Yeah the majority of Droid owners, don't even know what 2.1 is or that anything is even coming to there phone.....one day there will be a pop up on their screen and they check yes, and then their like "hey, my phone looks different now!" and that's the end of it...

Absolutely agree with you. That's the unfortunate drawback of blogs, forums and the web in general. There's almost too much information out there and when something is leaked, be accidently or intentionally, people begin to lose it. We really need to all just calm down. The update won't cure cancer or bring world peace. Let's keep it in perspective.
 
I love my phone and what it does. Release or no release. BUZZ is really cool and who knew about that? I have never heard so many people think they have the right to demand information from a company about a product. Now I realize I am going to get yelled at on this forum, and no one is going to like me. But like I said, I love my Droid no matter what firmware version it has on it.

Dont hate me :reddroid:

I think that most of us in these forums would not hate you for loving your phone the way it is.

I cannot believe how many stories are out there about what happen with the update, or what didn't happen, or what is going to happen. If you tell three websites the same story, they twist in into three new stories. When people start quoting or referencing the story, each make up a new story. I am not necessarily saying that they do this on purpose...
 
I dont feel cheated or lied to in any way. If people actually read the post they would see that my FRUSTRATION, isnt with getting or not getting the update at all. I love my Droid (not going to root though, ill patiently wait), i dont feel like people are being cheated out of something they deserve, that is in NO WAY my problem.

CERIAL KILLER - I understand what your saying completely, maybe your not understanding me at all, perhaps my communication is poor, i apologize, let me restate it a different way.

When small overlooked things by a company are taken and blown up to, ohhh, say it being posted over 180 pages on a site that is set up to deal with and talk about those small instances along with larger problems and non problematic discussions on a single product, it shows that it is very likely if a larger problem pops up on said product...it will be handled poorly. then what will happen?

would it be very hard for motorola to release a statement saying "we know many of you are frustrated with THE WAY we are handling this small update, and we would like to simply clarify some confusion on this subject" followed by them doing just that? i cant ever get a straight answer from seemingly ANYONE at their own company that doesn't conflict with something else someone says again, at their own company. and though i trust you are very knowledgable on the subject, to my knowledge you are not an employee of motorola (perhaps i am wrong on this)

Since you know much (respected moderator) maybe then you can clarify some things for me... it would help my confusion on this subject.

if motorola doesnt push the update who does? and if it isnt them... why would they not simply state "we do not push this small update to your phones, verizon does"

why release an official statement, then a post of the inclusions in the update, then retract the update inclusions, and do it in such a way as to confuse (there's that word again) the public as to if the update statement is retracted, or if simply the update inclusions are being retracted, and do it soo poorly even several reputable tech sites need to update their own statements due to their own confusion, only making more confusion.

can we still expect the update this week? motorola all of a sudden will not give an answer, both on their facebook site AND their twitter site.

how do rollouts typically go down when everything is in order? in this case the first one seemed to go so smooth, this one seems to be a nightmare

are we to expect some features to be missing on our droid when the 2.1 update does happen? i understand the hardware is not quite as "bad ass" as the nexus one so some features could be out....true? ive also read that the procesor difference isnt much, that the nexus one is running at 660mhz anyways, and that the droids inclusion of a seperate gpu processor evens the two devices out as far as technically...whats up with this?

do you know if there is a protocol for releasing information from verizon. i understand mistakes happen, is it normal on this kind of scale though (10 dif answers from 10 dif people at verizon)

thanks for your time
 
I'm always surprised at how much people on forums expect. It's the same thing on computer hardware forums, when a new motherboard comes out, or "might" come out, then it's leaked that it will come out the following day and then it doesn't come out and 90% of the forum flips out, it's pretty insane.

Is this update really that important to all of these people, or do they just like to hype things up so that they can become excited about something? It seems like they strive on self induced excitement, whether it's real or fake.

I'm not really criticizing as much as attempting to understand the reasoning behind the madness.

On unrelated news, my droids ear speaker is buzzing on all my calls in the last 3 days so I'm having my 4th replacement sent to me. Maybe we should let them create a higher quality product instead of working on updating the software.

Ha ha i can't believe how huge this thread is now. It’s like half complaints and half people telling the complainers to stop complaining.
I’m not surprised about the complaints though like some. Have you met the human race… ever?! It’s one giant complaint over our entire existence on earth.

This is exactly why companies do not state release dates for updates. They don’t announce release date, everybody complains, they announce release date, everyone complains, they announce release details, everybody complains, they remove release information, and everyone complains. And during all these complaints we complain about you complaining!

It’s a vicious circle only continued by post like mine. <3
 
I've been reading these forums for a while and I just joined. Anyways I just wanted to say, the Droid is awesome and I believe deep down that the update will be here by saturday.

Which could be easily stopped by google. Google Chrome has what they call a Dev channel, which is openly available, but unlike the regular version of chrome, it gets updates out immediately. Whether there are bugs or not, and with that understanding the people who get bugs don't complain, and they don't have to wait for updates. Both parties = satisfied. This could totally be applied to other software updates... (2.1, for example)
 
I'm now reading this thread for the entertainment value only. I'm amazed at how many people state their opinion of what's going on as if it were fact. Then the amount of gullible people who unconditionally believe it and talk like their world is coming to an end because of it.

The only facts we really know are:
A Motorola forum manager mistakenly posted a link before he should have and then removed it after realizing the mistake. NOTHING ELSE HAS CHANGED!!! Motorola never said the update wouldn't happen this week so they have nothing to explain.

This thread is a hilarious study in human behavior.
 
whenever the update comes will be fine by me. I'm installing Windows 7 Home Premium on Saturday (an early valentine's day gift from my better half). So I got plenty of upgrade to keep me happy. I think she wants me to install it on Saturday cause she has even better plans for Sunday. :icon_ banana:
