HOw is the New Motorola Droid does it have any Flaws
I've used the Motorola Droid on several occasions, and I must admit that it is a pretty strong competitor to the Apple iPhone. However, after reading my pros and cons list, you will see why I would choose the iPhone over the Droid any day.
Here is a video tour of the Motorola DROID, complete with unboxing!
After delaying the Android 2.1 update rollout for Motorola Droid users, Verizon has finally begun pushing the software to its subscribers. Sadly, it’s a very slow processor and less than 10,000 users received Android 2.1 so far. The good thing is that you shouldn’t wait for Verizon to push the software update as you can manually upgrade to Android 2.1! How? Simple, all the details are below. First of all you should know that you don’t need to root your Droid and this is the same package that Verizon will send to you, although the file is stored on Google’s servers.
How to manually update your Motorola Droid to Android 2.1:
Download this file and do NOT unzip it; Rename the file to “update.zip” without the ” marks; Take out the microSD card from your Droid; Plug the microSD card into a computer using a card reader, and then drag&drop the file on the microSD card. Do not put the update.zip file into a folder or something, just putAs MobileBurn points out, the update is gradually rolling out to Verizon customers over the air, with everyone expected to be upgraded to Android 2.1 before next week.
If you can’t wait any longer though, we have a step-by-step guide for you to follow, which takes around three minutes if you know what you are doing.
Credit goes to DROID-Life for the tutorial – plenty of DROID owners will be needing this we reckon. If you want to give it a try, you’ll find the link below, let us know if it worked for you, so others can follow.
