[smd12]

Anyone in NYC get the update? ....::: just want to make sure I haven't been singled out LOL :::::......

i haven't received the update yet either

I just checked and the update's available on my phone. Although after looking at this post I don't think I'm going to install it (at least not permanently) since there's no mention of flash or live wallpapers.

Wow...seriously? It makes improvements to the phone. Why would you not update it? To show your protest because it does not have Flash? :icon_ nono2:

BTW: it does have live wallpapers.

I dont see GOOGLE EARTH. Where is that?
Do i have to reinstall the other one again?

You have to download it from the app store (it is free.) It is not automatically included in the update - just Goggles.

Here, for all of you who thought this update would include Flash Player: FLASH IS NOT INCLUDED IN 2.1!!!!!

IT IS BY ADOBE AND ISN'T COMING OUT UNTIL LATER THIS YEAR!!!
Motorola and Verizon have nothing to do with Flash coming out. It is by Adobe, and it will most likely be a download from the Market... not an OTA update.

I received the update this morning also. It does seem to run a bit snappier and smother imo. However I can't find google earth in the market either?? Any ideas?

For people finding themselves unimpressed with the update, I think in time you will change your minds as I did. I thought at first it wasn't anything special but since the update I have been messing with my phone and they fixed a lot of small quirks you don't really think about until messing with your phone. Call quality is much better, talk to text is insanely awesome. Somehow they improved battery life with an OTA update which is pretty impressive. The screen seems to be a bit more crisp. While the update was not earth shattering they definitely nailed down some things with it. I have completely changed my stance on thinking it wasn't worth the wait. I really look forward to what the future updates will be like.

Yes you can use it. You will notice a bit of a lag but nothing that should deter you from using it.

I manually download the update yesterday. I'm happy with it so far even though there is only a few changes. People seem to expect a lot out of a .1 update. This isn't 3.0 or anything.

Not seeing Google Earth in the MARKET?? Wassup with that?

If you watch/play with them...a lot. Otherwise, not so much.
