Of course the Moto Droid would get upgraded first... oh well, i would hope this means the Eris will be no more than 1-2 more weeks after like the other updates.

Wow, it says it will be rolled out in batches of 250,000.  Makes me wonder just how many droids there are out there.  Would the second batch have to wait till all 250,000 of the first batch downloaded the update?  How does this work exactly?

Does anyone know if 2.1 for Eris will allow you to use the bluetooth headset for voice activated dialing?

2.1 might or might not fix this issue. We simply still don't know till we get the actual release.

What are the "issues" and what is this "upgrade"? Clueless....in Fla.

as far as i know the 2.1 OTA will be quite lack-luster considering theres no flash, no new launcher, and no improved bluetooth the whole point of 2.1 was to be a "FEATURE" release not a bug patch ya live wallpapers, big whoop already got that and its most likely faster than the one in this update boo on VZW and boo on Moto for turning a potentially awesome update into what is essentially a gimmick patch.

Not a Moto Droid user, but generally "point number" releases (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc...) are bugfix releases and "whole number" releases (2.0, 3.0, 4.0) are the major feature release. Droid users are already running 2.0, so there probably won't be a quantum leap when the OTA hits your phone...

 

For us Eris users running 1.5, when we get 2.1, we will be getting a bigger leap forward getting what you already have had from 2.0 and the patches and improvements that 2.1 adds to it.

So, JayJay1122, what feature updates will Eris users see in this update?  Do you know?
