Official: Android 2.1 Update Now Available
The first phone to be officially upgraded to the Android 2.1 operating system is the Samsung Galaxy Spica (also known as the Galaxy Portal) one day after Verizon posted websites indicating that the Motorola Droid will be seeing it's 2.1 update "soon."
New handsets will include the updated operating system while existing owners can upgrade through Samsung's proprietary PC Studio 7 software (available at http://www.samsungmobile.com). The upgrade is available in Germany and Samsung has detailed that it will be gradually rolled out to other European markets, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Asia, Africa and rest of the world (Antarctica and Americas.)
Motorola Droid owners are shaking their heads in disapproval and perhaps a little misplaced jealousy as the Samsung incantation of Android Eclair will sport no less than nine screens (Droid has three). The Galaxy Spica will also experience some additional multimedia improvements over and above it's current ability to play divx files (which Droid doesn't). The new media browser permits user to easily browse through Media files stored on the memory card and updates to the camera software promise 'enhanced picture options and viewing functionality.'

2.1 FOR THE US PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did they not see that Verizon is going to start rolling out 2.1 on the moto droid tomorrow?
Literally I just got off the phone with Verizon for registering my replacement and i asked when will the Verizon Driod be getting the 2.1 update. The rep told me their tools had the date removed but she kept telling stating “it will be out really really really … really soon”. So if what said is right Verizon Droid Users will soon be enjoying 2.1 as well
Verizon Droid users will get their update tomorrow.
here ya go Droid folks””’

It’s all a day late and a dollar short. Tomorrow Verizon will supposedly be sending a small number of updates, out and then see how that goes. This weekend if all goes well they will start to send the 2.1 update to the masses.
Still doesn’t change Samsung snuck in and updated their device first
If the update does not happen soon I will just pay out to have my servise disconcected. I want my bluetooth to work. I have the samsung moment. At first I loved it. Then it stared to crash. So I took it in they fixed it . It worked for 2 weeks then froze up aging. Put simply I love it when it wants to work.
