Motorola Backflip now scheduled to get Android 2.1 update in Q3

Decide to go with Motorola’s unconventional Backflip over an Android phone with a more traditional form factor? Then it looks like you’ll have to wait a bit longer than most to get the Android 2.1 firmware update. According to a newly published timeline from Motorola itself, the Backflip is now scheduled to receive the update sometime in the third quarter of this year, compared to the second quarter for the CLIQ and now-ish for the Droid — the Devour upgrade is apparently still “under evaluation.” Of course, all of this can still change and, given Motorola’s past history with Android updates, it probably will.
