Verizon has released Droid 2.1 to testers only


Verizon today explained the apparent delayed update to Android 2.1 for the Droid. The carrier claims that the update was released to a small number of Verizon testers, as scheduled, on Thursday afternoon, but the release date for the final, more widespread launch of the software has not been finalized. How many users received the update hasn't been revealed either but is believed to be under 10,000.

Verizon promises to keep users updated on the final release of the software. When it finally reaches Droid users, the update will bring multi-touch support, animated backgrounds, a night mode for navigation and other upgrades, most of which are found in the Android 2.1 software in the Nexus One.
