But you are probably really good at it. I work in IT on a campus that got an early release of win 7 before all of the drivers were ready. I had to reinstall windows 3 times before I got everything working just the way I wanted. By the third time, I could install it in my sleep. ;)

OH, I think I have it down to a science now. I had everything installed, logged in, back in place and running about 7 minutes after the last install. :D

HINT: Connect to a good wifi source when reinstalling all your apps. You can download just about all of them at one time. It saves A LOT of time.
 
So to revert back to the original point of this thread a bit... does anyone know remotely anything more about the ota update than we did before the leak?
 
I don't blame you all for waiting, i waited until this am just to see if any bricks happened, since I didnt see that I went for it. I carry 2 phones though, this one is NOT mission critical, and only about a 2 weeks old so why not ya know? If I used it for work, or had a couple months of tweaking I'd be in here complaining about all the 2.1 threads too ;) My wife's is still 1.5 and I'd like to keep it that way to see when the ota comes whats different etc. so no scaredy cat comments or anything like that, as cool as it seems right now I think I can say that its not worth reloading IF you have your phone they way you like it. Mine was my first android and I played with it so much it was a hot mess anyway, not anything to lose!
 
I installed the leaked rom as soon as it was made available. Yes theres a few bugs but all the new stuff outweighs them.

Google maps navigation is better than any garmin ive ever seen. Gps locks on faster in 2.1 as well.
 
does anyone know for sure (or educated guess even) if the people who download the leaked rom will still get the OTA because of it wont get the OTA then i guess i wont do it but i am ready to do it like now ... already downloaded it haha

I think that's the main reason why there are still a lot of people waiting it out, along with the fact that there's no way of going back to 1.5. That, and the small risk of bricking the eris...

....well that's why I'M waiting anyway.
 
Yea, I figured I'll wait til they fixed all the bugs. I don't need it deleting my contacts for work or anything. I'm not willing to chance it.
 
While I was typing this, my phone's notification sound went off.... I was excited for a brief moment.... but it was just a new email.

So here I am.... waiting....

You don't hate it. Secretly, deep down, you LOVE doing it :P

I don't want to reset because I spent the other night creating AnyCut Shorcuts for all my Apps...(It's so much easier to do when the Applications-to-edit load in 3 seconds not 10 minutes a piece!)
 
I am waiting it out... I think LOL.

Giving it another week or two for 2.1 OTA.

I will just feel really bad if us OTA people get more features with the OTA version and those who use the leaked one would be locked into it until someone finally ROOTS the eris.
 
I'm waiting cuz I am not technologically smart enough to run the update on my own and I don't want to screw up my phone. I will continue to wait, and allow this forum to screw with my emotions everytime someone proclaims that they (or their dad) got the update! :rolleyes:
 
I heard from a very reliable source that in 2 weeks, Friday 19, 2010, the leaked version will expire. This will leave all who updated an Eris than can be used as a paperweight.

Enjoy!

While I took the plunge, I respect those who choose to wait for the official and all of your reasons are legitimate. I don't think you're a scaredy cat if you choose not to and others don't either..the reputable members are teasing you. I guess I'm a glutton for pain because I like a beta OS that halfway breaks my phone and then I have to find a workaround or whatever. That's part of what keeps me from getting board but some don't quite look at this phone the way I do. Hopefully OTA soon and many of the bugs fixed in that version.
