Love the voice-to-text on the new update, but I'm still smarting over not having Flash support with this update. The large majority of sites I visit have Flash and still can't see the info.
search the market place for more live wallpaper.
Helix works great for me. I have it set with 5 screens with 1-2 widgets on each screen and I do not get any FCs on it.
Where was an official statement that Motorola wasn't implementing 5 panels nor the app drawer changes? That said, why would they choose to leave out functions that the base update from Android provided. Obviously the phone is capable of more panels evidenced by 3rd party apps.

I know this has been asked a billion times but can somebody tell me why after manually updating it says 2.1 update1 or whatever instead of 2.1?? This is kinda bothering me. I know its supposed to be the same as the regualar automatic update but it makes it sound like an unofficial beta name. I manually updated which u couldve probably guessed. Does it say the update 1 thing if u were to recieve the update as an auto promt or is this just for the people who were impatient like me? >_< ive noticed which ive probably mentioned before that my browser seems quite a bit slower too..
Thats the Official 2.1 update that went out to the Nexus after all the issues. So it's the latest 2.1 build.
OTA/Manual are the same EXACT builds.

Now just put that in scrolling letters across the home page and 50% of the repeat questions would stop... Or would they?

Once AGAIN flash was NEVER going to be in the update in the first place. Flash is made by ADOBE and not Google, Motorola or Verizon so it will NOT be in an OTA update. When flash is available it will most likely be released to the Android Market for download.
yo, i know it isnt all silicon BUT...i bought a case on eBay for about 6$ called "motorola droid hybrid case" its mad nice and its rubber/silicon. they have purple and pink ones now i guess but i just bought the black one. i like it a lot. i bought a regular silicone one and it was terrible because there's literally NO way to keep it on...especially if you keep it in your pocket.
Live wallpapers affecting opening apps UPDATE.
In the last few days I've reported noticing a difference in how apps open with and without live wallpapers.
Without = smooth opening and closing.
With = very slightly jerkiness, like a movie with a slow frame speed.
Well today, I loaded Helix Launcher and set it up with 7 home screens. (Yes, just get it! You'll love it).
I also loaded a Market-offered Galactic Core live wallpaper (nice).
Just reporting Helix is every bit as fast with 7 screens as the Android default launcher, but the live wallpapers affect it about the same.
