[comegatohate7]

[ibuggle]

I do not think tha this is the default home and apps list.

That looks like iphone.

[heavycheck]

does droid 2.1 come on the phone when you buy it or is it separate thing you have to download later?

[kleb100]

Is android 2.1 faster than android 2.0 on the motorola milestone(droid)?

[jatovolimjako]

@kleb100 a lot faster...

[iBuildBody]

[hmcheek]

2.1 came out to droid like a week ago and you can have up to 3,5,7,9 screens plus animated wallpapers,

Live wallpapers are now available, others can now be installed from Market.

Facebook App and Widget

Names, profile pictures, and status will can be implemented into your Contacts.

A widget can be placed on one of your homescreens

[checo165]

does it have instant messages or i have to get the app???

[maiki999]

hey... i got a question, is it possible that the phone updated itself from 1,5 to 2,1 over the night ? coz i woke up today finding that my phone is totaly diferent xD... i was wasted so i dont know what i did with it

[craigcrawford1988]

I have the UK Milestone and I used RSDLite to avoid the wait for the OTA update.

Got my 2.1 running and it's smooth and much better!

[onlychicanomex]

I just update my droid but it doesn't look like u show in the video the menu still looking like before nd it doesn't have 6 homes :s the only thing that is different is the gallery nd the wallpapers can anybody xplain me why?? Please!!!

[KoolMB]

@onlychicanomex this is a custom firmware. the OTA update is different.

[black0tag]

i just got my update and it is a little different.

[dantanasgirl]

BUT HOW DO YOU DOWNLOAD IT!!!

[shortax]

the camera is alot faster

[StuntMan0077]

when does the official update come out?

[soulweaponry]

Sometime before june. Gizmodo says the update is rolling out now but we don't know for sure

[NewProductions]

It came out yesterday for the Droid but it won't be on all the phones until Saturday or Sunday.

[RyanAndrewLarson]

@NewProductions Motorola said they would push out the 2.1 update for the Droid but they cancelled it last minute ago.

Still waiting. :( Check out Moto's facebook.

[midgetman433]

whre is the live wallpaper???

[danielsarpa]

you forgot to show how your keyboard lights dont work

[serggamer97]

Sony Ericsson X10 cool!

[TheLiljordan23]

its not goin to update for lyke hella long

[DJNuWave]

Haha someone can't count ... its 5 screens ... and this is a terrible 2.1 version ... gps doesn't work ... real 2.1 will have multi-touch browser and gallery and a few other things ... official OTA update from Verizon will be sometime in Feb. no official date yet.

[brandonnscott]

Um yea...notice this was made 2 months ago?

[DJNuWave]

Yeh I did but it just shows why you don't upload beta operating systems.

[brandonnscott]

uhhhh okay?

[BlakMastachief]

@DJNuWave so y the fuck are you acting pissy

[Kilmonjaro117]

when will they actually update this to 2.1 officially?

[driverx125]

Sometime this week.

[DJNuWave]

WRONG :)

[Dyslogy]

Please PM me what are you using as a case and/or screen cover for your droid if you have a moment. Thanks!

[brandonnscott]

No case, just a verizon screen protector.

[SofaKingAwesome23]

no live wallpaper?

[06k20z1]

dammmmmmmmmmmmmn! anyway to get 2.1 on the g1?

[brandonnscott]

Yeah fixed....sorry

[LeBubblez]

CAN YOU PLZ PUT A NEW LINK!!!!! this one doesnt work!

[Blueflagproductions]

ugh i want this phone so fucking bad but cant find a way to pay for the data plan

[EndoliteMatrix]

@Blueflagproductions lmfao, poor sack of shit, you can't afford 30 dollars a month and a cheap plan? I know kids working at KFC who are paying for an Droid, and they are supporting their kids.... sure it aint the best way to live, but he can actually budget himself.

[Blueflagproductions]

theres no where that hires my age and why the hell would i wanna smell like fried chicken wtf?

[DatNiggaBril]

@brandonscott y dosent ya gps work

[InfernalTempestX]

I counted 5 homescreens... Not 6

[micronova7]

the requested topic does not exist (link fail) can you post a new link?

[Kilmonjaro117]

will this ever officially come to Droid?

[brandonnscott]

Yes, it will!

[swnzpd]

2.1? is that what the nexus 1 is running right now?

[Dirnes]

yes

but do not buy this mobilephone

buy sony ericsson x10 ;DD

[swnzpd]

I already have a droid :P

[chilly556]

yup

[nijyman]

@swnzpd yes

[darkworldskater]

Yeah.

[iamthebestfromyou]

LOL. I live in Clarksville too.

[FuzzySnuckums]

how did you get 2.1?

