Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 23 Aug 2010 11:34 User comments (1)

Motorola has released their official Android upgrade schedule, giving some long-time owners a set timetable for updates to their smartphone operating system.

A few of the devices are still running Android 1.6, or even 1.5, and are in desperate need of an update.

Unfortunately, most of the devices listed will not be getting an upgrade to 2.2 Froyo.

The schedule:

North America
Droid X by Motorola (USA): Upgrade to Android 2.2 planned for late summer
Devour (USA): Will not have a software upgrade to Android 2.1
Backflip, Cliq and Cliq XT (USA): Upgrade to Android 2.1 (testing in process) planned for late Q3/early Q4
All Android 2.1 and 2.2 upgrades for Canada are under evaluation only. This includes the Backflip, Dext, Milestone, Quench

Europe
Milestone: Initial rollout of upgrade to Android 2.2 planned for Q4
Backflip and Dext: Will not have software upgrades to Android 2.1

Asia-Pacific
Milestone, Motoroi and Titanium (all Korea): Initial rollout of upgrades to Android 2.2 planned for Q4
Milestone (Asia-Pacific): Upgrade to Android 2.2 under evaluation
Backflip, Dext and Quench (all Asia-Pacific): Upgrades to Android 2.1 under evaluation

Latin America and Mexico
Milestone: Upgrade to Android 2.2 under evaluation
Backflip and Dext: Will not have software upgrades to Android 2.1

If you don't want to wait, you can always just root your device and throw a ROM on their.

It is this kind of crap that Android's "Open Source Platform" claimed to prevent. It really sickens me that google seems to want to kill their own product through lack of support...google needs to get to work writing their own drivers and kernels, so that when they release gingerbread, they can release it to everyone at once, without any of the "MotoBlur" or "HTC Sense" crap.
