Droid 2.1 update *is* coming…PSYCH!

What a tangled blogosphere we weave when first we practice to break leaks. it wasn’t even a leak, really, when Motorola announced via their Facebook fan page that 2.1 would be rolling out sometime this week. In fact, it seems like it was just one manifestation of a company-wide temporary case of Tourette.

There was a page posted in Moto’s FAQ that detailed what users would find in the update, and perhaps more importantly, what they wouldn’t. That page is gone now and I’m starting to wonder if the early withdrawal was a response to public complaints about the lack of 2.1′s new app drawer and live wallpaper. As of now, only the Nexus One has those features and it seems like there’s a pretty good chunk of folks (granted, the unhappy few often speak loudest) don’t think it’s fair for Google to reserve some Android features for their own phones. Is it really that big a deal? Anyway, with Mobile World Congress about to kick off, perhaps Moto just brought the hammer down on a couple of anxious folks with loose lips.

I would like to see those things with Droid's 2.1 update (live wallpapers and 3D apps drawer). But I don't like whats going on because of we, the droid owners, are getting a dumbed down version of 2.1. My phone and 2.0.1 are great, but it's the morale value. Just give us 2.1 with all of the features, the only difference between them giving me it and me giving my phone a new rom, is it being stable.

This coming from google and motorola i am not surprised there is no money in it for them.Look at googles famed nexus one 3G psych

Well another one bites the dust. I just sold my Cliq thanks to Motorola yet again. Looks like the management and mentality has not changed. Motorola has tried to capture the wireless market but you can't do that if the same people are at the helm calling all the shots. Maybe for a change, they should take the users opinions into consideration instead of listening to their wallets cry more, more. more. This is a perfect recipe for eventual failure.
