It's not as if they are saying, "Our forum followers are getting really antsy here. Better hurry up!" Verizon realizes that if they miss the Q1 end date by a week or so, 96% of all Eris users will not know the difference.
Yep, I've actually shown some of the 2.1 features to a few people that have an Eris and many of them just yawn and say, "Oh ok, that will be nice." Nobody is really all that excited about it, but us. I remember seeing a post on another forum where a guy was talking about just registering even though he bought his phone on day one. Another guy responded with total shock that he waiting so long to join the forum and talk about his phone. lol Most people don't join discussion forums unless they have a problem or just can't figure something out. The average cell user pays zero attention to forums and update time lines. We may see them as complete nut cases, but as others have said, "There are more important things in the world" for them.
