Things are not looking good for the Motorola Milestone as Motorola is “undecided” on whether or not to update the Milestone’s firmware to Android 2.2. On the Motorola forum, James King, the marketing director for the European region, stated that all things must be considered before upgrading firmware and that Motorola has yet to decide whether or not they’ll bring Froyo to the handset.
“Next European Milestone and 2.2 (Froyo). I have expressed over the last few days that the decision is pending. The team here has been collating key pieces of information and views from this community in the last month and providing input to relevant teams in Motorola so they are aware. I am pushing for that decision to be made as quickly as possible, and we can then all go from there. Some others ask why the decisions on upgrades take so long, and why does implementation then take much longer still. What I can say and have stated recently is that upgrades are not a walk in the park.
Sure there are short cuts that people can take, but when you have to integrate software to a specific hardware, then test it and integrate with third party applications, let alone any innovation from ourselves, plus then get approvals to make this all official and safe… its is a big undertaking that requires planning and resource and third party coordination to see this all through. As I say, once we have decision, we will inform.” JK
It’s looking like you will receive the update, but not as soon we thought. As soon as someone can crack that bootloader many of you could be enjoying Froyo a lot sooner.
