Verizon has just officially confirmed that their Motorola DROID handset will be getting an OTA update to Android 2.1. However, all handsets will not be updated in the beginning as it’s a phased rollout.

Android Central explains it for us below:

• The first batch of 1,000 updates will be pushed out at 9 a.m. PDT.
• Assuming all goes well, another 9,000 updates will go out at 8:59 p.m. PDT.
• After that, there’s a 24-hour waiting period (to make sure all’s still well.)
• Then 200,000 updates will go out on Saturday, March 20.
• Another batch of 200,000 goes out after that, until everyone has the update.

Are you excited? I know I am.
