Why Do I Have To Wait?

Gingerbread is out, tech support and store reps state I should be able to get the update...

I am concerned with all the negative posts about the update....

Verizon is suspsosed to be super huge and awesome network....what makes some people more eligible than others. I think this is poor practice and unfair to customers who pay top dollar for so called top of the line serivce.

I still love verizone, but I'm tired of "Your device is up to date"

Amen!

 

Had to replace my Droid 2 Global under warranty.  Replaced phone had Gingerbread successfully updated.  Replacement phone has 2.2, but says it's "Up to Date"

 

Funny how none of the official forum moderators have any reply to this issue.

in order to keep from overloading the network they stagger the update

I don't think you know what you're talking about.

 

Verizon has pulled the Gingerbread update for Droid 2 Global phones.  See http://support.verizonwireless.com/system_update/droid_2_global.html 

 

So, I'm asking for someone KNOWLEDGEABLE to tell me when that update is coming back again.

To who are you responding? I've seen that page before...but I have to say, if its still pulled then there needs to be better communication when techs and store reps say its available and it turly is not.

If this poor communication is ture, its time for verizon to get their act together...and to you verizone board posters, I don't want to sign up for silly email updates. A blanket message should go out about an update and one should be able to opt out and/or pull it directly. I think the intertubes and space cam handle an update as much as it can handle the worlds porn downloads

Hello to you MarkInGR, and to all other community members that have replied to this post! MarkInGR, I know that you would rather not have gotten a replacement with 2.2. My personal phone is also a Droid 2 Global. I was one of the few to receive the 2.3 update. My wife also owns the D2G. She didn't receive that software update. At this point, we are still considering 2.2 to be the most recent operating system, with the intention to continue to work toward more updates as needed. In the meantime, thanks so much for being so patient!
