Following up on the myriad of Motorola Droid issues this week, a recently leaked Technical Bulletin has surfaced that clearly spells out all of the major issues Droid owners have been complaining about since launch(speaker echo/audio problems and recent autofocus problems found on the camera) and what steps will be taken to address them, culminating in a large firmware update.
The update is scheduled for release on December 11th following Motorola’s own recent confirmation of such an update for the Droid’s camera issues this morning, which is a part of the same larger update.
The Droid Eris will also receive its oen update to address issues with the Sense UI as well as other general bugfixes.

The speakers are not blowing out. The people that are having issues are playing music with the volume at 100% which is causing clipping. The fix is to turn the volume down a little. This only occurs when using the 3.5 mm jack. There is no popping with the regular speaker.

No such fix listed.

The Droid looks pretty impressive (if a little heavy), but my Omnia is still cutting edge enough for me. Think I'll let the Android OS mature a little more before I even consider jumping from WM.

Where? I read the document several times and and even gave a direct link to it in my post and I see nothing about a fix for an audio problem.

Hi guys, for those of you that have the Droid already, how does the browser compare to the Iphone? I know the pinch to zoom isnt there, but how about the experience in general?

Sorry, I guess they are just having general problems, but i guess we should expect that from a new product.

I played with the HTC Droid from Sprint, that is real nice and the screen is bright and clean! Did not have a chance to mess with the OS too much, but very fast! Especially fast compared to the Omnia.
