Can't wait, looks very nice, from what I've seen, and heard from others who upgraded early. I hope I'm in the first batch tomorrow ๐Ÿ™‚ post a reply if you got it, and your impressions.

Most who have rooted their phones have disabled over the air updates.

Otherwise, it probably would affect them, as the root exploit probably doesn't work for native 2.1 (most likely they have closed the loophole that allows it)

Oh, I'm sure smart & savvy enough Android geeks will find a way to root 2.1 if that's what they want. Android is an open OS.

How many times do we have to tell you that flash isn't up to mtorola or Google or verizon (thus will most likely NEVER be part of an official release), but is completely dependent on Adobe to develop and publish a compatible version??!!????

Since it's a third-party product, once it is released in anything more than a 'flash-lite' capability, it will be available in the marketplace, like every other third party app.


(flash-lite is a slightly different animal, in that it is designed to be directly embedded into a browser.

I'm not questioning that "official" 2.1 will be rooted; probably much sooner than 2.0 was rooted. Just opining that most people who have rooted their phones, have disabled OTA updates, so they won't be affected.

It occurs to me that most who have rooted their phones probably are already running some form of 2.1.
