Hi all,
Long time reader, first time poster etc

I have a Motorola Backflip, and have had it since new (oct '10) and HATE it. It's stuck on 1.5, and I can't find anything anywhere that will let me update it, and telecom staff seem to think i can't update it at all.

Does anyone know how I can do that ( i know motorola usa have a 2.1 update somewhere)

Thanks

Running the Desire version of that and it is awesome. I'd be going with that

Thanks for the replies. I managed to drown my phone about 3 minutes after posting this, so had to run across town to replace it as quickly as possible. What a day!
