Man my buddy w/ a g1 told me he received an update. So I checked, then installed 1.6 for my Motorola Cliq but it basically cleared my phone completely out. I reset my phone and had to download my old contacts

MT3G is HTC not Motorola. HTC will take WAY longer to release 2.1. They are still behind on the camera, and stereo jack (and no keyboard). If you wanted a MT3G with Android 2.1, you should have waited for the Nexus One. I heard 2Q for Android 2.1 for Cliq on 2/14/10, but we’ll see in a couple more months.

I wish they accidently permanantly released the 2.1 for mt3g

I’ve been asking forever if these phones can be updated but if I have to wait for motorolla to send one out then it seems to be a lost cause. I’ve had 4 old motophones and never seen a update for either one of them.

FYI: it also wiped out all sms conversations

I recieved the update this morning after my buddy with the G1 said he received an update this am. I checked for update and there was an update. I clicked on “Release Notes” and I received a “Page cannot be dispayed” messate (or at lease the android verison of that message)

All I can tell you about the update is, the screen brightness does funny stuff, like going into my messages, the screen dims but then going back to home screen it gets really bright again….Next, the phone seems more sluggish, just a little…Third, I have not yet had to hide, then show, the on-screen keyboard yet, to fix a touch screen issue where certain buttons fail to work untill you hide and show the keyboard.

As for everyone who reads this, if you are interested in UMA support on android, please “Star”/”Vote” (some people are commenting without starring/voting) this feature enhancement request I posted a few days a go:

It will be nice if they hurry up with the update. So many great phones are out and it seems like my cliq is the grandfather phone. Even the g1 is gona see an ujpdate before us. That’s so un cool!