[zavulon06]

wonder what this firmware is going to be like on motorola cliq. i have one of those, and 1.5 cupcake looks pretty boring compared to this

[johnny82330]

how can i get this on my droid?!?!?!?!?!

[omegax2x]

The Head of Motorola says that the Droid will get 2.1 in the Nexus One Q&A. The rumor of release is January 21st.

[cherrydodge07]

POst a Link TO YOur Info Yea?

[cknight91]

Will this be available OVA?

[korp93]

2.1 is suppose to be released in the next couple days officially!!!!!!!

[AceFlare983]

when does this come out

[sora778]

repost link in description as it does not exist in the forum

[reznorfan78]

Guess what you'll be able to do on the next iphone.....

Thats right, only what mother apple says you can do. And allll the little kool aid drinking applebots will slurp it right up.

[fourzero40]

Droid is already a better phone, just not better sales.

[keyboardtalk]

Oh my goodness, that looks AWESOME! I can't wait until it's officially released for droid!

[AndroidHD]

check my video : [News] Nexus One apps running on Droid [HD]

[ky13kid]

didi u say that the navi doesnt work, and didn u find any problems with this update

[ppaaam]

What's the name of the widget on the right screen? Thanks

[kurijiko]

@ppaaam

Power Control

From Left to Right:

Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sync, AutoBrightness

[cardinalpower119]

looks so sweet, but im not downloading it until its officially released.

[jrizk07]

@latiszm - 2.1 is going to be released on the Nexus One and google has already shown that 2.1 is out.

So as far as you know, you're wrong

[latiszm]

I dont see that this is the Nexus rom?

[latiszm]

And the Nexus is months away, so I doubt this is a final 2.1 version of Android....

[brandonnscott]

this is not the final version. this is a hacked together version of 2.1 that was dumped from the nexus one.

[Doubledee90]

That looks sweet, cant wait until it gets officially released

[kouthoops21]

great video man

[RomeoWhiteChannel]

Снова  жалкое подобие iPhone ...

[Bobarevich]

Так что теперь нельзя придумывать телефоны на сенсоре ? Или что ? Айфон еще то барахло.

[RomeoWhiteChannel]

Надо придумывать новые технологии, новые варианты, а не скины менять ...

[javaliscious]

my iphone is better :)

[FichDak]

@javaliscious get a life

[snakeeater213]

Your iphone it´s Shit

[jfjackson]

thanks i'm glad i saw this video everybody who is complaining about it should eat shit

[tight686]

why is everyone being a dick? its a good enough video if you are curious about 2.1

[DaSpurTitan]

unlike, others i found this video good, and useful

[jubjub3434]

I believe that android 2.1 is rumored to arrive on both the Droid Eris and the Droid on Jan. 22nd

[brandonnscott]

Here's a bit of common sense:

DON'T WATCH THE DAMN VIDEO IF IT'S NOT UP TO YOUR STANDARDS.

[NotASocialCommentary]

@brandonnscott

Just because you made a crap video, you have "standards" ? :3

[brandonnscott]

It was a quick video just to get it out there fast.

If you look at my other videos they're much better quality

[Dreamrio]

Where did you get Android 2.1 and how did you flash it?

[damentz2]

@Dreamrio watch the video, that's what youtube is for

[WARZONEfilms]

it looks amazing

[BluMonkiSpartan]

wtf...what does that have to do with android?

[burningjelly4lyfe]

how doesnt it have to do with android would be a better question

[gandhisfist]

Its 5 home screens, not 6. He didn't show the home screen quick menu that you get by holding down the dots in either of the bottom corners either. The rom really isn't that much faster than the stock 2.0.1 rom either.

[Kbrlite]

i wonder if it will ever go on sale outside the us? its GSM no?

[kipknots]

The GSM version is the milestone and has already been released in Germany and the UK.

[Kbrlite]

thnx.. i currently live in Thailand and i got the iPhone in the 'underground' market like a year or 2 before it was released offcially..Im sure the droid or milestone will appear here in a few weeks.

[idontcaresocry]

and the world is still waiting for a phone better than iphone..

scrolling on this seems to suck hard ^^

[kingaustin24]

@idontcaresocry I own an ipod touch and the droid, droid wins HANDS DOWN.

[vonfeldt7]

Then you've obviously never used one. It's actually really great and extremely smooth.

Blinded by the Apple.

[Kbrlite]

dude this phone is pretty awesome...the screen looks orgasmic. (thru hd video)

[brandonblock13]

I've owned both an iPhone and now a Droid. With this 2.1 update, the Droid is getting closer to the iPhone. I actually don't care for the slide out keyboard, but other than that I have been pleasantly surprised.

[SickAudi]

me to, i just got my droid today, i use my iphone 3g as a fricken ipod now lol, i dont have 2.1 yet but im sure it will come out soon and this phone is siick dude!

