Motorola DROID getting full featured firmware update soon
I had a chance last weekend to spend a bit of time with the Motorola Droid from Verizon Wireless and was impressed by the display and solid form factor. I didn't think the keyboard was that great and prefer the HTC Sense flavor of the Android OS. Those of you who own the Verizon Droid will be pleased to know that a firmware update should start rolling out today that address a ton of issues, as listed on the Android Central website and copied below.
These are some what is coming in the update:
- Improved OS stability
- Improved battery life
- Camera's autofocus is improved, time between shots is reduced
- Three-way calling enhancements
- Incoming call quality is improved
- Speakerphone remains on when call waiting kicks in
- Better Bluetooth, background echo eliminated, improved phone book transfer of contacts to in-vehicle systems
- GPS icon will disappear after a GPS app is closed
- SMS and MMS messages can be received after an EMS message is received
- SMS and MMS can now go to seven-digit addresses
- Google contact merging supports seven-digit numbers
- Visual Voice Mail notices arrive instantly
- Corporate calendar widget is updated
There are some excellent improvements here with this update that I am sure everyone will appreciate.
