All I wanna know is when do we find out if the Droid 1 is gonna get it. If it's not, I may upgrade my phone to something new.

cant wait for the first 2.3 Rom

i dont think the D1 will be offically updated anymore. the processor is a bit too slow for what is desired in the new builds. i may be wrong tho....

Even if we (original Droid owners) don't officially get G/B - we will for sure unofficially get it :wink:

 

[microsnook]

I hope we get this soon

i just don't get why the nexus always gets updates first.. last I checked it wasn't the most popular or most used... maybe they're just test dummies

You're joking right? *Facepalm*

I am giving it 48 hours before the droid 1 has a working 2.3 ROM.

The Nexus is a Google Developer Device - I would expect it to be on the cutting edge as far as O/S updates are concerned

Do you even know what the Nexus 1 is?

I'd give it a lot longer than that.

They have only released the SDK so far, not the source code.

You can build your apps to work with Gingerbread with the SDK....but we still need source to build the ROMs.
