OK this is getting old! I was perfectly happy with my phone and just getting an update to the latest firmware when the lady asked me if I wanted to see the latest phone. Needing to kill time I took a look at the Droid an honestly my first impression was, wow I expected a lot more from the onboard keyboard with the other one’s I’m seeing on the market (the droid's is cramped hard to use with no raised buttons). Still I continued to look a the features but was not interested until I was told about 2.1 and the ability to watch Netflix streaming movie’s on my phone. At the time I was told 2.1 would be out by the end of January. Then I was lied to about the charger not being compatible with my last phone so I would buy an extra charger. Now here it is mid March no android update in site and no release date. Unless when they said February they meant 2011. I am now feeling completely duped into buying this phone. I was lied to by a Verizon employee in a corporate store and was essentially told I was getting the flying car when all I was getting was a decent automobile.

I have had my Droid for about 5 weeks. It has 2.0 and works perfectly fine. Not having 2.1 is not an issue for me. Now, if 2.1 gives me some capabilities I find useful that I don't have now, that will be great, but until then, my Droid is great as is.

Thank you at least I can see some of the people on the consumer end of this agree with me. As for stupits I can't believe how disgustingly unprofessional you have acted on this forum. At least someone had the decency to take down the comments where you were downright insulting . I can't believe any company would let you represent them
A) I don't need to act any more professional as you are throwing insults.
B) Mods take down the ones they find to be unecessary, though if you'd like to 'duke it out' personally feel free to PM me (P.S It's not going to go down so well).
C)I'm a user on a forum that doesn't get paid to post here, that really doesn't care about what you think and the lovely part of it all, is that I don't have to.
Complaining about an update where you could have self-served yourself the information is not only a waste of time, but also space on this forum. Please, if you're going to complain about how I am this or that, at least look in the mirror and recognize how useless this thread was.
I'm done here.

Not trying to be confrontational here guys, but people like *mike* are on these boards all day long helping others with their issues and concerns. He and others do this without compensation because they enjoy it!
Threads with the same topic (the imminent firmware update) keep getting started over and over and over and over again (like my Fred Claus impression ) which can be avoided by running a search on the topic.
The bottom line here is that the information we have is that 2.x is coming some time in the first quarter of 2010 which expires on March 31st. Starting endless threads on the topic stating how angry you are that it is not here and how, as a consumer, you are being slighted or even somehow deceived is just counterproductive.
All I am saying is this forum is peer-to-peer and tenured members who are trying to help are just as frustrated answering the same questions as those of us trying to get the answers!

I may be asking a dumb question, but what Version of Android comes loaded on the Droid Eris if I were purchasing today? 2.0? I purchased my Droid Eris in December 2009, and it has Ver. 1.5 loaded. Just curious. I love the Eris, but battery life is an issue that I am hoping may be improved upon with the latest release. I also read the rumor about Verizon replacing the Eris by April 1st with the Incredible? And like everyone else, I look forward to the OTA release of 2.1.

Not a dumb question...If purchased today, its a safe bet that you would get Firmware 1.5 as well because 2.x has not been released and most likely will not come native to the phone till long after the official OTA, in other words, the VZW stores have inventory and will not be opening each box to update them prior to sale.
As for the Eris being replaced by the Incredible on 4/1, I would treat those rumors as rumors. Take a bunch of tech savy, hungry for new technology people...add in an impending new Firmware release and the liklyhood that a newer/better phone is coming and people will often add 2+2 and get 14.
I'm only two months into my new ever 2 with my Eris so I am gonna stick my head in the sand about the Incredible and hope the Eris sticks around a while longer!

When it comes to the smartphones the hardware technologies takes a leap forward every three months. It takes longer than that to get a new design approved through the FCC. Whatever hits the vendors shelf today is outdated before you buy it. What is today's hot tech is next quarters end of life. Software always lags 1 to 2 years behind the hardware. Pick your poison and jump in. Stop lamenting you don't have this or that latest revision. That's the nature of high tech. Been this way for 20 years. If you can't handle it, get a basic phone and make you calls and laugh at the fools with their high tech toys.

I upgraded my Droid Eris to leaked version of Android 2.1 and it seems to work just fine. The upgrade was very easy to do. I now have Google Navigation and the new Android market. The system seems to respond faster too with Android 2.1. Battery life seems to be the same.

When I buy something, I expect the salesman to lie to me, or out of ignorance, make wild claims. I did not buy the Droid because of what it might do someday. I bought it because of what it can do now. I have yet to scratch to surface of the power of this beautiful piece of machinery and am in no hurry for it to get updated.

From initial reports, 2.1 increases battery life substantially. [edit]

To summarize in Shakespearean form:
Verizon/Moto: Art thou hungry?
Droid Owners: Starving!
Verizon/Moto: We hath brought edible delights to quench thy deepest hungers!
Droid Owners: Thank you!
Verizon/Moto: Just kidding
Droid Owners: ?
Verizon/Moto: Go away
Excuse me but I’m trying to distract myself from depressing reality of the situation.

I am laughing because I was told by a Verizon customer service rep that the droids updates were out. I went into a service center store regarding dropped call issues with my curve 8530. He suggested the droid phones(MOTO or ERIS). I ask about the updates. "Oh yes they have the updates." In the end I exchanged phones another curve that still drops calls. I put in a trouble ticket. I am giving it until Monday (day off). If my problems persist, the htc was going to be my choice. So my question is can I really trust a sales rep knowledge of Verizon's products? I'll answer that myself : not really. SMH
