2.1 V2 for the Milestone [Only Greece for the moment]

Since the 2.1 update, I've been thinking the Android devs from Motorola was a bit "stupid" (maybe a too strong word ...). Or they was putting everything on the Droid and just 2 or 3 dudes for the Milestone ...
Maybe I'm wrong, but listen to that : they will release a 2.1 V2 for the Milestone (look at the Motorola Europe Facebook page), now, to fix some bug ... It could be good, but 3 month before ... Why now ? They've got 2.2 now, so why still trying to fix bug on a 2.1 instead of moving on the 2.2 ?
The update doesn't seem to be released yet, but it will be soon ...
Update
They made a mistake, it's only for Greece, other version should be out soon
Ok, so here’s the deal: apologies for the earlier
update, some eager people jumped the gun. We confirm FOTA update
for Greece is available now for the latest Milestone software
enhancements and MSU will follow in the future. Poland, Netherlands
& other European countries will also roll out in the future and
we will update when these are ready. Update & install details available on
the Discussion tab.

today i got from ota the update to the 2.36.0 , maybe this was the update to v2

I called it V2 because I don't know the name of the update, maybe it's that ^^

confirming, i (implying i'm greek) got a ~32MByte update two days ago for my milestone.
some changes in google maps... other than that i saw nothing new.

Could you post the name of the update and the name of the build ?

[Q] Any newer Froyo version on the horizon (Scandinavia)?

Have installed the latest fw from Kies (Scandinavia). But, is there any newer version unofficially released which we soon can hope will hit official status?

Geeze... How 'bout being happy with the FROYO that you HAVE and let the rest of us in the world get ours before wondering if there is ANOTHER update for Scandinavia...

Hehe, well I still think this Froyo version sucks (laggy), and hope it will be fixed.
After all, got my money back now, so I am looking for a new phone. Nexus S seems to be the one, but if the rumour is true and it will only shi with 384 mb ram am still at a loss...

I've not facebook: why a petition should be in vain at all?

This is the text of the petition:
To: Motorola Europe
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Update for Motorola Milestone (Europe).
Motorola Milestone is still a top-class smartphone and there are no technical reason to not port Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to this device since the update to Android 2.3 is yet announced on less-powerful devices.
We would like Motorola to update Milestone smartphone to Android 2.3 as we feel that the device is fully capable to support the new OS and is still to early stop supporting this device only after a year from it's commercialization. Especially for a top-class device.
------------------
before i'll create it, can you tell me if there are any grammar errors?

i personally appreciate your efforts however, i think they are wasted, im pretty sure 2.2 is the last official update we will see simply because it is motorola we are dealing with, not HTC or even smasung

I think that it would be better like this:
"Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Update for Motorola Milestone (Europe).
Motorola Milestone is yet a powerful smartphone and there are no technical reasons to not port Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to this device since the update to Android 2.3 is also announced for less-powerful devices.
We would like Motorola to update the Milestone to Android 2.3 as we feel that the device is fully capable to support the new OS and it is still too early to stop the support for it as it has been out for just a year, considering also that the Milestone is a top-class device."
Anyway good luck

Why don't simply asking for an unlocked bootloader that allow a full ROM cooking like for droid and all the other HTC devices?
I think that it will be easier to get this instead of an official porting from Motorola (absolutely not convenient for them)!
And the community later can develop for porting 2.3 on milestone too.
Much easier.... Doesn't it??
P.S I already had some experience in the past with petition and manufacturer (Eten/Glofiish/Acer) ... And this is my point of view...

Worry for official release of Froyo first...then think about Gingerbread.
Change the phone is the fastest option...just saying.

Whait for it. ...
Ahahahaha, if u think how long they took them to relese 2.2, a. ... whait, it's not relesed yet, then if u think a bit, the deam phone will break before you got 2.3
Just saying. .. =))

As above, ask for the bootloader to be unlocked instead.
If the device is classed as End Of Life, i.e no more updates happening, then it's more likely they'll unlock it....
Dont get your hopes up though, we still dont have 2.2.....

Ehi guys, go to this thread and sign on both petitions!

Android™ 2.2 (Froyo) software upgrade for Milestone rolling out?

http://www.facebook.com/motorolaeurope/posts/155078701220505
"Hello all. The Android™ 2.2 (Froyo) software upgrade for Milestone is now being rolled out in selected countries, please visit http://moto.ly/milestonefroyo for instructions on how to upgrade your device."

nothing special about 2.2 on this link from france...
look like 2.2 is rolling out country by country

Just installed the 2.2.1 update.
Build: SHOLS_U2_05.26.0
Kernel-version: 2.6.32.9gafbfc43

what ....
what stock version ? and sbf file we should be having to apply this update for uk milestone. thanks in advance.

Apparently this official build has the same kernel as the leaked APAC build from 2 months ago.. So also still buggy unfortunately.. Quite the anti-climax..

Any Canadians try to install the UK version? I don't want to wait around for Telus if I can just install the same version from the UK Motorola site...

Over six months to 'test' this update and still miss massive bugs, only Motorola could manage that...
"Motorola is committed to continually meet and exceed our consumers� expectations. Due to the extremely high number of requests for the Android 2.2. (FROYO) software upgrade, we are making the upgrade package available to consumers who wish to voluntarily upgrade their own devices via MSU.
Exhaustive testing process has concluded that users may experience some adverse effects associated with the upgrade which could include slower operation of some phone functions and applications. Performance may be improved by limiting open applications."
First line says it all, committed to continually failing at everything they touch. This just confirms how I'll never touch another product of theirs!

Motorola updated the update page.

Motorola Software Upgrade Page
hey the motorola update page is updated. (first line is the link )
they have information or the lack of information about ICS ...
D3 is in planning so in can be a yes or a no ..
RAZR's world wide rejoice as it is on Development. (not the verizon one yet )
i made a custom link so its easier to remember.
p.s. hope its not repeated but i didn't find any post on this

I suppose, Droid 3 will get ICS most probably in December 2012
