"Awhile" ... like in a week? Maybe 2 at the most.  I just want to know if they will automatically update my phone, or if I will be able to choose when to update it? Also, I'm afraid that if they do automatic updates, what would happen if I happened to be in the middle of rooting the phone and it tries to do this? Doesn't sound like a good position to be in. Just an obscure question that probably no one knows the answer to. Based on the past, we do have the answers to these concerns. The OTA update doesn't come flying in like some renegade and take over your DROID in the middle of what you are doing. Although, I do find that scenario quite humorous.
2) Don't the volume and power buttons seem a little cheap to you guys? It appears not all DROIDs have been created equally. My DROID feels like it was built by Mercedes Benz. It is solid, rigid, tight, and still feels/looks like the day I brought it home, now over 2.5 months ago. I kind of wish they were like the iPhones buttons in this respect (hey, Droid can't win em all). This is not a question as much of an observation, but comment if you'd like. I know you're going to misunderstand my comment, but here goes. Why didn't you buy an iPod? Why are you settling for second best? I mean, I view your post and take the time to reply, and you're just going to "comment" about your crappy buttons. What are we supposed to do for you? Join in on the whine session? Will that make you feel better? I apologize, but I just don't get it.
3) I know theres a rooting app on the Marketplace. I'm just kind of weary about using that. Don't you think Verizon would see that I downloaded that and try to void my warranty? ): You are truly afraid of "the man", aren't you? The very app that you're weary of using happens to be the same app that can unroot your DROID making VZW none the wiser.
I had more questions but I forgot /:

Food for thought ... With the 2.1 OTA update just hours away, I would hold off on rooting at this point.
