Not OTA yet, but using the Motorola Software Update tool seems to be working:

Motorola - MILESTONE - Mobile Phone Software Update - Motorola UK

Just updated mine, new unlock screen, voice search still working, camera focus now working and new power widget available. etc. Phone is reporting 2.0.1 as the firmware version.

Excellent news! Installing as I type... Still not working OTA though.

Just need to keep naggin them about the 2.1 update now!

Only downside I can see so far is that the jerky scrolling on some image heavy web sites is still present as it was on the Droid update.

It's not unusable, but it is irritating. Especially after a 1.5 month wait.

I tried to update mine but its not working.

I've installed the software and connected my phone, but it keeps saying connect device.

Also noticed a new 'Audio Effects' app which seems to be an Equalizer for choice between Stereo Headset and Phone Speaker.

stig

Mine kept doing that for a while. Make sure you install the USB driver and try different USB sockets.

Cheers fella, updating now. Re-installed driver, software and rebooted everything.

fingers crossed facebook sync now works.

Where is the OTA update for the uk?

We are not expected to have to go and download this update are we?

The facebook page says that the europe rollout is complete now....that is pretty crap if they are not pushing this out, especially after forcing us to wait!

celios

Yeah spotted that as well. Did the Droid get this with it's 2.0.1 update, or is this a Milestone 'bonus' I wonder?

celios

Early days, but battery life with 2.0.1 seems better for me. Fingers crossed I might be able to get 2 days between charges now.

dunjamon

Same here...plus it seems to be a bit faster too.

Just updated to 2.0.1 after a while of hell..

Now got it running perfectly.
Also noticed a new Phone screen. When someone calls the answer/decline screen has changed.

Updated yesterday, and this morning my alarm clock failed. On my screen it says "handcent sms not responding", the led was blue, and probably I have recieved an sms while sleeping.

last i heard from the offical support forums was that there was server problems for the OTA roll out but this was expected to be resolved by end next week i.e. 19th Feb (i think)

i use linux and dont want to fluff around installing Windows XP/Vista and install drivers etc. just for this update

Systems

Just updated. Took ages and was very nerve-wracking, but it did it in the end. Restarted sync as instructed.

My power widget is now big and black, not small and white, and apart from that yes there are the audio thing and the phone screen changes. Hopefully my battery will last longer too.

Now to go through it all again for 2.1 in a week or so.

I just tried to check for OTA updates (mine is from germany) and it said that here was one available. I said OK for it to update, but then I got a message saying "file currupted" or something like that. When I try again it just says that my system is up to date, which it isn't.

Tried http://direct.motorola.com/ENG/SoftwareUpdateSummary.asp?country=GBR&language=ENG &web_page_name=SUPPORT&strCarrierId=&strPhone=MILE STONE&strCable=Micro%20USB%20Data%20Cable&strURL=N o%20URL as linked to in this thread! Worked!

If they get the 2.1 update out within a week or so I will eat my socks! It took them 3-4 months to get 2.01 to the Milestone
