backflip os updates
This the latest news I got on the OS updates for the Motorola Backflip.
The software update (13.37) has been approved. When we spoke last, I mentioned that had we actually submitted a second update that further improves SMS performance which slightly delayed the TA of the load.
The new software patch is being pushed out as we speak and should have already began hitting handsets. Keep in mind, not all handsets will receive the upgrade immediately. It is a ramp up process that should take no more than a few weeks.
All handsets that are being sold in store have the newest load and have had it for a good week or so
. There is also a
$20 price reduction to $79.99 retail with a 2 year that was effective nationally yesterday.
For Android 2.1, we are still targeting Q3. As soon as I have a more solid timeline, I will make sure to share it.
