And yet, the Motorola DROID’s update to 2.1 is nowhere to be found. Never mind that the Milestone came out after the DROID, because it looks like the European cousin of the Verizon Wireless handset has gone ahead and moved on to the Over-the-Air (OTA) updates that we all know and love. What’s that mean? Basically, it’s no longer stuck in just Hong Kong or Macau regions, and you don’t have to download anything. The update should just roll-out to your device when it’s good and ready.
Users are reporting that they have been given prompts that the update is available to launch. It’s somewhere in the ballpark of 148MB to download, but shouldn’t take too long to download (as long as you’re on WiFi). The update is bringing the coveted Live Wallpapers to the Milestone, along with the nine home panels, some new applications, and Motorola’s Car Home interface, which is specifically designed for usage while in the car. We’re going to have to assume that doesn’t mean you should use it while you’re driving, though. So . . . Don’t.
There isn’t any telling how long it will take to roll out over the other European countries, but the updates seem to be coming in at a steady clip. Where does Canada fit into all of this? We wish we knew. Hopefully someone up in the North will let us know if they’re starting to see the update roll out to them, or if their carriers are being a bit more stingy with the goodness. If you’ve got the official update from Motorola, please let us know what you think.
