OFFICIAL: 2.1 to release this week on the Motorola Droid

[Zac7]

Yea I agree about the 5 homescreens. There should be no reason what so ever for why the droid can't run smoothly with 7 let alone 5. Let's hope this is just all rumors and we ge the 2.1 everyone was so excited about in january.

My Droid runs perfectly smoothly with 7 home screens using GDE.

Imo gde is way to laggy compared to the stock homescreen. Even the new 2.1 launcher update is smoother then gde. Just wish the launcher 2.1 would work in landscape. I guess the other new features are cool, but with multitouch being added will they add it to the virtual keyboard. I hope for this more than anything.

So, no fix for Bluetooth. No TRUE (no need to touch the phone) handsfree voice dialing.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think that was ever in the discussion. I bought my Droid on day one and have been asking and asking about that very same issue. I may as well been talking to the wall.

Am I the only one that hated the 2.1 app drawer?

I was really looking forward to this feature, but once I got it on my phone using Sholes, I wasn't that impressed. Especially how it snaps to the lines of apps instead of scrolling smoothly. Makes it look laggy even if it isn't.

Oh man, that was a long, rough, disappointing night. I normally don't get worked up about stuff like this, but I was pretty mad after staying up all night and still going to work the next day haha.

Oh lord. I didn't even think of that.

• Pinch and Zoom browsing
• Speech to text recognition
• Enlarged virtual keypad
• 3D gallery
• Weather Channel widget
• Enhanced music player

That mean no 5 screens? No new app drawer?

I was hoping for the 5 screens too. don't give up hope though. No one knows for sure what's in the update. Well, let me take that back. No one is SAYING what is for sure in the update. I d/l'd the app drawer. Nice aesthetic but, I don't really have to have it.
