[...] Droid Life is reporting that they spoke with a Customer Service Rep. regarding the 2.1 software update for the Droid, and he simply reported that it will be released within the next 2-3 weeks. They are also reporting that they spoke with another Representative and they weren’t as clear as the first, but they said by the end of “Q1″ which happens to be the end of March. Marcelo M.: Hi, my name is Marcelo M.. How may I help you? Kellen B: Hey Marcelo! Since the Spain Milestone has Android 2.1 and the Bulgarian one launches at the end of this week with 2.1, should Droid users expect it this week as well? Marcelo M.: Within the next 2-3 weeks Kellen B: Really? That’s awesome news. So by the end of March? Marcelo M.: Yes Kellen B: Very cool! Any details on what will be included in the update? Marcelo M.: Not at this time Kellen, I am sorry Kellen B: Ok, well thanks for providing me with a more defined timeline than just “soon”. Greatly appreciated. [...]

I find it more than coincidental that the rumored 2.1 release for Droid coincides with the rumored Skype release for Droid. Am I alone in this?

I would like to get an update soon but it is hard to keep track of all the ROMs floating out there. Is there any place where I can get comparison among all? Will be very helpful for non-geeks like me

I'm not trying to sound snarky or rude, but… dude. Punctuation. Learn about it. It took me way too long to try to figure out what you just said.

1barlog17, any in-store Verizon rep was pulling it out of thin air. I work for VZW and any of us reps in the store are the last to get any info about updates, phones, rollouts, etc to A) prevent leaks of proprietary info, and B) prevent customers from becoming irate if intended plans get delayed, go wrong, etc. What that rep was supposed to say was “There has been no official word of any said update, its features, nor its release date, but did you know that you can do this with the software you already have?” Then we're supposed to try and teach the customer about a feature or two included with 2.0. that maybe they haven't used yet, such as widgets, custom ringtones for each person, the My Verizon app, etc. to re-breathe life into the built-in software and change the topic I guess.

If you're interested, there's a topic posted a few days ago for CyanogenMod, it'll show you how to root your phone, very simple steps, and it's a merely installation vs. “BOOT” with most other ROMs. Of course, ALL INSTALLATIONS ARE DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK. It does provide very simple steps and good instructions on how to complete the operation.
