Just one month after the release of the Motorola Droid, the first software patch has arrived. Verizon has just begun distributing the OTA update – so if you aren’t seeing the update alert already, you should be seeing it before too long.

First things first, make sure your device is up to at least a 40% charge (or 20%, if it’s currently plugged into a power source), as you won’t be able to upgrade otherwise. After that, it’s just a matter of waiting around for the update to land on your device – or if you’re feelin’ antsy, try manually updating (”Home” > “Menu” > “Settings” > “About phone” > “System updates”).

Check after the jump for the change log.

x OS stability is improved.
x Battery life is improved.
x Camera auto focus functionality is improved, and time between shots is reduced.

  • That you have a few short days after a launch is a litany of problems plaguing devices in the field, but it is not entirely what yesterday – listen instead of this, which is an extension of Verizon are known political shit since devices testing are practically Uncle wines to the manufacturer. The carrier has already generated internal questions about the DROIDEN long lists and DROIDEN Eris, it seems documents removed revealing for the HTC one of the five pages for Motorola product and seven – Yes, be-; the good news is that you all are provided in one of two updates firmware, which provided to resolve Windows for December and January. Remained again know Verizon this firmware updated could obtain very well in the laboratory test for six years, but we will keep skyward our hopes.

  • "A robot is a thing that does…" Verizon / Google / Motorola are taking their ad onslaught to new heights and in a new direction, with three new ads (which will hit "soon," according to our tipster), two of which actually show off Android functionality. It’s a bold new vision for a hyperbole-filled, guytastic campaign which shows no sign of letting up, and seems more than anything to be the complete antithesis to Palm’s coma-inducing spots instead of an antidote for Apple’s everyhipster sensibilities.

  • If you go to a Verizon store today and get a droid, you will be from $ 300 (before taxes) from his pocket, then you cross your fingers for a few weeks while you wait for a mysterious box in Texas twiddle Send your $ 100 rebate on a debit card. Would not you prefer to pay only $ 200 in advance? Or better yet, $ 150? Sears – More of this gadget »

     
    After weeks of construction, the day has come: the DROID (HTC and her boyfriend, the DROID Eris) is now available for sale on the Verizon website. As expected, the new flagship of Motorola, they are given $ 200 to $ 100 online discount and two-year commitment, while his underhyped Bro Eris is a penny shy of $ 100 after rebate and with exhaustion contract. If you are then on your contractual obligations to raise more than $ 560 in non-green Android for the manual option to go month to month.[Via Gearlog]

  • If the Motorola DROID debut in Verizon Wireless stores in the morning on Friday, a Nice little feature that is not apparently connected, because the calculation using your laptop on the run, when the Android 2.0 interface simply do not intersect. We are virtually certain that the lack of functionality does not require a reduction of the early adopter crowd too, but if you are so inclined, VZW Digital confirmed that its Broadband Connect "plan attached was reached device, but it was not until early 2010. Well, how about Motorola muscles and / or Google for some of that double finger pointing will be pampered in our beautiful European friends?
    We’ve already had to be chosen by the rumor that Verizon Wireless stores will be cracking open their doors to hear rapid response to the alleged influx of consumers, "GASP people" eager to 2.0, the first Android device, and this is the right carrier to the official data. We are told that "many" more than 2,000 retail stores, or 7 or 8 hours of the clock in the command box corresponding to the DROID opens, even if the center of VZW stores are all open at the usual time.

  • The GSM version of Motorola or DROID milestone, as it is known in Europe, has built-in multi-touch user interface. For reasons we can only assume something of the intellectual property a tacit agreement between Google and Apple, not wanting the U.S. version of the user interface multi-touch functions such as emergency-to-zoom, even if the operating system underlying supports multiple touch events, 2.0. But the video of a GSM DROID headed to Europe clearly shows this feature during the 3-hour.[Via SlashGear]
