Way back in January, Motorola’s CEO promised that his company would push out an update to the Motorola DROID smartphone so it would be updated from Android 2.0.1 to Android 2.1. Though it’s just a dot release, 2.1 brings a lot of new features, specifically multi-touch in the Web Browser and Picture Gallery (check the official list of updates here).
Since then, Motorola prematurely announced the availability of the update on two separate occasions — first in February, and then again in Mid-March. Yesterday, it finally went out to a small group of DROID owners. Sadly though, you’ll have to wait your turn to receive the update. Instead of pushing the update out to everyone, the updates are staggered over the course of a few days. Luckily, one of the users in the lucky group that was first to get the update has posted the file online so everyone can bathe in its goodness.
So now Motorola DROID owners, it’s time for to make a life choice.
Life Choice 1:
Wait days on end for a notification to pop up on your phone that the Android 2.1 update is available to download and install.
Life Choice 2:
Take matters into your own hands and follow Droid-Life.com’s walkthrough on how to install the official Android 2.1. I followed the walkthrough this morning for my DROID, the entire process takes about five minutes and zero effort.
