For those folks who were saying, “I’ll get the new Verizon DROID after the first update is out,” well its that time.
Verizon has released a mandatory update for all DROID users, bringing them from version 2, to 2.01.
According to our friends at JKOnTheRun, here is what is updated:
- OS stability is improved.
- Battery life is improved.
- Camera auto focus functionality is improved, and time between shots is reduced.
- Enhancements for three-way calling.
- Audio for incoming calls is improved.
- When receiving a call on call waiting, the speakerphone now remains on.
- Bluetooth functionality is improved; background echo is eliminated.
- Improved Bluetooth phone book transfer of contacts to in-vehicle Bluetooth solutions.
- After closing a GPS application, the GPS icon will now automatically be removed from the notification panel.
- Users can now receive SMS and MMS messages after an EMS message is received.
- SMS and MMS may now be sent to seven-digit addresses.
- Google contact merging has been updated to accommodate seven-digit numbers.
- Visual Voice Mail notices now arrive instantaneously.
- The corporate calendar widget user interface is updated.
This sounds like a win for every DROID user. It will fix a lot of the complaints registered on their online forums.
The official update site is here, complete with directions.
