If you turn the phone off then plug it up, a large battery with sloshing acid is the charge indicator and also the lightning bolt thru the battery on the screen when its turned on is also an indicator. So technically it is improved and also adding one as well.

Not true. Many of us with the original Droid (including me), manually checked for updates when 2.1 came out and it showed there being an update before any notification popped up on its own. I randomly checked the night after the first people received it, and lo and be hold I got 2.1! Not to say that everyone should be compulsive about checking for the updates. But, it does work for some of us. Whether we were going to receive the update in 5 minutes from when we checked or not, no one will know.

As my previous post states "The thing that checking it does is that you can "catch" it downloading. But it was already downloading to begin with. When it finished, it would have told you about the update."
 
If my memory serves me correctly, I believe the update does not start downloading until after you have accepted the notification pop up.

Not to say you are wrong, but when I had the G1 and we were all getting the 1.5 update, I never received the update message and then I checked it manually and it was there. I am not saying to forces the update, but it can sometimes be there before it gets pushed to the screen at least. Maybe I was just about to get it, idk.

Again, checking for system updates does NOTHING to force the update to your phone.

I thought that too until I wiped my phone down to 2.0.1 on my Droid on Tuesday and I went to check for the update and it was already 30% done and I never accepted anything.

To date, all official 2.0 -> 2.1 updates and all official 2.1 -> 2.2 updates out in the wild so far have not uninstalled any applications on any phones nor have they changed any settings or preferences. Just a straight forward upgrade.
 
I'm wondering if those hoping for root should wait to upgrade their phone. If the OTA adds anything we don't know about and it locks up a key point that the XDA hackers might have been trying to exploit. Hm... I hope that's not the case.

What says everyone here?
