Motorola Droid 2.1

Mine browses the internet ALMOST like an iPhone does
And when you turn the phone 90 degrees, your desktop switches to landscape mode, like your beloved iPhone?
No, it doesn't. Droid DOESN'T!
But I'm in a contract with these mofo's now, so I need this garbage to get sorted out.
The fluff is one thing, but getting a force-close on a phone call is unacceptable.
Happened three times today. Not cool. And actually makes a case for Heir Jobs' philosophy about software containment. I feel like I have a phone with a hippie OS that may or may not work when I need it most!
This thing wasn't ready for market, but they cashed our checks. Now it's up to us to hold them to it.
Mirroring the tone of your earlier post, it sounds like you have a magical Droid made of fail. I've never had any of the issues you mentioned on either of the Droids I've owned. And before you make a case against the phone based on the fact that I had to replace it -- it was a bad battery that I wanted to replace, but Verizon made me swap the entire phone out.
Android isn't perfect. There are some design decisions that boggle the mind. Either you can give the developers time to sort it out -- it's only been three months since the Droid launched, or you can find a way out of your contract or in to another phone. Either way though, anyone who expects the Droid to be 100% perfect right out of the box is fooling themselves.
Maybe you should simmer down and actually take the time to troubleshoot instead of trolling. There are some mighty helpful people on this forum that would be happy to give you all the help that they can, but if you come in with a bad attitude then the folks who would normally be helpful are going to tell you exactly where you can shove your ailing phone.
tl;dr - Act like a grownup.
On topic:
No update yet.
True dat.
Yeah sorry, I just read that in another thread titled "no update coming this week".
I'm not a believer anymore. Going root
As far as I have read, neither say anything about it not coming this week or next. Simply state the previous info on the release has been pulled and was premature

My phone switches to landscape when turned if you select it in the settings.

Last I checked, it's supposed to switch to landscape when you switch it 90 degrees....duh, you can turn that off if you don't like it
And my Droid DOES perform AWESOMELY and damn near FLAWLESSLY
Sounds to me like you got a crappy defective one

Sorry, where?
Motorola Hi all-- we know you are frustrated with the lack of details regarding Android software upgrades and we sincerely apologize for not being able to share info sooner. We're happy to relay the 2.1 upgrade to DROID will start to roll out this week, and we will have more information to share on other device upgrades later ...this week as well. Thanks for your patience and continued support.
