Nothing here yet. Still on ESD56. I wonder how many people got the update.

A part of me wants to root my phone before it's patched

I got the update they're describing on Sunday night. I assumed it was the 2.1 update, and was a little confused when I checked the version # (which stayed the same at 2.0.1). I'll just have to wait a little longer. I haven't noticed any changes to the phone as of now. It does seem to run a little bit smoother. Does anyone know if the update does anything besides preparing for 2.1?

In another forum, i think androidforums maybe, folks were saying it fixed some connection issues some were having with the facebook app.

Even if it's a "prep" install, I'm still stoked.

so does anyone have the update.zip for this prep for the rooted phones that they say where to find it? I rooted my Droid and everything I read is that once you do that you will not get the ota updates?

I've read that you will get OTA updates when rooted as long as you didn't specifically disable them or install a custom rom. All I did was root. No busybox, no taskbar modifications, no roms, etc. I was told that I should still get the OTA. The ONLY issue is that this first maintenance patch is said to disable root. I'm fine with that though, I only use it for screenshots lol

We have two Droids in my house. Last time there was an update I had to accept it. Haven't seen anything as of Thursday morning. Are they still pushing or did I somehow miss the update. Both phones are bone stock (for now)
