OTA Update Starting today?

Possible improvement in reception/radio management? If not too invasive, post Droid's area code (as it may not coincide with location/regristration location).


Not to get to off topic but I did some tests with my brother in law over the weekend using my wireless network. He has an iphone 3gs. What I noticed was, the Droid consistently beat his phone when it came to loading an entire page (i.e. The Droid finished loading first about 8 out of 10 times). But, the iphone loaded less of the site to begin with before displaying i.e. the iphone would start displaying the page after about 10-15% was loaded and continue to populate the page as it loaded. The Droid seemed to want to load at least 50% of the page before displaying anything. This gave the impression the iphone was faster overall when it was not.

Perhaps they have just tweaked how much of the page needs to be loaded before it starts actually displaying something.
