Help When is the official update due out?

[Thom]

Thanks for the information ... you have to admit ... it is logical that it works that way ... leaving a trail of bread crumbs for them to follow.

Thanks for reaching out to Motorola. I

Just got an email for the soak test.

Sorry for the long delay, but we're ready at last to start our Bionic soak test. We will begin pushing the update to your Bionic tomorrow afternoon and we'll ask for your feedback tomorrow and through the weekend.

The email arrived just after midnight tonight so "tomorrow" could technically mean Saturday but it would need to be sent today to get any time to use it if they are asking for feedback through the weekend.

edit: update starts rolling out around noon EST Today to testers and a relatively small group of random people. And then, assuming there are no major problems with it, everyone else will start getting it early next week.
Version 5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US is the official update number.

If it is possible for you to take a screen shot of the Settings | About phone page(s) I will add it to ... http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid-bionic/438060-bionic-reference-terms-links.html#post3398984.

If it is identical to what is altered there I will just identify it as the OTA.

It might help un-confuse us.

Thanks.

The OTA update is indeed 5.5.893. I have it installed and running, but haven't had a chance to play with it much yet.

Also, what's with the forum limitation on attaching pictures? a 280 pixel limit on the height doesn't make for very good phone screenshots.

Thanks a lot.

Can you scroll down and take a second screen shot? That would include the build number.

This is THE preliminary release that was sent to the testers TODAY?

It looks like the 5.7.893 leak with the version number changed to 5.5.893

I was lead to believe that it would be 5.8.894 (ish).

Yeah, this is the update released to testers today. Just downloaded/installed about an hour ago now. I double checked before the update and I was on 5.5.886.
