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 never buying a motorola product ever again. They promise the dext will get 2.1 yet only give it to us customers and they haven't even bothered to give a reason! So now I'm stuck with a rubbish phone running 1.5 and I'm on contract so I can't upgrade. Next time I will definitely chose htc

          Anonymous, 12 Nov 2010watever you say moto fanboy. HTC have great hardware and so... moreThe Droid series is actually pretty good. Hell, the Droid X can stand up to the Evo 4G and the Galaxy S quite well too.

          And please don't spew ignorance when in fact YOU CAN update to 2.1, at least unofficially. Root your phone, flash a 2.1 ROM (with or without MotoBlur) and be done with it.

              Momfer, 12 Nov 2010I will indeed think twice this US vs Rest of world has to s... moreOf course. And people don't understand why people from "Rest of the World" are bashing Motorola?

              I'm still satisfied with my Milestone (european). I bought it knowing all the drawbacks and good things about it. That's why I still like it. But I know that most people from LA and Asia won't get their updates before next year.

              And Dext/Cliq/Backflip? If they're not from US you're doomed with 1.5 forever, at least officially. And then you don't even try to access the market anymore (most apps 1.6+). And you see those statistics about 1.5 fading. It's fading only in the Market, and because of it, not despite of it !

              And let's not count that even in US Motorola is bashing the geek community with the locked boots, something everyone from "Rest of the World" knows since the days of the Milestone.

              Oh well... I need to go HTC next time I guess.

                  Anonymous, 12 Nov 2010(well the article is telling the truth anyway. all brands h... moreMotorola DOES NOT beat HTC. You clearly do not know what your talking about.

                  Droid Pro...big freaking deal everybody knows Motorola favors Verizon over AT&T & T-Mobile. Also on another thing how does Motorola beat HTC when HTC actually communicates with this customers rather than Motorola keeping quiet. When was the last time HTC or another company pulled a Motorola and waited until the last hour to delay an update or wait 3 months to give any news?

                  Funny how you totally ignored his point on what people do with their phones and said oh motorola best in battery life which is a bunch of crock. I think you should go an make an account on the Motorola Support Forums and say that and see if people on that site think will think you're crazy

                    If anybody says motorola is the best or first in anything after this stunt they pulled with the cliq, cliq xt and the backflip needs to get their head checked or they're just that stupid and know no better.

HTC have great hardware and software, that's why they are so popular atm, selling heaps of phones and earning amazing profits. Desire HD is getting great reviews aswell.

                      How bout moto, not first in almost anything, crap software and hardware is just ok and don't talk about droid watever which has not even been released yet, i dun care about ti omap processor blah blah, talk when it's actually released and reviewed.

                            i don't think motorola have the best hardware at all, the backflip and dext are terribly made phones.

                            battery capacity often depends on how much the users use the phone anyway.

                            and motorola better than htc? lol ur funny. All brands> moto)



                            well, just look at droid pro of motorola man, and the beast, not to mention motorola is always, well almost always, first about everything...
                            yes, motorola is better than htc, htc may have good hardware but the downside is the battery life, and that's where motorola beats htc, of course along with having a gpu too, and the ti omap processors which are better than snapdragon, and of course the upcoming tegra 2 of motorola...
                            motorola is the best
