Bionic Update: New Info

[Smoke#14]

My Bionic is currently un-rooted at this time.

I think I remember reading that the date for the OTA upadate was either 11-3 or 11-5. Is this correct and is this just what most believe or has it been confirmed by Moto/Verizon. I know that even when it comes out that it will be released to geographical area a little at a time, I'm just questioning when it will start.

Nobody knows.

I'm not sure but it's November 1st today so either way, it won't be too much longer

Even so, keep in mind that it will be RANDOM even to the point that if you bought 2 Bionics the same day, one might get the update weeks after the other one did.

Things to do while waiting on the update:

1) consume massive quantities of Halloween candy..

Well we have massive quantities left, we bought $40 worth of candy (buy one get one so only cost $20) and we had about 15 kids last night, good thing we only buy candy we like also.

New Update
I know everyone is eager for updated software. We have been working diligently on a software update for DROID BIONIC and have a version in the testing stage; we expect to deliver it to users in 30 to 60 days. The update is targeting issues identified through owner feedback and we’re confident it will improve device performance.

Just FYI I just got off the phone with a Motorola rep who advised the update should be here in a "couple of weeks." As usual, nobody seems to know a specific date... Where's the Bionic project manager when you need him/her?!?!?!?

I sure hope its sooner than later, keeping us in the dark with a date is getting old . I for one will not get jerked along for long, I will just sell it and grab a more stable phone and I assume Im not alone.

Disappointing. I had been waiting to see if the update fixed the data loss and camera issues. However, it's going to be as many as 60 days, than I suspect I'll wait to see if the RAZR has any glaring issues. If not, I think that's the way to go.

If this is what I end up having to do I will not be supporting Moto by getting the RAZR.

I am SHOCKED! The update is not coming when the mods super secrete source's cousins girlfriend said it would. Should I return the phone or wait for aliens to insert a comunication probe in my brain?

"Owners" AKA Beta testers. Yer welcome Moto!
