For those that are still unclear from the above answers, the froyo/Milestone decision is pending, and that all recent views of the community were collated as part of that decision making process. Please await this outcome, and we can then go from there.

so please make your comments on there facebook page

but there is still a litle hope
german custommer Q:
hello! i bought the milestone (in austria) because i wanted a reliable open source phone without an apple logo.
BUT:
1. why do you say that the updates aren't like "a walk in the park"?
of course its much work and the quality check of the company even more. but the last updates were only small bugfixes (exept 2.1) and only one programmer of the community would have done that faster and mor reliable.
... Lees verder
2.the milestone (and the droid) was more or less the rescue for motorola. why do you try to destroy this success by scaring the new won community so off? is it only greed?
i hope not...

3.i know we said that a lot of times... but is there a chance if froyo won't find to the milestone by motorola, the BL get's free so that the community could make the work for you?

i know this is a crazy idea but maybe you could work together with some of the community programmers! they are really smart and get hardly any donates.
this idea is of course blue-eyed but maybe it would help and save money if you just ask one of them if they make a prot for you and you could "port" it to an official release.

i believe in you motorola! but without this update you lost a customer forever... and i am not the only one!

‎@Patrick Senscheid... 1) they are different and slightly under different conditions given one is one country and one operator and the other multitude of countries and operators/variants...so takes longer to get through 2) Would love to know the 20 phones in a month we have released in europe 3) fair question, and one I'm pushing for. Thanks JK

Dont know what they are waiting for. Many users want the update, i hope thats not the same thing like the HTC do New phone, No updates to the old phone....

can you post to us this Facebook link?

my take on the froyo milestone matter.

droid 2 is going to be released... with froyo.

motorola is probably looking to phase out the monetary responsibilities they have with the previous model. ie , move hired developers to work on new phone to save money.

They most likely want to focus their attention on droid 2, as they probably spend more money pushing a newer device. This way, they get more money.

And while pushing a newer device, they don't let a older's success distract customers and cause them to lose a profit on the newer device.

They need to market the newer device more than the older device (milestone) because they need to stay competitive.

The Droid 2 can't replace the Milestone, only the droid. (CDMA) But the Droid will get Froyo.

If Droid gets Froyo, Milestone should get it too. TechSpec for both is not much different, except radio-band and some minor things.

The fact is Froyo Update is given only to few models. I think before coming to conclusion and loosing hope, we should wait for some time. Anyways its not even a year passed to launch of Milestone.

If you people think its too late, then it will also be a good idea to file a petition against Motorola for advertising Milestone as "Flash-ready" and later revoking the feature.

Anyone know how to file a petition?

They still not finishing rolling 2.1 update -2 yet. I think I am gonna move to another android device. Good Luck you guys hope Froyo gets to the milestone

I think im going to move as well. This is the last time I buy anything from Motorola. Ive had plenty of issues and only now, after the last update have most of them been solved. I still find the phone to be extremely sluggish at times and this kills the experience for me.

Even after the updates there are still some bugs on my Milestone...
Random Reboots and it cant access the SD sometimes...

Hope Motorola releases 2.2 and fast!
