Add a bit of sound, CDMA data, sms and all the other stuff currently being worked on and this is absolutely amazing.

Thanks so much guys for your efforts!

No GPS yet, although the MyLocation functionality (triangulation w/ some potential assistance via the wifi web connection) works great for me too.

GPS would be great, I am sure we'll get it someday - I'd like to try the Google Maps navigation.

wpa2 works for me, also gps is A LOT more accurate in android. when i do it in windows mobile it gets me to about within 40 MILES of my house. in android, it was almost exactly right (within one house). go figure that one out

That's not GPS, its Android/Google's scary good WiFi geolocation at work. Google has a giant database of WiFi networks and their locations (amassed from those Street View cars), so once the phone has an Internet connection and can scan for WiFi networks, it can probably pick up a general location.

Glad you are all enjoying WiFi. I don't know what is causing the problem with WEP, but it seems like it could be caused by Android 2. Some people on the Nexus One are having the same problem, and we use the same WiFi driver and Android version, so I think it's a more general Android problem. There are some threads about it elsewhere, maybe take a look if you use WEP.

From what I Read a few pages back, It is a problem across all devices and is awaiting a fix. As soon as the fix is found I am sure 95-Civic will let us all know and we will be able to enjoy the Market. Until know we all just have to Download the APK's from the Internet and load them into the Android Apps folder on the SD card before we boot into android. You can find allot of them if you just Google for them, everything from Facebook widgets to Beautiful Widgets.
