Besides the few obvious changes like live wallpapers, pinch to zoom, etc. Have you found any other changes that you really like or dislike? Seems to run good for me, but I guess I was just expecting more. What do you think?
Personally, I want my Cyanogen back...
It seems to run well enough for me - all my apps are working just fine. But it seems like we got gip'd. The Milestone got 9 screens, we still need an app to go beyond 3.
Overall, it doesn't seem like it got us very much.

I said several times to people who were rooted and contemplated going back to stock to get the update, NOT to unroot for the OTA 2.1. I feel bad for some of you that had your hopes and dreams pinned on this update ...it was never supposed to be THAT big of a deal but somehow, it got blown out of proportion.
So far I'm just happy that it seems to be running snappy, Google earth is fun and fairly snappy.
I can't complain, it was put out to be a bug fix and I think it did exactly that.
Yeah, I am clueless why it got so blown out of proportion. We've known for a while exactly what was going to be on this update (ever since the ese53 leaked).Well the most obvious change is no more "When are we getting 2.1 update" threads!
This will soon be replaced with "When are we getting Flash 10.1" threads. At least now...there is REALLY something to look forward to!

I went through and uninstalled everything I don't want/use before updating, I now have 190mb free! Im sure I'll be reinstalling some though soon.Oh no doubt, its a fat girl. but it is fun. I'm sure I will uninstall it as I need more memory but even with it and close to 40 other apps installed I have 170M Free so it doesn't look like I'll need to uninstall it anytime soon.
Here's a nice one:
If you put your phone on vibrate, it won't interrupt your music anymore when you get a notification. You'll only get the vibrate.
Whereas in 2.0.1, it would cut out the music (but not play any sound).

Don't be mistaken..people saw 2.1 on the Nexus One and wanted it. People were talking about live wallpapers and '3d' gallery.. Droid users felt left out. Other carriers rushed to announce a 2.1 update...so it was bridging the gap. My phone does feel slightly more capable now, and it's not a huge leap..but it's a decent update and they fixed quirks. Google Earth is there. To bad the new launcher is missing and Adobe drooped the ball with flash(but the N1 doesn't have it either so..). So anyone thinking it was going to make the Droid different than what it already was were fooling themselves...but all in all it's a nice update.
I'm a little hesitant to do the official 2.1 update. I already have all of the new upgrades that 2.1 offers except live wallpapers.
If i update I'm going to lose root, wi-fi tether, and most importantly 1ghz overclock. So idk if it's worth it yet for me.
???
If you are comtemplating unrooting...you are running the wrong ROM.
Dont start talking about flash or it'll be a disappointment too. hahahaha pretty funny, where is 2.1 where is 2.1 where is 2.1
now its oh, its a disappointment
flash is where its at, should be out soon i bet
