Oh man, give me my update!

Can't waiiit.

HKYStormFront · 03-17-2010, 12:32 PM

some of my favorite apps right now:

LookOut (security and antivirus)
TasKiller (force closes any open programs, can help speed up the phone)
Live Scores (until ESPN has a good stats app, this one works fine)
Weatherbug
Pandora

Some freebies...
Voice Recorder
Shazam (iD's songs by "sampling" them, impressive)
Key Ring (you can scan all your store cards, etc into your phone and display them there instead of keeping them on your keyring)
EasyTether (backup internet access for your laptop)
Gstrings (guitar/bass tuner)
RadarNow (local radar by GPS location)
Ringdroid (lets you convert your own mp3's into custom ringtones)
Speedtest (test your 3 and wifi speeds)
Unit Converter
ConnectBot (ssh program to connect remotely)
Spirit Level (it's a level)

HKYStormFront · 03-17-2010, 06:15 PM

MightyBobo · 03-17-2010, 06:59 PM

Uggg, only 10000 over 48 hours?! I CANNOT LIVE LIKE THIS!

theDreamer · 03-17-2010, 07:13 PM

Yeah it sucks, and I will be at the end of the line.

Though I have been reading and it seems that a few hours after the update is released we can just download the official one from "unofficial" places and it is the same. Not sure on this 100% as this is my first go around with Android, but if true I might do this so I do not have to wait.

MightyBobo · 03-17-2010, 07:32 PM

Well if Im lucky they will do day-1 buyers first :-p

BTW, thats what I did for 2.0.1 - got tired of waiting, and I downloaded the update from an unofficial source. It worked like a champ.

Wow, I had no idea how many DROIDS were on the market....and its even more than this number now of course.

theDreamer · 03-18-2010, 09:41 AM

Yeah, saw that last night, one reason I am looking for 2.1 so I can just update myself since I was near 1 million.
If anyone finds an official download let me know so I can update please.

HKYStormFront · 03-18-2010, 10:13 AM

Haha yeah I was thinking about waiting till my phone wants to update on its own... now I'm not so sure lol

theDreamer · 03-18-2010, 10:14 AM

Yeah, it is going to take at least 5 groups to get through all the droid users, which for each group is a few days.

theDreamer · 03-18-2010, 12:33 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, maybe next week.