[zdan420]

@SickAudi Lol I know right me too. The poor iPhone feels like a flashy toy now.

[SickAudi]

haha ya dude. it does! i use some wifi apps on the iphone but other then that it stays at home haha

[ellismarkman]

nvm

[ellismarkman]

Is the homescreen scrolling smoother than on android 2.0? Do you understand what I am saying?

[brandonnscott]

yes, i am uploading a video right now addressing that

[ellismarkman]

Were you answering me or zakattakk1

[brandonnscott]

you lol but it's not gonna be uploaded till tomrrow, seeing as how my internet just went out.

[zakattakk1]

if you dont like android 2.1 can you go back to android 2.0?

[brandonblock13]

Yes, you can go back to 2.01 if you don't care for 2.1, but you will like it.

[fmxperson]

wait... wtf... you live in clarksville?

[bdbplatano]

Dude, you need a Dell, err.. I mean Screebl. (Android Marketplace) Check it out.

[blaker440]

I really like the animations.

[eric09236]

I like your wallpaper. Is it Flan built in?

Thank you!

[brandonnscott]

yes it's one of the default ones

[evilvampbabe]

hey u can download dolphin browser it supports pinch to zoom! :)

[artschneider]

When you receive a call, are the contact photos still lo-res? Thanks for the vid!

[d5kenn]

There's probably a button on your digital camera with a picture of a flower on or next to it. Please press it next time! Or hold the phone farther away from the screen - believe me, small and in-focus is better than close and fuzzy.

[brandonnscott]

It was on macro focus, it's just a crappy cam

Look on my channel, i've posted a better (still not great) quality video

[SOSTrooper]

hows the scrolling on the web browser? I hate the jerky scroll within the browser on the 2.0

[brandonnscott]

it's still kind of jerky, but it's much better

[TisSDN]

Show off the music player if you get a chance, please.

[brandonnscott]

its exactly the same as 2.0

[TisSDN]

@brandonnscott damn. was hoping 2.1 brought some visual improvements. Oh well, thanx for replying.

[TisSDN]

Thanx for the vid, appreciate it

[majdijr]

the apps drawer is finally gone and replaced with something a lot better, that's great. But the weird thing, why 6 home screen panels !!! i mean why its not 5 !! that's somehow dumb, what will be the center screen ?

Anyway, did you notice new features other than being faster ?

[dJrizzle12]

He made a mistake when he said 6, it's actually 5. He corrected himself in his follow up video

[brandonnscott]

yes thank you. i can't count :P lol

[bf2modsde]

woah that looks AWESOME.

[SanzaBlancoAkA2C]

Has the music player been updated in 2.1?

[brandonnscott]

nope..same as always

[marquesbrownlee]

6 screens oh yess can't wait to upgrade my droid

[benjc82]

maybe learn how to record IN FOCUS before you comment on technology... ?

[brandonnscott]

crappy camera..im rerecording with my flip tonight.

Chill.

[Branhower1]

@benjc82 Autofocus sucks, even on $3,000 cameras.

[benjc82]

@Branhower1 A shame... nice UI though from what I can see. NEED! Hoping the new Nexus One phone is gonna be good... Got an HTC Hero which is great, but needs more power.

[Fotenks]

Wow, the interface just keeps getting better, smoother,  and more streamlined!!! Android is King.

[yankeesuckk2004]

what do you mean no gps? you said it has navagation but no gps?

[brandonnscott]

The GPS isn't working in this build.

[macdoggy42]

It has A-GPS by using the radio towers, the sattelite GPS drivers are apparently not working yet.

[brandonblock13]

the new build has the GPS working just as it should. no worries with the GPS now.

[rhythmnsmoke]

Sweet, cause I need that.

[crystalceline]

please show the multitasking with the little cards like on the Pre.

[brandonnscott]

I tried to find that lol not sure how to activate it..

[crystalceline]

maybe if you press the square in the middle a bit longer

[brandonnscott]

Ah figured it out, you have to long press to the left or right of the square to activate them.

Oh well, not worth making another video just to show that,

[crystalceline]

coool! show it! :-D

[angel2901]

I think its not meant for multi-tasking but to show you all your homescreens.

[macdoggy42]

The cards are only for the home screens, not apps. :(

[richlux]

Do all the scrolling items (email, contacts, etc.) have the "bounce back" effect when you get to the top and bottom? This appears to be new with 2.1

[brandonnscott]

Just checked and no it does not have the bounce back effect.

[richlux]

bummer. Is the bounce back in the application screen new? I don't remember that in 2.0 on the Droid

[brandonnscott]

Yep it is new on 2,1

[richlux]

I hope they add it to email eventually. I'm always swiping down multiple times to make sure I'm at the end.

[PAPERCLlPS]

That is beautiful. Very fast, really do want an android device now.
