the big things I noticed from 2.1 to 2.2..... camera now has on screen menu, more options, FLASH support!! (eat that i phone 4) new phone/menu/web cluster at the bottom of the home screens... calender interface is cooler, now I get my yahoo mail, and the track ball now lights up different colors (when you program it that way) when an app needs to be updated, now you can choose all to update with out having to choose them individually. I know there is more I just cant think of it now...I love this phone, I think if google would have sold it in Tmobile stores they could have outsold the iphone.... the new iphone is a joke, the NEXUS one smokes it in more ways.... the people out there that say it's not as good are total apple loyalist and will always say that.... ANDROID phones are taking over on all carriers but ATT I wonder why....because AT&T sucks and so do there phones.....
new 2.2

AT&T announced that they were receiving a variant of the Samsung Galaxy S soon, called the Samsung Captivate. I'm glad to hear you got the upgrade to Android 2.2. Did you do the first update to Android 2.2 by yourself, and the last was automatically?

My nexus one was stock for T-mobile.... I did the update myself, I found the update for the 1st version FRF50 and installed it myself.... no problem.... then I saw that this FRF 82 is suppose to be the final OS 2.2 downloaded it and updated my phone... In all the update took all of about 20 minutes... most of that was when the phone reboots.... If you are afraid to do it your self wait for the OTA update it suppose to be hitting phones already, but I have heard rumors that google was having a problem with a server that sends out all that info, and that only SELECT phones will get the update.... not all android phones will get the update.....

I wouldnt touch ANY phone on AT&T... they really only care about the iPhone and its a piece of sh@# when you put it against a nexus one, incredible or a droid.... That and AT&T was voted as having the WORST customer service and 2nd WORST coverage!!! I Love t-mobile service, great coverage, great phones, the people that work for them seem very nice and the service is not that expensive....

i tried to check for system updates on my motorola milestone n it states that my phone currently is up to date.. but my version is only 2.1 1
does this means that the 2.2 update for milestone has not been released? |

RE: new 2.2 created on Jun 29, 2010 5:27:37 PM
correct. However, I heard rumors that an Android 2.2 update was being pushed out to a few testers running Droid/Milestones

getting this update |

RE: new 2.2 created on Jul 26, 2010 11:26:53 AM
the Droid Eris is getting an update, actually it just did about a week ago, but not to Android 2.2. There is talk that the Droid Eris will get Android 2.2, but I don't remember anything solid being announced by HTC or Verizon.

RE: new 2.2 created on Jul 27, 2010 12:43:02 PM
no way to know Wyatt. We'll just have to sit tight. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you. In the mean time, the DEVOUR is rooted, so you can get started on trying that out if you want.

RE: new 2.2 created on Jul 29, 2010 11:35:44 AM — modified on Jul 29, 2010 11:39:32 AM
Do you want Motoblur, and if so, what is the motivation? From what I have heard, it slows your phone down a lot. If you have only significantly used a Motoblur handset, I recommend you try out the regular Android experience.
In regards to a ROM, there doesn't really seem to be any around, and that is likely because it was rooted not too long ago. However, it appears that the DEVOUR has a similar system to the Droid X in that there is a system installed by Motorola making it hard to root/change the bootloader/load a new ROM.

i like motoblur because it keeps me connected to everyone through facebook and twitter. however, i could maybe live without.
