Don't think it is a joke. The post came from a admin here on the forums. why would he lie?

That, oh Great One, is a question I'd like to ask the salesperson that told me my Eris would be updted to 2.1 mid-January.

Yes the 2.0.1 update was rolled out the same in groups of 250,000 a day until all recieved.  I have manually updated my moto droid to 2.1 and it still does not do bluetooth dialing.  Also, my free yahoo account i can get setup, but it doesnt get my new emails automatically like my gmail acct.  But i have my gmail account getting my yahoo email automatically anyway, so that works for me.  Also, I dont think anybody should be on the cell phone while driving anyway, be it "hands-free" or not.  Still distracting, so I could care less about bluetooth dialing.  Im perfectly happy with the way my Moto droid is.

So whats so cool about 2.1? Im completely happy with mine... I guess the live wallpapers is a huge thing?

as much as i have read, no android phone has bluetooth dialling.

willanaya,

My Motorola Droid 2.0.1  bluetooth links with my Prius car and does dialing.

I can dial a number from the Prius screen and the call goes out over the Droid.

Been waiting for this upgrade since it was announced. I hope I am on the list for tomorrow because I really don't understand why every Droid owner could not get it as soon as it was available. Still have a few days on my 30 left, if I don't get my upgrade maybe one of the newer phones will be available.

true. 99% of the talk concerning bluetooth dialling is for the people with regular headsets and not equipment installed in vehicles.

and as much as i have seen, android devices dont have bluetooth dialing. they have decided to fall back on the voice dialer function/app

you might have to wait up to three weeks. they only send out a certain number of OTA's. then those people have to install it. and once that is done they send out more.

or you could do it the other way.

Got my update this morning! Everything went well. Only real difference I see is pinch to zoom and speak to type. Cool!
