Motorola Dext to get Android 2.1 in Q3

by Damian Koh

Although Motorola has launched a number of Android smartphones, only the Milestone and Dext are available in Asia Pacific. Singapore was the first country to get the Milestone that runs on the latest Android 2.1 operating system, but the company said users in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Thailand can expect a software update "soon". This is in line with the rollout plan (see screenshot above) where the upgrade is being released in stages.

The Dext, which was made available earlier this year, is scheduled for the upgrade only in Q3 this year. Current Dext owners will have to wait a few more months, but at least Android 2.1 is coming their way. Meanwhile, the Google I/O event, which is scheduled to happen next month in San Francisco, may unveil even newer features and enhancements of the software. This would mean existing devices will get an "older" patch. But who knows, Motorola may yet surprise us.
