It got a single major update (from Android 1.5 to 2.1). Which was delayed from three months after the phone came out to seven. And software support stopped immediately after said update.
Compare that to the HTC Evo, which just recently got an update to 2.3, over a year after the phone was released.
EDIT: I should also mention that the phone and its drivers were incredibly buggy, even after the 2.1 update. The GPS was the worst- the only way anyone even got it working long-term was to port over a driver from the Intercept.
- ZoFreX 15y agoJust be glad you didn't pick a Motorola Milestone.
- CrazedGeek 15y agoOut of curiosity, why? Wikipedia mentions a constantly-delayed 2.2 update, but from what I've heard, the Droid/Milestone is a very good phone, updates or not.
- ZoFreX 15y agoIn the UK I'm extra-unfortunate as no carrier picked it up, so we were all scratching our heads as the update got delayed for months for "carrier testing". The update made an absolutely huge difference, living without it was painful and apart from the huge delay, Motorola's handling of the situation was just terrible, their interactions with customers and the information they were giving out was all just very badly managed.
- CrazedGeek 15y agoEek, that's pretty bad. At least I had both Sprint and Samsung to bitch at.
