    *Gets ride of MyTouch 3G*

  2. Wicked1 says:

    Good. That’s all we wanted, a confirmation of an eventual update. We’ll see if my time prediction is right

  3. mike says:

    thank effin god, im getting sick a tired of 1.5

  4. niididy says:

    Better not before the myTouch 3G. I am waiting on some new for the myTouch, try it out with the new os before deciding if I was to stick with it longer (if it runs decent)…else I’d be more dissatisfied and go get another device…nexus one maybe at unlocked price!!

  5. nathan118 says:

    The more often android devices can get upgraded the better. Adding features AFTER you’ve bought the device is awesome….it’s like getting new firmware updates on ps3 and 360. Added bonus that makes people like the OS.

    bout damn time!

    Can I get a w00t w00t?

  8. Orison says:

    Sounds like my late Christmases present, and maybe the best one. Now if only it comes before Easter.

  9. Ritchie says:

    Ifand wait for adobe flash

  10. Jay says:

    This is a great way to start the New Year!…..Thank you Motorola and please bring us some new updates for MotoBlur!……I love it but Id really like to see some new features…..2.1 could not come any sooner…..Cliq owners rejoice!

  11. Wilma Flintstone says:

    Great, this just proves that the X10 is completely capable of running Android 2.1. Yay, X10 will be mine!!!

  12. Jason says:

    Will the mytouch get an upgrade also??

  13. jordan says:

    Can’t wait so happy!!

  14. FILA says:

    What da fuck man, why them first. what happened to MT3G? Come on, its ok, T-mobile will be making announcements very soon within 2 months. Remember 2 cell shows comign in Feb and March

  15. Clarke says:

    TMobile has no control over whether the Cliq gets 2.1 before the MT3G… Motorola does the firmware development for the Cliq… and either Tmobile or HTC does it for the MT3G…

  16. Liam says:

    Good to hear. Hope the processor can handle it. My Cliq seems slow as is. Loading it with 2.1 might be a trojan horse.

    Either way, my Nexus comes tomorrow so goodbye Cliq.

  17. MichMan says:

    It’s not a real surprise – it’s what I expected. They’ll release a Cliq update whenever they release a new motoblur phone, as that phone will run the latest android version. The dev’s have already most of the work, all you need to do is push it out to the other devices. It’s really more of a test cost than a dev cost at that point.

  18. Trill says:

    Google is responsible for all updates unless its regarding a custon UI such as Sens or Motoblur. Tmobile part in this is just distributing and nothing more so stop complaining and do more research.

    • Liam says:

      Trill is right. Google might give Motorola the 2.1 framework but it’s Motorola’s job to work on a version that will work with MotoBlur so you can thank them for the delay. T-Mobile really has nothing to do with the OTA updates.

    • JakeMG says:

      This is true…but…it’s been confirmed that the Magic (on Rogers) in Canada is definitely getting the upgrade (in the form of being converted to Sense running 1.6, then Sense with 2.1). I just would like that confirmation from Tmo that US MT3G customers will definitely get the update as well. It’s possible for us to have it on the MT3G, but Tmo will not confirm that they plan to push the update.

  19. supaspydaman says:

    I jumped and screamed when I saw this headline. Bout damn time!

  20. Andrew says:

    Here’s a tip for all you cliq users experiencing sluggish response. Take the messaging widget off your home screens, it saved me so much heart ache.

    • chebus says:

      moterolla better do a damn googd job joining Moto blur and 2.1, I mean the cliq can bearlly handle blur with its battery life right.

    • chebus says:

      Motorola better do a damn good job joining Moto blur and 2.1, I mean the cliq can barely handle blur with its battery life right.

  21. superdroid 313 says:

    Does anybody have an estimate date on when cliq will be sent the ota update?

  22. Cephas says:

    They really need to put out a definite date on ANY android build update. This is ridiculous. The itch to root my phone is getting worse and worse. Roms for the Cliq are already out with 2.1 that work well

  23. John F. says:

    Yup, Gitty Up, Rawhide….

