OTA Update Starting today?

Will we be able to switch from the new lockscreen to the old lockscreen, or does the update completely get rid of the old lockscreen.​

About the same, so its still really choppy and terrible? Thats too bad, i was looking forward to the phone being smoother, but i guess i have to wait for a custom rom for that.

Sure wish I was able to see what others see sometimes. My home screen is not "choppy" at all. I wonder if what people call choppy isnt the way the homescreens actually work, in that if you release your finger before you've scrolled halfway into the new screen it will spring back into the old screen.
 
When i say the homescreen is choppy, its because when i drag the screen over, i don't see the homescreen move, i just see the middle screen, and then a moment later i see the left screen without any intermediate animation

I've been checking my phone every 30 seconds since I first saw this post...most of us "doubters" were probably being sarcastic or joking around. Don't take everything on the tubes so seriously, Al Gore doesn't.

No update yet here in Lancaster, PA.

Hey hey! I'm from Lancaster too! Crazy.. didn't think I'd meet another lancaster person here! I've yet to find anyone near me that has a Droid! haha
 
This is something I just found out that is pretty cool. Download the latest Google Maps. Open it, select menu, layers, more layers, my maps...and select DROID 1st OTA Update. This lets you view the progress of updates via your phone.

that would be choppy....i've never had that problem on mine
 
has any one checked in their dowload folder on the SD card to see if the package was saved there? i am guessing the package had to be saved somewhere. this would make it easy to upload for the rest of us :)

Really?! That is definetly not how my home screen acts.. The background picture scrolls very smoothly ocasionally on big widgets I'll see them stutter for just a fraction of a second as they move along but it isnt anything I'd even notice unless I'm really looking for it.
 
really? do you guys just swipe between screens extremely slowly? The only way i've been able to get around the choppiness is to install pandahome. I can't believe you guys don't experience any choppiness on the homescreens, just about every review of this phone mentioned it.
 
I just spoke with VZN. Apparently you can get bumped up in the update list if you hold the phone in the air, and jump as high as you can. She also mentioned that if you wear a tinfoil hat it will improve reception, and probably speed the update process.

I believe you can get the update via satellite if you updated Maps.

I'll post a video later of my homescreen and how it scrolls.. Even if I flick my finger across quickly it scrolls across to that screen.. It does not jump to it.
