[n0yxl]

Is it here yet?  I didn't miss it; did I?

Wow is it just me or is this not the longest week ever.  I mean it is almost nine days long now.  Crazy.

Well, now at least they're setting our expectations more accurately...

Repost.   That news is at least 2 days old now....

fezzik: I feel the same way.

"update coming soon" - LMAO

HTC did announce the Eris, along with their other Hero series phones, will be updated to 2.1, though no timeline.

It seems Moto jumped the gun announcing their 2.1 update, probably without consulting Big Red. My GUESS, VZW has it in a test phase.

"Update coming soon"....seriously?  Why not just say  "Update coming eventually...maybe" At least that would be honest.  I don't even have an Android device yet, but I'm getting tired of VZW dangling the carrot in front of us.

At least they outlined their plans. Better than speculation and rumors. And give VZW a break, they depend on Motorola to prepare the package to ensure all the bugs have been worked out. Lets just sit back and patiently wait. I'm sure the wait will be worth it.

According to Matt, one of the Forums Managers of the Motorola forum:

"... And in this particular case, I would say the reason we have "soon" there for Droid vs. "Q1 2010" is because Q1 makes it sound like it could be late March and we expect it much sooner than that."

A member of the Motorola Droid forum posted a video allegedly showing his Droid updated to 2.1 via OTA. Check it out here.
