Droid does delays: No 2.1 update today – Android and Me

Note where they say:

"Maybe there really is something to that tip we got yesterday which blamed Bitfone for the delay."

Let's find Bitfone and ...

From androidcentral:

It's officially bad news for that Motorola Droid Android 2.1 update, folks. BGR snagged a shot that looks like the same internals that we've been seeing. And this one's not welcome.

"The OTA software update for the DROID by Motorola is TBD. A new date will be communicated as soon as possible."

and

"The 3/18 OTA software update will not happen as planned. A new data will be communicated as soon as possible."

Can't spell it out any worse than that. Sorry, folks. Feel free to vent your conspiracy theory in the comments. [via BGR]

Update: And this was just posted to Motorola's Facebook page. No, it doesn't help.

"Thanks for your continued patience. We aim to answer each and every question; if your post isn't answered immediately, please know that we're looking into your question so that we can provide the most up-to-date information as possible."

In other news, Android and Me says the delay has been attributed to the company that actually handles the over-the-air distribution. That sounds right to us, because Verizon has already pushed out the update to some of its employees, and they're reporting no problems with the ROM. Stay tuned.

Here's a friendly tip for Verizon:

If the issue really is with Bitfone's distribution, just drop an update.zip friendly link somewhere and let the blogs circulate it around so a whole bunch of us can download and update on our own and save you the OTA network impact/fuss.

kthxbye
