does it mean that we will have froyo built on the flipout whitin march 2011???

i think i'm going to buy it! *__*

 

[headhod]

yep thats right, on 1Q of 2011. im really happy with the phone

Hopefully they do release 2.2 on this phone but keep in mind Motorola is really bad with providing software updates to their phones even if they give a specific time frame. Many of their handsets have been promised updates and still have not received them.

Yeah, HTC was about 5 months late on the 2.1 upgrade for the hero

And now it's January 2010, didn't hear any news from Motorola... yet.

Sadly i'm not feeling a froyo vibe for at least for quite a while, despite what I would hope for

Hi all,

unfortunatelly there will be no Froyo update for flipout - Flipout will remain on Android 2.1. Found this information on official Motorola site h**ps://supportforums.motorola.com/community/manager/softwareupgrades?view=overview

The last time that I have bought a Motorola device, HTC had been the better choice...

Well, that's decent sad news.
And, we have to admit it.

fuc**ng ****
is any unofficial froyo rom for flipout ??

 

[JJJSSSLLL]

This phone have another updates but with eclair? wich is the most actually software? this phone can install froyo with other forms? this phone NEVER taste froyo? or can install flash player and app2sd in eclair and work ok?
PD: My phone have a "blur_Version.1.19.2.MB511.Retail.en IT" and i'm live in Spain, have an other updates?

 

[yocom]

[xos84292]

when froyo come to flipout

NO

motorola update list , Flipout will keep 2.1 forever

 

[Geko90]

ins't there anyway to subscribe at motorola to make them develop a 2.2 or even 2.3 upgrade for flipout? we can make a petition and let everyone sign!

 

[dalkor]

Petitioning Cyanogen team would be 100 times more efficient, but I'm afraid Flipout is not widespread enough to interest devs, the work most probably won't pay off.

UPDATE

Opps, there is much more weighty reason than low install base, it turned out that all Motorola phones except the original Droid have a locked bootloader, so even if somebody would maker a custom ROM, it would be impossible to load it.

yeah, I agree... htc devices are more common and that's why cyanogen is working on them... is there a minimum number to reach to let them know about us? I mean, I'm still a touchpro2 user, but there's no other device I want but motorola flipout and it'd be much better to have some new software upgrades...

if only motorola droid has a unlocked bootloader, how exists CM roms for motorola CliQ XT or the Defy?

Hi,

I've just got my very first smartphone (a Flipout) and think it's great. I'm now trying to figure out what the best operating to use is. When searching for 2.2 information, I came across this great thread, but have also found a page which seems to suggest that 2.2 is possible, and wondered what anyone thought...

As I'm not allowed to post links yet, Google for upgradeupdate-motorola-flipout-motoblur_7560 and it's the top hit (venusvenera).

Assuming the above is a load of rubbish, would anyone be kind enough to give me a link to the best UK version of 2.1 to use without Motoblur, as there seems to be some confusing in the 'Full Orange Debranding Guide Very easy' thread, or at least I'm confused.

Thanks

if we pay a developer to port a 2.3.3 rom to our flipout??
