Android 2.1 leaks for Motorola Droid

As many Droid owners know, Motorola promised the Android 2.1 update was coming “this week” which later turned into coming soon. No further updates have been provided since then, but someone leaked a near final firmware (which is expected to be used for the upcoming OTA update).

Kellex from Droid Life was brave enough to flash the leaked ROM on his Droid and found the performance to be improved.

Android 2.1 spied on the Motorola Milestone (Droid)

Motorola announced during CES that their CLIQ (Dext) and Droid (Milestone) phones would be updated to Android 2.1, but we have yet to receive a time frame.  Enough people have been asking Motorola about the update that they responded on Twitter:

“Guys, we’re sorry; we know you are excited about 2.1 updates to your Moto Android-based products, but we can’t comment on official timing.”

There are rumors that the latest Android 2.1 build was in beta testing and now some screens have leaked out. German site MobiFlip has posted the first screens of Android 2.1 running on the Motorola Milestone (Droid). They refer to the update as 2.0.2, but the screens show firmware version 2.1 .
