MiLESTONE root update. DROiD is not alone, updated #3.
Yes… It’s been a crazy few weeks for me, I wanted to update the status of the MiLESTONE / DROiD root.
The good news regarding this is, that Motorola has confirmed that the update is coming in January 2010. Witch means a few more weeks of winter for us European users. It’s fun to see that due to verizons support of the best Google phone (available now, as of dec. 09) leaves the unsupported phone ( MiLESTONE ) with out updates ( The European model also lacks by Google logo on it. It’s just another motorla phone… ffs : ( ) . There are many known bugs, but Motorola officials on moto forum have not said the exact release date for the update, but when i emailed the support they assured me that it’s coming. Just a shame, since the both models are the same, only with a different radio ( oh and did i mention that the European version has _no_ customization at all, so no verizon/amazon apps on the phone, that we PC users call bloat-ware ).
On the other hand, the HTC Passion ( also known as firestone / Google Nexus One), which i also dreamed of instead of the DROiD just like the htc hd2, seems to be coming in January. 500+ USD for the unsubsidized version, a bit better screen than the DROiD [ A855 ] / Milestone [ A853 ] and the all powerful snapdragon 1ghz processor. Only time will tell. There’s an Google Android event on the 5th of January. Maybe only 2.1 update? ( Maybe this is also the reason why Motorola waited? *hint*pray*hint* ). Who knows, Also there will be the CES in january, where motorola is probably gonna introduce the Shoeles tablet version. Fun to see how much has happened in a week. Let’s see what the new year brings ; )
[Update2] Engadget got their own Nexus One to review and the Nexus One rom that has been floating around the internet, has been rooted… confirmed by some of google phone users. Damn.
I can’t wait for it, to all of you, have a _shiny_ new year!
[EDiT] It seems that Motorola is planing a nice 4.3″ touch screen device, unfortunately it’s just unclear which os it will have, since the mock-ups remind me of the old UIQ (SonyEricsson) devices : )
