    Other than the official announcement that it will be getting 2.1 at some time, there is nothing official from Verizon. Verizon will not release any firm dates on any updated unless they are 100% certain that they can deliver said update by that particular date... If they were to say Jan 11th, and something happened, say a bug is found, so that they can't release on that date, you would have users across the nation screaming bloody murder... Because of this, most companies won't give a date, period... They just start releasing the update without notice.

    A word of caution to you. If you have rooted your Droid, or if you might possibly want to do so in the future, do NOT apply the updated from Verizon. They will almost certainly have fixed the bug in the old release that allowed users to gain root access, and the phone will be un-rootable if the update is applied. Developers may or may not find another exploit that allows root access.

    If your phone is rooted, wait for one of the after-market ROM's to be released with a pre-patched version of Android 2.1 that is based off of the ROM that Verizon officially releases. This "Patch and release" by the development community will assure that your phone retains root access.

    in accordance to Verizon's Twitter account for the Droid, pre-ordering should not be obtainable for this telephone. the 1st day you could order it truly is November 6th, the 1st day it truly is released.
