I hope they had a good source for manual update, because I know it didn't work on the Incredible.

It's called Beautiful Widgets and you can download it from the Android Market.

was it the original droid? (the black motorola droid..) you would not be the first person to have that happen. i know of a couple personally that had the phone crash pretty much completely when the update came through.

I've been telling ppl that my device honestly crapped out and I keep getting negative feedback because they think I'm just a hater. I'm not, I just know a software problem when I see it. And when a device a wonderful when I buy it but is all glitchy and slow later on...hey, I didn't make the upgrades, Google did and they should fix it.

Downloaded it and have been running it for about an hour. Works great! Made a fast phone even faster :) Great work, android, Verizon, and moto!

well i got it on my dad's Droid X and it had some boot lag for the first hour but now it's running great, i can't really notice a whole lot since i use the Droid 2 and i'm used to it, just that it's big.

The funny thing is, I had the leaked 2.2 on my droid x then converted back to 2.1 and its EXACTLY the same as the leaked version. I don't like how weak the vibrate touch is while typing and scrolling left to right on a website is really slow and annoying. It doesn't feel right at all, sure flash is nice but overall I dislike 2.2 on the droid x.

Just downloaded 2.2 on my droid x and the speaker volume has drastically improved and has flash 10.1 so far so good.

Scrolling trough websites suck big time. I have it for about 2h so far so good.

speed is good but lock screen still has lag! drives me nuts!

See, this is what I've been saying (see above). Be careful because fanboys will give you negative feedback if you talk negative to the all so wonderful Android. I like what works best. I used to dislike the iPhone but now I'm considering it now that my Droid has been casterated.

it was just the droid. other phones are not affected. infact, it seems like your droid was an isolated case incident. not everyone that updated their droid (A855) had this issue.

I agree 1ghz and 2.2=laggy combo..2ghz and 2.2 froyo makes things znippy and easier to use quickly

What is the widget you are using in the video to display time and weather on the main home screen?

Wow, 11/22/10. I didn't know that it was November already, how time goes by so quickly...

Well, I got my X some time in Aug. and my first phone died on me in the middle of a conversation. Would not power back on, tried everything I could think of. In retrospect, when I first got it, I noticed how warm the back would get at times. I thought this was because I work in a floor that is "ground level" and has alot of RF around. So coverage is spotty at places. The fact that it was searching for a signal ate up the power, thus heat. IC circuits and heat don't go well together. When Verizon replaced phone the new one runs alot cooler. I'm downloading the new 2.2 update tonight. Hope it does not crash this one. I do like the phone. Coming from a Windows phone for a few years to the Android was a welcome change. So far so good.

Hey Guys I've tried to do the update on my Droid X but it does let me do it and displays "update not available at this time" and i did not even get a update notification. I there something wrong with my firmware?

the only problem that i have notice so far for me is i can't disable the slider lock screen and have just the pattern lock screen. You either have to have the slider and the pattern, just the slider or non at all. on 2.1 i had just the pattern which is what i wish i could still have.
