The Droid Android 2.1 Update Coming Someday… Maybe March 18
March 16th, 2010 by K. T. Bradford 
This was promised weeks ago then cruelly yanked away. Now it looks like the Android 2.1 update for the Droid is almost a reality. The folks over at Android Central spotted this PDF on Verizon’s site detailing the wonders of 2.1 and a link to step-by-step instructions on how to perform the upgrade.
However, there’s no official date for when Verizon will push 2.1 to phones, though it looks like all Droid owners will be required to get it. There’s also no indication of how to trigger the update manually on Verizon’s website, but I’m sure that’s forthcoming from the more adventurous owners out there.
Update: according to commenter Corey, a Verizon rep said that the company would start pushing the update at 12AM this Thursday, March 18th. Less than 48 hours!
Thanks, Corey!
