Motorola Dext, Quench & Backflip May Receive Android 2.1 Update

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Over the last few months, Telus, Rogers, and Bell each launched one of Motorola’s new Android-powered devices. Telus launched the Backflip, Rogers launched the Quench, and Bell launched the Dext.

Aside from having MOTOBLUR in common, each device also had Android 1.5. As many know, Android 1.5 severely limits a device’s potential and is already an obsolete operating system. Well, there is some good news from Motorola on the OS front.

Motorola has constructed an update schedule for Android 2.1 and the Dext, Quench, and Backflip are all on the list as devices “under evaluation” to receive the Android OS 2.1 update.

We know you value having the latest and greatest technology on your devices. We are working very closely with Google and our carrier partners to bring you the most optimized experience on each of our smartphones powered by Android; this means appropriately releasing both operating system upgrades and software maintenance updates which enhance device functionality.

At this time, there are no definitive dates and the whole thing could just end without any devices receiving the updates, but if Motorola goes through with the update, how great would that be?!

So owners of the Dext, Quench, or Backflip, what do you think about this?
