OFFICIAL: 2.1 to release this week on the Motorola Droid

My birthday this week also Never thought of that important factor.

I knew this was gonna happen. 2.1 I'll put money on it will be the last update the Droid gets. The N1 is their prize phone and the Droid is faded. This pretty evident by the lack of even all the 2.1 features.

If there is no live wallpapers, how is it any different then most of the roms out there?

One word...official, which means you can ***** to Moto when it breaks your phone.

I could care less about multitouch. All I want it a better gallery, faster camera, and more than 3 home screens.

If you think about what you're saying it makes no sense. Android is open and will be upgraded as time goes on. The Droid is made by Motorola, the N1 by HTC/Google. Motorola will be free to upgrade if they want to (though they may not). Motorola is pretty motivated to keep the Droid updated.

I'm worried that this might indeed be true. Hopefully we are proven wrong though.

Do you folks think that when/if Flash is released that it will require 2.1?

Wow this has been a great week. Saints win. Android 2.1. Only thing to make it the best week ever would be flash and megan fox.

Being flashed by Megan Fox would do it for me...

hmmmm...do I unroot my Droid now?

I would....you may like it...or not : )

I think if you know so much about 2.1, i think you should tell us if were getting the version engadget talked about or the full 2.1 experience. =) No disrespect, it just seems by what you say in your posts, that you know more than most. Are you a beta tester or something? lol =)

hahahaha....

Well now that the cat is out of the bag I can tell you.

The deadline for the final build to be in was this Friday. So it was up in the air after Friday what would happen.

They could have released it on Monday or held it a couple more weeks if there was a problem which would have spilled into March.

My sources did not know how that would shake out only that it could be within a week or 3 depending on how solid the build was.

I don't know what features will be included right now. If I find out I'll post them.

I'm amazed with how much complaining there is already and 2.1 isn't even out yet
