wow the update gave me new folders: my_flix my_sounds my_pix my_media
Maybe after a manual update it takes a while for the Verizon tab to register? Who knows lol
Those definitely sound like Verizon folders lol. Almost every phone I had that wasn't a smartphone created those same folders on the sd card.
What's interesting though, is I don't have those on mine...

I didn't get any new folders are glad for it too. I hate any folders prefixed with "my".

Well the theory about the downloads tab appearing when you have a download didn't pan out...... I still have my verizon tab and there are two updates available for me.
I have to hit the menu to access the downloads like I always have.
I've seen comments going both ways. IIRC wifi was not an issue that was on the list of items improved.
I've been through a lot of updates, specially with Blackberry. People sometimes see a lot more into an update then what actually occurs. I'd take any comments outside of the list of known fixes with a grain of salt.
I'll also point out before someone else does that the home screen change was not on that list either. So you can make your own decisions after you upgrade.

My droid gets a wifi signal better than my laptop!
If this wifi signal normally stable for other connections?
Or does the droid have problems with all wifi connections?
How do you know your router is not set wrong?
You may have it set so the CTS "clear to send" level is too high... that means if the signal drops below that threshold, it stops sending and the connection is dropped, then when it comes back up, it has to negotiate again...... you want it set as low as you can.... but troubleshooting your router can be a whole thread.
Thats why Im wondering if youve been having problems with your droid even with other connections?
If you dont already have them, download "speedtest" and "wifinder".. that may give you some help to see how strong your signal is.

I was able to fix my WiFi issues by setting my router to broadcast the SSID

awesome and good to know.. .I guess the droid needs a name to grab onto.... thanks for posting.
My router works fine for my Macintosh and my son-in-law's iPhone. Also works fine for my Windows laptop. The router broadcasts the SSID. the signal strength is 3-4 bars. Droid says we have a connection. Then it fails.
We're probably getting off-topic here, but I really would like some help.

I'm very patient, as long as I don't have to wait.
