No Android 2.1 upgrades for Motorola DEXT, QUENCH and BACKFLIP in Canada

Motorola

Motorola has updated its Android upgrade timetable for existing devices and Canadians will be disappointed. Remember how updates for the Motorola BACKFLIP, DEXT, and QUENCH were “under evaluation” for Android 2.1 updates. It looks like Motorola has completed its evaluation and all three will remain on Android 1.5. According to the latest roadmap, all three “will remain on Android 1.5 for the best combined hardware and software experience.”

Interestingly, the same devices in the US appear set to receive the update. Their status reads “Upgrade to Android 2.1 – testing in process, planned for late Q3/early Q4.”

It would be interesting to know who, Motorola or the carriers, who decided not to move forward with the upgrade in Canada.

Motorola Milestone users are still on tap to receive their update to Android 2.2 in Q1 2011.
