Just talked to HTC...the official line now is that OS 2.1 is coming SECOND Quarter of this year. I think Verizon blew it by promising all of us it would come out in January - just to move Erises.

Can't he just try again by dling from a different link and throwing that onto the SD card? You initiate the update when the phone is off, so he should be able to try again....in theory....I think......maybe......:confused:

I would think so.

This am when I did it, I stupidly put in my second gmail address instead of the one I really wanted to use. So I just started over, did the whole thing again and it worked great, entered the correct gmail address and perfect.

BTW, make SURE that you hit the correct volume button or you will get a red triangle, if so a battery pull should get you back to where you can try again if it locks up.
 
Just updated and am quite pleased so far! One thing I discovered, not sure if its a big deal or not, but I'm pretty confident this is NOT the final release. Why? Before when I went to the touch.facebook.com site in the browser it said at the very bottom "download facebook for your ADRwhatever" now it says "download facebook for your SDK"... hmmmmm

Damn.... Ah well, I'll wait still. But I'm still highly interested in reading what the 2.1'ers have to say.

I was very hesitant to do it as well, but reading this thread gave me the confidence to do it.

I have never had an easier phone upgrade, and that includes all of the Blackberries that I have had. ;)

VERY pleased with the update.
 
Yes, I deleted the first file. It was on a clean SD card, everything backed up. It installed, it was after the final reboot that it's been like this. Had there been clutter that was messing around with it, it wouldn't have installed in the first place.

Hey don't you think there's enough temptation out there? Why make it worse?:mad:

Nah, but really, the way I see it is simple: I've never had a smart phone, so even with the 1.5 software, the Eris is like a new toy, and that 'new' feeling still hasn't worn off yet. I figure by the time the do the OTA, that feeling would be gone by then. Plus with my luck, I'd brick the phone. :(

yeah, me too. but one funny thing i might add...static, i have like 1 bar. but as soon as i place a call, 4 bars. wierd. try placing a call. see if that changes...
Click to expand...

same thing with me, as soon as I make a call or send a text then all of the bars jumps up and when it sends, then it goes right back down to that one bar.
 
The peer pressure is killing me.

I'm going to go offline for a while to see if I can take my mind off of it. Damn you people. :D
