Android 2.1 Update Rolls Out For Motorola Droid!

Everything out there on the net seems to agree. 1000 to start, 9000 more by end of today and major roll out tomorrow. More and more sites are continue to report the same thing. But not a thing from Verizon.

After seeing the violent backlash when 2.1 didn't go as planned the last time, I suspect Verizon will let the DroidForums and DroidLifes and Engadgets of the world test the waters before they come out and declare anything. If anything goes wrong, Verizon can say that nothing was declared and the blogs jumped the gun again. :)
 
I hate to sound nasty but any of these tools who have posted the pics could've saved the update.zip first.

If you get the triangle notification, then the zip is already on your Droid.

Decline, do it later.

Mount, and copy update.zip from SD card root to your PC.

Unmount and reboot Droid (simple wasn't it?)

Tools in my book.....
 
Sounds like 3 screens still, I hope there is an option for 5. With all the new google widgets taking up a lot of screen space, it seems like 5 would be required for 2.1 and beyond.

Well, you gotta remember that most people aren't thinking this is any big deal. And quite honestly I wouldn't know what to do with it without directions. If I get it, and of course I won't I'll post it.

Now my wife's Droid is sitting there waiting for her to set it up when she gets home. I'm dying to see what OS she has.
 
Can someone get the URL of the update from the logs, so we can download it directly?

If it reaches a person on this forum I think it will be safe enough to do this. But can you imagine if the update 2 weeks ago was released to the public? how many phones would be bricked? 100k? :icon_eek:

I don't know what you guys do with all that screen. I barely use 1 1/2 screens.
