Yes, it has been confirmed. We would know by now if it was a spoof because HTC would have came out and said they were hacked. Or something.

Given the very recent announcement of the Motorola Droid's update to 2.1, I think we're just dealing with PR spin in a new way. How could Verizon release 2.1 to the cheaper Android phone before they officially updated the higher-end phone they spent so much money advertising? I'm more hopeful than ever that we'll see an OTA 2.1 soonish. Prospects for root after that... I'm torn.
And for the record, I have two kids. Still find time to ponder these things and attempt to keep up with developments. At this point, though, I certainly don't feel anyone's lied to me or betrayed me. |
I don't think hrbib has ever posted anything that didn't have the tone of "most people have other things to worry about like kids, jobs, car payments, etc."
I told him (or may be another member that felt having a job and a family was an honor; it's essentially a societal norm...hooray, you graduated high school, whoop de doo, you're out of college, oh you're hitting 30, go get married) that most of us on here do care about phones and that's why we come here. Coming on here solely for the purpose of telling us how busy you are means you probably aren't all that busy.
It's a stupid practice that detracts from the thread. There are other forums on the internet where you can whine about your middle-life woes. This is not the place.
About your actual post, you're right. VZW would make it so that those that paid extra for the Droid, the flagship phone, got the update earlier. Not that VZW totally cares about their customers, but the little they do, they're doing this one thing for Droid-owners. We'll have it soon. I think it'll be sometime in April. Unless they surprise us and send it out the week after the Droid, which would, oddly, fall in line for just before Q1 ends, which is when it was suggested.
