I wonder who the select group is.... post an update if you get it!Well that was fast. Soon after we posted the official Android 2.1 change log for the DROID did the folks over at Android Central get their hands on an internal Verizon memo that mentions update ESE53 will be “rolled out in stages via OTA starting 3/18 at 12PM EST” (obviously someone at Verizon didn’t get the EDT vs EST memo). The update will supposedly be sent out in groups of 250,000 meaning the vast majority of DROID users will have to sit tight until they’re randomly selected, but we have to imagine the lucky few will be eternally grateful for being selected first, if only because it gives them something to do other than focus on their raging St. Patrick’s Day hangover.
UPDATE: Verizon hit us up to confirm that the Android 2.1 OS update will roll out to a “select small group” of users Thursday and expand to everyone soon enough.

I don't have it yet. Although I have a Nokia phone running Symbian. That's probably why.

looks like it is finally starting to go out. shouldnt start to reach the majority of the population until the 1st though from what i hear.
and gut, from what it sounds like, its a slightly different version that you may be running.

If you don't want to wait, you can apply the ESE81 update on your phone using this link:

2.1 has been a nice update on my Eris.

I don't think it would blow up your phone but there is always a chance it might turn it into a paper weight.bases_loaded wrote: Im not sure I wanna risk blowing my phone up...just gonna wait for the OTA...
