01 Jul 10 Motorola Delays Android 2.1 Update Indefinitely
Motorola has indefinitely delayed the Android 2.1 update for the T-Mobile Cliq and Cliq XT. Despite a scheduled update release by the second quarter (which incidentally is about this time), Motorola announces that “testing in process”.
In case you are wondering, that is short of saying that the update is not coming yet anytime soon. Well, I guess it is better to wait rather than release an update that may lead to more problems. Remember the HTC EVO 4G update that “bricked” a lot of handsets?
