Android 2.1 for Droid
Follow Discussion
Anyone anxious to get android 2.1 for their droid? I think the biggest improvement will be multi-touch. What do you think?
Will this be an option? They still need to work on having bluetooth functionality with txting and voice dialing. A lot of states are starting to crack down on people txting in their car and if I have to look down to dial my phone, I don't want to get busted!
well if you download the gallery app from android 2.1 on to the droid, it has pinch to zoom, which is a nice feature.
Looks like 2.1 update rolling out this week! This may be the push I needed to go ahead and pull the trigger on leaving my WinMo and moving over to Android.
I totally agree. I think multitouch is something the iPod has over their competitors yet i think people are catching on
I'd be happy to get my wifi working consistently.
I think that it will be a big improvement. multitouch is huge in speed to be able to see things better.
it will be interesting to see if motorola includes the gestures for multitouch into the 2.1 upgrade or if we have to wait for an update to the 2.1 version
Need a new phone and I think this is it.
2.1 will be awesome on the Droid, obviously a great improvement, but from the readings i have been doing, i have not heard of any confirmation that the 2.1 update will bring multitouch to the droid, so far only the N1 update will include it.
You gave install a few of the Android 2.1 apps on the DROID here:

They need to come out with 2.1 soon. I don't want to download a bunch of different apps that aren't native and use up memory just to get the 2.1 experience. Plus, I want the animated, interactive backgrounds :)
For a Droid it sure love fruit ever since it came out i just been eating Apples on it way to the top... Droid 2.1 IS HERE..
This is a great phone...my wife has it and I can't wait for my upgrade. 2.1 will be a great addition for this phone. If you root it have they ported 2.1 yet?
I'm having a bit of a conundrum. I'm eligible for my new every two in May so I'm struggling on getting the Moto droid or waiting till the CDMA Nexus One comes out.
AAHHHH!!!
Has anyone heard when 2.1 is going to be available??
I would like to see how this phone performs. but looking forward to it.
I think the Droid is an awesome phone that will only get better with 2.1
I miss my BlackBerry messenger but the space for applications makes up for it. I could only hold a few apps on my BB but the droid seems to be unlimited...so far.
anyone know when the 2.1 update is supposed to come out? it was supposed to be launched the 22nd of jan. but obviously, that didn't happen.
my girlfriend has this phone, I just told her yesterday about the new 2.1 Android update and she was excited about the pinch to zoom for sure. makes her web browsing easier!
What definitely will be on 2.1:

I want one badly, and will be upgrading from the samsung omnia very soon
i think this may be my next phone... i prefer htc and their keyboards... but i dont see any plans to bring an htc android phone with a keyboard to verizon

The Droid looks so awesome with multitouching; now it can hold a candle to the N1 :)
i just like new toys so at least multitouch will be something new to play with
It's great to see Motorola getting back in the phone market. Awesome device.
What's the big hold up? I am sooo anxious to see how 2.1 performs on the Droid!
