the sort. If it DOES expire then, they'll have the official OTA out before that. They would leave all of their official testers (people like NKT) with bricked phones as well if that were true.

there were a lot of people that claimed to have reliable sources saying this and that. Not trying to throw your "source" down but NKT who is a proven tester hasn't said anything like this. And he's had the same build we have for weeks.

And one more thing, why would HTC give all the testers something that would expire and brick the phone? The logic isn't there at all, and I don't think an OS can "expire" fyi

I'm not sure this OTA will happen, how long will it take to push out 122+MB of data to each users phone and how much bandwidth can Verizon handle? What about lost files, other data and incompatible programs, people not knowledgeable will be freaking out. I wouldn't be surprise if they asked users to come in the store for a free upgrade.

Remember this isn't at&t lol
anyway, if anything they'll put the download on the site where you can get MR2
PCD. I don't think they'd make people go back to the store.
Also remember they don't push to everyone at once, It is pushed to different network locations geographically across the US. And I have a feeling that VZW has thought of this and have been taking precautions, such as asking AT&T what they did with the iphone and doing the opposite

I took what he said as messing with those of us who have upgraded. Probably for those who have upgraded that were messing with the people that hadn't. I could be wrong. :)

From the way the post sounded it seems like he thinks he knows exactly whats gonna happen. His logic makes 0 sense so I just thought I'd chime in with some foresight into the situation that makes sense
 
My Eris works fine for now. 2.1 may be the best thing since ever had or gotten or well anyways, if there is even a slight chance, even if its minimal, that something can "F" the phone up I'll wait. Its not like downloading it right now will give me a million dollars or anything.

I don't.

So why's everyone waiting?

Because I simply don't care. My phone works well now and I just don't feel the need to chomp at the bit for something that others are having problems with (i.e. all the "this or that doesn't work" threads). It's a "leaked" update which means it was not yet ready for primetime and, considering mine and my wife's phones are the only phones in the house, I don't see any reason to take a chance on it.

Part of me wants something to be wrong with that leaked ROM (virus?) purely for entertainment value.

That makes sense. Maybe I was just being hopeful that he was being funny? :)

If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a green dress
(But not a real green dress, that's cruel)
And if I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you some art
(A Picasso or a Garfunkel)
If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a monkey
(Haven't you always wanted a monkey)

If I had a million dollars::D

While I agree it's unlikely that it will expire, in answer to the above paragraph, leaked beta versions of WinMo 6.5.xx had time bombs in them that would disable them at a certain point. The folks at XDA would disable them before putting this code in the ROMS.
 
Here's another bit o smack for y'all. Those who upgraded to this leaked version, no, you wont receive the OTA update as your Kernel will be that of the most current and updated one.
