Exactly. I'm running Pete's Bugless Beast, and I'm perfectly happy sticking to whatever firmware he pushes out to us. I've been on 2.1 for a month AND I have overclocking and wireless tether]]>Mar 17th 2010 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/droids-android-2-1-update-going-to-a-small-number-of-users-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/droids-android-2-1-update-going-to-a-small-number-of-users-to/Yes, it does. I finally upgraded to Bugless Beast ESE53 a week ago, and I'm never going back to a stock ROM. BB V0.8 overclocked to 1ghz - it's like having a whole new phone all over again.

Plus - we get the cool features everyone whines about the nexus one having WAY before stock users.]]>Mar 17th 2010 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/droids-android-2-1-update-going-to-a-small-number-of-users-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/droids-android-2-1-update-going-to-a-small-number-of-users-to/

Everyone's should already. It was in an update to the GMAPS app that came out like a month ago (version 4046). It is actually very nice the old nav would blind you at night even with the screen brightness turned down. now you don't kill people when you use it.]]>Mar 17th 2010 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/droids-android-2-1-update-going-to-a-small-number-of-users-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/droids-android-2-1-update-going-to-a-small-number-of-users-to/Mar 17th 2010 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/droids-android-2-1-update-going-to-a-small-number-of-users-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/droids-android-2-1-update-going-to-a-small-number-of-users-to/Mar 17th 2010 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/droids-android-2-1-update-going-to-a-small-number-of-users-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/droids-android-2-1-update-going-to-a-small-number-of-users-to/

Um, false. You can sync via Exchange Activesync IF AND ONLY IF you turn off security policies, which any corporation with a brain does not do. Can't enforce a PIN password, can't remote wipe the device, can't encrypt the data.

Sure you can get a 3rd party product like Touchdown, but it keeps the email and contacts and calendar in it's own little sandbox. So when I set up my device, my "main contacts" do not get populated with my exchagne contacts so when folks call me or whatnot, they are not linked.

This is why it sits in my drawer. It's fun as hell to use, but I can't support them with my work policies.
