There is an update supposedly in 10 days just in time the hot spot might not be free anymore. To remove hotspot they need an update. This is from tech support.

Motorola got there's but there not going to help HTC. There's the color of things changed like the Motorola logo changes to red dialer blue phone little faster. More superficial things. Contacts u can go to one letter skipping others. I know because my dad got an X.

Motorola was mentioned because the GB insanity of hype from the Droid X section apparently leaked over here.

Insanity, because it was a nice, decent update. Not anything worth losing sleep over, or creating copious numbers of threads over the weeks and months leading up to it.

And you folks here in the TB forum WILL see thread after thread from now until GB is released to your phone. So get ready.

At least we're not alone. CNN is running a story that bashes VZ for being about 3 releases behind on firmware for their flavor of the iPhone, too.  Looks like VZ cant get updates out for anybody...

That's on Apple.  If people actually used their brains people would know Apple controls everything about the device including updates.  If people looked at some of the fixes for the iPhone they would KNOW some of those bugs DO NOT affect us.  We also have our own unique bugs to deal with.

 

Manufacturers have to release codes first before Verizon can do anything and that's how open source IS.  If it bothers you that much that you don't get updates when someone else does then you should stick to closed source sandboxes...

there's already a few.....but i doubt it will be ANYTHING like the froyo update (which was actually a substantial update). in every forum (droid, incredible, fascinate, etc).....those threads took over half the page for months. i'm not even sure what changes will be made with GB.....whereas with froy, people were waiting for very specific and major improvements (flash, etc).

so speaking of the iphone, I find this rather amusing.  Looks like fragmentation is another thing they stole along with the pull down notifications. http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/breaking/chi-icloud-other-features-not-available-for-verizon-...

Now I wonder exactly who is copying who.

I certainly had a giggle just like Droid-Life.com about what was announced.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

heck, they should've just thrown in flash and widgets and renamed it the iDroid.
