Comments on: Another 2.1 Update Delay Picture

actually yes, JohnOlesen DOES work for Verizon. It was pushed out to some beta testers, as well as higher ups in Verizon, and want to know what it did? BRICKED THEIR PHONE.

So, you'd rather Verizon send out faulty updates like they did with the Storm-but send them out in an ESTIMATED TIME TABLE that they previously said, or find out that "oh shit, this is breaking phones-let's hold off til its right, so we DONT have another Storm fiasco."

...yeah I'll take option B thank you very much-and i'm pretty sure 99.9% of the customer base would to.

So yes, it DOES let them retain whatever integrity they have left-because the update was pulled in your best interest. Lets say you got the update, and it blew up your phone, HOW MUCH HELL WOULD YOU BE RAISING?

Thank you, come again.

Does JohnOlesen work for Verizon? No one made Verizon or Motorola announce a date for 2.1's release. They did it themselves. What's pathetic is VZW giving a specific timetable, missing it, then denying they deviated. At least Moto had the integrity to concede it messed up. Pathetic, Verizon. 1,000 test roll-out was the plan all along? Wrong. VZW wrote in black and white about bathches in the 100s of thousands rolling out. It's really to generous believe VZW sent out the test versions. No one's come on a blog. No doubt Verizon sent it to made up testers. VZW's press release was put out by a scumbag totally lacking in integrity. People are annoyed with Moto's botching this but Moto concedes. VZW simply lies. JohnOlesen, who the hell are you to tell people they shouldn't be upset when VZW announces a date, misses it lies about missing it?

Not everything displayed on a computer screen is on the Internet.

Ha ha… iPhone. Hey the camera button on my Droid started peeling, would it be considered manufacturers defect (I'm not the only person with this issue) or would it be covered by Asurion?

If the update to 2.1 for the Droid is taking this long what are the future updates going to be like? When the Nexus One hits Verizon Wireless are the updates for it, THE GOOGLE PHONE, going to take this long? Is Google going to let this happen to THEIR phone? I bet they won't I bet that Google will step in and support their anointed device because it is THEIR phone. So where does that leave all other Android devices? Or will the delays also apply to the Nexus One and Google will finally get the idea that OS release shouldn't be left up to the carrier?

just like I said before, and i'm not trying to be an ass about it, but I honestly dont understand the fuss. im perfectly happy with my 2.0.1, my set up is:

-- Helix Launcher for the Multiple Screens / fancy launcher icon
-- Better Keyboard 5 for the Voice to Text function
-- 2.1 Gallery w/ Multi-Touch, just cuz the new gallery looks damn snazzy.

I loathe multi touch in the browser. i fail to see how its easier than double tapping with the thumb you already have over or by your screen while holding the phone anyways. The iPhone has it, and thats honestly the only reason I can think of that ANYBODY would want it-but thats just me.

Sorry to Tpags if i was sounding like an ass earlier. I work for Verizon, and have been fending off customers asking about the update all day, as well as fending off the usual droves of morons asking "when yall gonna get an iphone?" and "why do i gotta pay a restocking fee?" and "why cant i return a phone i broke in half?" (not even joking)

I laugh every time I have to install something on my BlackBerry (for work) and find that it requires a ten minute reboot. Well… I don't laugh for long, since I'm also the one who needs to use that BlackBerry. But at least it is a T-Mobile one, as we know what Verizon does to its BlackBerrys.

@adamrk17: “…b/c of this seems like they've done a great job with the droid to me…..”

Let's see if you're still whistling the same tune when you finally get 2.1 and realize it doesn't contain the new launcher, additional homescreens and Flash.

Why do we always get pictures instead of links? Don't people realize that you don't have to take a photograph of something on the Internet in order to share it?

First, Im already rooted with droidmod and I never use the live wallpapers. I personally thought it would be pretty funny for them to pull something that they said it was going to have. And I wouldn't put it past them. So you can hop off your high horse at any time now.
