Nice blog at socialmediaseo.net. I love Motorola phones. I am in Canada and I just bought Motorola Milestone, which is known as the Motorola Droid south of the border. I love Android operating system which is way faster than Windows mobile.

Ever since the update I am no longer able to use my phone while charging it. Touch screen flickers when pressing an icon and will not open app.

I too was excited to see an upgrade, this morning. After running it, I was stuck on the flashing red eye boot up screen. After removing the battery and trying to restart I get no response at all. Now I have no phone. I wish I had never touched this update. Why do i have this feeling I will get no help from Verizon either. Verizon will say it's Motorola's hardware… Motorola will will say it's Google's software… Google will say "You bought the phone from Verizon".

I should have bought the iPhone instead of messing with the cheaper wannabee !

1 huge upgrade…voice recognition in the keyboard. Not perfect but works pretty well.

Upgraded via OTA night before last. Phone seems much faster.

Just updated…gallery is different. It was a tad slower when I started my phone and started to tinker. Very dissappointed the update didn’t include flash…

Still wondering what else was updated!

I agree. I’ve had no issues with the update and my droid is working a little faster.

I think the update is great and I did it the approved way. My Droid is as fast as it can be and battery life seems better. I think the Droid is a powerful phone/computer. It is truly awesome. When it gets flash it will be perfect.

I’m definitely pleased with the update and feel that it is overall quicker across the board. No complaints here.

1. I concur with "DroidUser" – does seem a bit snappier to me as well. No benchmarks run or anything, just gut feeling after using 2.0.x since November 6th.

2. While I can appreciate the notion of using OTA software in comparison benchmarks, the truth is the code applied in a manual update is the same code as the OTA. The difference between OTA and Manual updates isn't the code itself, it's merely the mechanism to install the code on the phone. I think the way you've written your piece may lead some astray in thinking the software in a manual update is somehow rogue. Make no mistake, a typical "manual application" of 2.1 is *not* rooting, for example.

Everything actually seems a little faster to me. The screen seems more responsive and more fluid.