  24. dizznutt says:

    About time…I kind like the cliq but I got my eyes on the Nexus. like the bigger screen.

  25. ne says:

    I’m late to the party ..WOOT WOOT!!

  26. Brandon says:

    On January 12, Motorola announced a future update to Android 2.1 on the Motorola CLIQ. The availability date has not yet been announced.

  27. Kendrix_myrealname says:

    Why is motorola on a roll again? They’re days were numbered with the Razr and Razr 2. My MyTouch needs updating bad!! I hate lags. I don’t care much for the Cliq but I would so get one for the keyboard at this point. The G1 is just too dated for me, sorry. Plus the camera is ultra crisp. Anyone want to trade?

  28. Stacyrocks says:

    YAY!!!!! I only had to bear the outdated Android 1.5 for 3 weeks so far. I sure hope “in the future” and “soon” means this month… or the latest by Valentine’s Day! :)

  29. shawn1224 says:

    I hope this means the Behold 2 will be getting soon as well.

    Samsung needs to get off their ass and get on it.

  30. Anonimo says:

    Why? Dont put android 2.0 in the mytocuh3g and why tmobile dont put 3g network in puerto rico

  31. Cubanheat says:

    Bout time, & yes i am thrilled, but the ADOBE FLASH IS WAT I REALLY WANT!!!! Motorola please keep up with all updates????

  32. aeth says:

    Everyone that’s complaining about the myt 3g not upgrading well its already 1.6 cupcake as the cliq is 1.5 os. It needs a upfrade. And for your cliq complainers about battery life get a file task manager astro or advanced task manager work great it runs always and you can turn of all apps you don’t want running if your cliqs sluggish then its a must need if you don’t believe me hold down the home key till a window pops up and that’s what’s running programs that you probaly didn’t know where running. Email me with any other qeustions to luniz1979@yahoo.com

  33. seth says:

    My last message messed my name up but email me at luniz1979@yahoo.com with any qeustions with cliq etc… I may help I’m a well of info believe me. I have a website but to be frank the website is being overwhelmed to here’s your chance. Seth

  34. alex says:

    i heard january 22

  35. Jordan (Cincinnati) says:

    well if you heard the 22nd we shall see what happens today then

  36. anonimo says:

    nutting yet it 1:35 am no updates…. ugh i am getting sick of waiting

  37. misha says:

    Oh well, not much we can do, right? DEMAND an update for the Cliq? And is it true that Blur interferes with updating the android OS? Anyone with expertise in this area?

  38. iam says:

    Does anyone know the release date?

    It doesn’t look like it’s going to happen if Motorola isn’t telling anyone. I would think that the company would want to create a buzz about the update. I’m disappointed with having an outdated phone and will make sure that I look at a different manufacturer next time when I purchase a phone so I’m not stuck like this again. Live and learn!

    Bye Bye Moto :wave:

  39. kddupcak says:

    patience my grasshoppers!! Your cliq will be great one day soon! I have a rooted g1 and a cliq and I LOVE the cliq so far. Take off all your widgets and it should be fine. I have all my apps running and I still have an average of 64-98megs of system memory. Try that even with a rooted g1 with apps on sd and you still only get 20 megs average. So relax, anticipation is such a great drug!!

  40. CRAIG says:

    Wow! Valentines is coming! Thanks for the Post, great job!

  41. Jason says:

    Well, Feb 1st is here and still no 2.1 update. I checked 3 times throughout Jan 31-Feb 1st. Crappy!!!!!

  42. Patrick says:

    Here’s the link I got on the Cliq getting 2.1 . It tells you a bit more but not a when.

  43. Jason says:

    I read from Motorola on facebook that the 2.1 update for droid is coming this week. yay!!!

  44. Tai says:

    The word on the block is that the update for the Motorola cliq will be released the first or second week of April! woot woot!
