Motorola BACKFLIP and CLIQ get US-only Android 2.1 update

11 November, 2010
Before you go crazy, let's be clear the Android 2.1 Eclair update is meant only for the US BACKFLIP and CLIQ. Both ROMs are already available via Motorola's support sections and all US users can upgrade right now...

I'm tired of this. Everything for the USA. Well, i want to say something. They are NOT the only country in the world! Wake up people. I'm from Argentina, and it's really dissapointing for me. Now, i'm not sure to buy this phone. Thanks motorola!

    Praveen, 12 Nov 2010Motorola should release 2.1 update for india, other wise ev... more People have purchased backflip after knowing that it will be updated to 2.1, now if they come to know that it will not be updated, a lot of problems will arise, I am a motorola promoter, and I have sold many handsets, now daily customers are coming and shouting using foul language, some have even threatened with dire consequences, so please I request your goodself to release 2.1 update of backflip in india at the earliest. Thanking You.

              Anonymous, 15 Nov 2010i hope that motorola will act positively to this article!! ... moreBut then when Moto made "several" updates for Milestone users...who apparently DO NOT LIVE in US (officially there is no "Milestone" in US, only Droid), starting with 2.0.1 in Jan, 2.1 in April, 2.1 Update in June, why somebody chose to shut its mouth?

              How about the I?music brand? Released its "top of the line" phone which cost at least US$100 more than Milestone in April with "1.6", and it took the company til Oct (if not later in some areas) to get so called "update", without features like multi-touch?

They have been extremely disappointing in most parts of the world except the US. We just got the outdated milestone, lol , at the same time as the fabulous htc desire hd! Motorola need to make better phones and update them quickly unlike the dext and backflip which are still stuck on 1.5... gsmarena are right to say think twice, or even not think about it at all when deciding to buy motofail devices, coz they simply are not worth the money.

                  [deleted post]So tell me if you buy a phone in Finland and then go back to US, and something goes wroing with your phone, would the company in Finland ship you a new unit?

                  Be grateful to hear your experience.

                    [deleted post]Why would you need more than one address to post here unless they know your trolling. Thats what your doing and even I know that.

                    Why are you blaming the site shouldnt you be blaming the mods and admins. I guess you didnt read the fine print on the bottom of the page.

                        Gsmarena do not like motorola we know that. for example droid 2 global is released, droid x is going mexico and india as motoroi x, moto dogz 4g 1.2ghz, super lcd, front camera, android 2.3 reveled still nothing post by gsmarena still we believe droid 2 global, milestone 2 hd, droid x, droid pro, moto defy, moto dogz and droid terminator will make moto more stable in 2011 due to the quality of those handset that are almost unbeatable by other brands.

                            gsmarena is talking about the people who r suffering n n being deprived of something even after paying as much as the americans paying. How come that is biased?

                                "Whatever the real reasons for this, we are sure Motorola did leave lots of users disappointed. Surely they will think twice before buying another Moto smartphone."

                                you call this biased reporting? how do you think will motorola react should they know about this article?
