From a leaked Verizon support document, it appears an update for several problems with the Verizon Droid phone will be pushed December 11th. The fixes appear to address a small number of issues that users are facing with Active Sync / Exchange, Text messaging, and the camera.

Having used the Droid for a little over a week, my personal experience is that stability of some platform components (if not the base OS) is somewhat questionable. I’ve experienced issues with multiple native applications (apps that shipped with the phone) that stop responding, some applications never opening to the same window twice, and even the unthinkable — having the entire phone / screen become completely unresponsive after hanging up a call forcing me to have to reboot (!) the phone. Of course, in the complex world of software development, you can’t fix what you can’t duplicate consistently and certain issues you can’t even identify, so what everyone is calling “quirks” that I and others experience will probably never be fixed. (To be honest, I’m quite amazed that functionality impaired by stability issues has gotten so little coverage in the blogosphere.)
