that's lame. the old wheel was better. what kind of animation does this new screen do? can the background be changed?This from the thread http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-news/7217-ota-updates-possible-before-11th.html, but it looks like the update will remove the wheel to this:
not sure about the animations... but im gonna go out on a limb here and say yes the backgrounds on the lock screen can be changed. This is already a feature and i doubt they will be removing features for the update.
