I seem to be leaning on the theory that 2.1 has big time problems with CDMA.
The Verizon Nexus One launch has also been delayed which just indicates to me that there is a problem in general with 2.1 whether it is something on VZW's network or CDMA in general.
But just as the rest of this is ...just speculation.
Hopefully they will fix it soon.
I read a while back that the N1 has touch screen problems, and that had to be fixed before Verizon wanted Google to start selling the phone or is having the 3G issues like it does/did on TMO.
With all this talk about how 2.1 is not working with CDMA, remember that we have ROM's out there that is running ESE53 with no issues. Granted they do not have the radio update file, yet.
Exactly, we know the ESE53 works quite well on the Droid so that is not an issue. I don't like to bring up ROMs in this section but I have seen it run on video and it looks great. That's not the issue in getting it to us. Maybe another bug, or heaven knows what else but it will get here eventually.
