As you may have heard the Motorola DROID’s 2.1 update has been delayed to a TBD date. I will be sure to keep posted on this. On my daily phone I will wait for the OTA, while on my other (I got it from the Chicago GTUG) DROID I will download the update and install it manually. You can get manual installation instructions via Android and Me.

Motorola already said that its new CLIQ XT Android phone would be available sometime this month when it let us get our hands on the phone last week, but it unfortunately didn’t get very specific about an actual date or a price. If this seemingly authentic slide obtained by TmoToday is any indication, however, it looks like the Blur-skinned handset will hit retail on March 17th (tomorrow), and run $99 on a two-year contract (or $199 for a year). That places it right in line with the current pricing of the original CLIQ, which would seem to be prime for a price drop if it’s sticking around.
HCL and Motorola have inked an agreement to jointly bid for next-generation secured radio connectivity projects in India which several of the state government and police departments are now planning to implement. The two companies feel the potential deal pipeline for such projects will be in excess of Rs 1,000 crore over the next two years.
This comes inline with the HCL-Motorola combine winning the Rs 100-crore contract to implement a secured radio network for the Delhi government ahead of the up-coming Commonwealth Games.
HCL and Motorola aim to benefit from each other’s respective specialisation in system integration and communication technology.
HCL and Motorola has already bid for the tender floated by Daman police and is also in talks with Bangalore police.The Economic Times
If that borked update for the Motorola Cliq has kept you up nights, there’s some relief in sight. The guys and gals at These Are The Droids got Moto to acknowledge there’s been an issue, and a workaround has been identified. Said Moto:
Last week, the CLIQ 1.3.18 over-the-air software update began rolling out to consumers. While the vast majority of updates were successful, a very small number of consumers reported a date error and found that, after factory resetting their device, their phone was not functioning properly. We have identified a workaround solution for these consumer
Turns out there it was an issue with the over-the-air nature of the update. And if you’re having issues, you can re-update through the SD card using these instructions. Good luck, and let us know how things worked out. [These are the Droids]
