2.1 ESE53 will be Official Release on the VZW Motorola Droid

There sure are a lot of people complaining about the 2.1 update saying we already have that! I think the thing to remember is that about 90% of the Droid owners don't have what some of us have... and me... I'm happy with DM 1.0 (Sholes made it easy) and with all the features of the 2.1 update thanks to so many hard working people on these forums (plus several more features since I am rooted... like overclocking and wireless tether :icon_ banana
But if you figure there are at most what about 200,000 Droid owners max that visit the various forums and I will bet a pretty good percentage of them have still not rooted. So out of the 1.05 million Droid owners I think there will be a lot of happy people. Hell I wasn't unhappy with 2.0 stock coming from the Storm, just my opinion ( and yes go ahead and slam me for just guessing at numbers and percentages... Ha! ):cus:

That will be just the encryption signature key to lock the Droid bootloader down as with the Milestone. The rest will follow after. :icon_evil:

I wonder how they choose who to send the updates to first. Alphabetical, date of sale, serial number, random, by location, or most beautiful people first? I think I will be last no matter which method they choose.
It is funny how people begged and complain about 2.1 coming out, and now when it's coming out they could either careless or complain about it. Ha can't make anyone happy at all. I for one am happy for the new release.
Thats what I'm saying. People love rooted roms, cooked roms. I do too, meanwhile I just want a completely functioning phone. I'm simplistic yet, apps like "drocap2" and all those, are on rooted devices. Not a necessity, but I enjoy the luxuries.
if it goes by...
date of sale, i may get it early....
most beautiful people first, i think i'm in trouble! :blink:

You are kidding are you not? No app is bugless.[/QUOTE]
Yes, that's the point. Saying that you should be fine with not having 5 screens in 2.1 because there are apps that replace the Home with 5-7 screens misses the point that we want 5 screens that don't force close 15 times a day.
"Release schedule is as follows:
At noon EST on 3/18 1,000 users will receive notification of the upgrade
At 11:59 pm on 3/18 9,000 more users will receive the notification to upgrade
After the first 10,000 users receive the update on 3/18 there will be a 24 hour period where no additional updates will be pushed.
On day 3 (3/20) 200,000 users will receive the update notification at 11:59pm and continue each hour until delivered to all users"
Nice, so 10k on the 18th, no more on the 19th, then 200k on the 20th.
I loved the time disputes, though CK has it right, and in the right order...
But RW-1 has the following for most of us here on the board:

Sometime on the 19th, someone somewhere will get the update.zip to Droidforums, Droid Life, etc.
Sometime on the 19th, an X number of forum users, (likely a majority of non-rooted and running stock, a smaller percentage of rooted users who went back) will download and install the update manually. :icon_ devil:
On day 3 (3/20) 200,000 users will receive the update notification at 11:59pm and continue each hour until delivered to all users.
By day 5, there will be anywhere from 3 to 37 Threads about how the 2.1 OTA sucked, didn't have this or that, or if it has been rooted yet, ROMS made off of it, etc.
By Day 7, we all will have turned to the Android 2.2, 2.5, 2.7 and 3.0 upcoming releases...
