And still...I wait...but I'm still happy.

Still waiting in New Hampshire.

I really don't understand why they don't make it a server based sign in site where the update is available to those who want Gingerbread. Whatever. I know I can install it through other means but I already rooted the phone by which I saw a few small improvements but diminishing in the end. Nothing too much of a reason to root.

I then factory reset the phone because the dialer app died...that sucked. Started from scratch from there. I don't have any real major issues with the phone. I do, however, reboot the phone once a day at least. At one point before rooting the the KILL APP function I had 100 Mb ram free at random times. Pandora did skip strangely. That was annoying. The phone did reboot occasionally...but no big deal. It reboots within a minute. The gallery was very slow and did become better with sd boost but even better with a different picture/video app like quickpic.

Overall, I like the phone. Hell, I even like my wifes Thunderbolt. It is as smooth as glass and we don't even have 4g. The screen quality gripes I find ridiculous. I am not part of the denial mafia as I once read. I see wtheck is being said but the brightness of the screen more than makes up for it when I am outside using Golf Tracker Pro. oh yea. Now that Netflix is available Im even 1000 percent more satisfied watching Sons of Anarchy.

This phone is good....but I'll admit...I want Gingerbread NOW. Not a big deal either way. If its pissing you off get outside and leave the dang thing behind...its not TEOTW. I agree, I wish launching were more stable, but then there would be simply more complaints about delays. I choice to enter into this technologically advanced testing phase of our lifetimes. Cars used to suck a lot more too. Whatever, just be in awe of what these phones can do. Its half or more a replacement of a full computer. Especially, if you don't game.

Android is life changing....period. I could write a book about why...be happier.
 
Where abouts in NH because I am near Manchester, and I checked mine first thing when I woke up this morning manually, and sure enough, had an update, went through and it has been flawless.... it's like a new phone... NO lag whatsoever. no quirks or bugs (so far at least) I love the new icons too. You should be getting it soon though if I got mine.

regarding your dialer app crashing its possible you could have removed or frozen the wrong bloat. That is a known issue. Also if you still have system files that have been removed or renamed or frozen then your never going to get the update. You can be rooted but all of the system files have to be in place and not renamed or frozen in order for you to receive it.
 
As I was driving to Concord today the update became available. I started to download starting in Hillsboro and it was finished by the time I got out of my meeting in Concord.

Looks great so far. Tons of free memory. 150mb+ most times. No skips on Pandora for a 3 hour run at work. Video works better than ever even on Sd card. Benchmark scores are about the same but I am learning they are about pointless.

Even happier now.
