+1. Also, why would the release of a new phone on another network coincide with a software update for a COMPLETELY different phone on a COMPLETELY different network?

I bet they will hammer out 2.2 right about the same time as the iRelease, lol.
THEN, once it's out for a month, they will start hyping 2.3 to keep a step ahead.

Common sense to me says that a release of a whole phone on one carrier does not necessarily mean another carrier will release a software update for another totally different phone/platform just to keep up. That's all I'm saying. No need to insult.

In marketing, your all about selling products... what gimmick or product you can provide for the consumers. Its about swaying customers, especially new ones to joining the verizon network rather than att or vise versa as an example

1. An OTA software update is for current, captive (already under contract) customers. Nobody is going to pay the ETF to get out of their contract if they have to wait another week for an incremental software update.
2. VZW has been giving Droids away recently. As pointed out in several threads, third party sellers have already sold out of their supply and are not being replenished. They will not have any Droids until the Droid2 comes out. Again, there's no incentive to push out a software update for an "end-of-life" product. Ask BlackBerry Storm owners how long they have been waiting for a software update from Verizon.
I doubt it; I don't see the Droid as a competitor to the iPhone 4. The EVO maybe, but I would say that the next standard for all phones will be front-facing cameras. I really hope that whatever follow-up comes out for the Droid will have one, or it's going to look out-of-date, Snapdragon or not.
That's what I said. When they stop producing a product and start with its replacement, that's what I could consider end of life. That said, I just got mine a week and a half ago and I love it. It's not the top-of-the-line, best-thing-out-there anymore but it's still a great phone with a fantastic userbase. I only hope that the Shadow eventually receives close to the following that the Droid currently has.
