Does this thread remind anyone else of when they were a kid and getting news updates on Christmas eve on where Santa's sleigh was?

Is everybody depressed now?

if you get depressed over a small update for your phone you got bigger problems than getting the said update :icon_ devil:

I like the arch too. What problem(s) does this update actually SOLVE? Unless it does something useful I like my unlock function the way it is so I won't install the update at all.

As first found by gixxerjoe:

I found this posted over at Boygenius. rumor has it that Droid Upgrades may be starting today.

Verizon Motorola DROID OTA updates starting today? Boy Genius Report
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/...tarting-today/

This is a preliminary report. If anyone gets an update please let us know.

If you do receive the update please add your location (approximate is fine) to this Google map: DROID 1st OTA Update - Google Maps

Edit : if you have any issues or fixes please post at http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...ngs-fixes-thread-droid-2-0-1-ota-updates.html

Specifically what issues will this update "fix"?

You won't have an option. Unless you can deal with a popup every 30 minutes for the rest of your phone's life.

But why are so many so anxious to install an update that we have no idea what it fixes?

No update in MN

No love in Mpls

 

[shamus]

We know exactly what it fixes.

All the "fixes" are in the first post of this thread:

the update can take place over 3G if you don't have wifi correct?
Mandatory System Update: DROID by Motorola
I'm assuming that the wifi is only if you do not have 3G

Just saw this on another forum:

Droid update schedule.
Just got this in my internal VZW e-mail:

All times are EST.

At noon on 12/7, 1,000 users will receive notification of the update.

At 11:59 pm on 12/7, 9,000 more users will receive the update notification.
After the first 10,000 users receive the update on 12/7, there will be a 48-hour period when no additional upgrades will be delivered.

On Day 3 (12/9), 200,000 users will receive the update notification at 11:59 pm. This schedule will continue each day thereafter until the update has been delivered to all users.

Well I definitely don't like this option.
If there are a million droids out there, that means there is a one in thousand chance you will get yours today, and then a 1/111 chance you'll get yours at midnight tonight, then if you don't get it by then, 48 hrs later you have a little better than a 20% or 1/5 chance of getting it the next day "3th day at midnight" and then the 4th day you have have a 25% chance, Day 5 you have a 50% chance and if you still don't have it by then, day 6 you should get it.

Is everybody depressed now?

Maybe my math is off.......

Considering the update was originally scheduled for the 11th and that's what we all expected, I think the "chance" of getting it early is a good thing.
