so i just noticed the camera is totally different and doesn't take forever!!! now if we could only get zoom.
You can probably pick up a 2 Gb micro SD from a camera or electronics shop for under $30.
I am in seattle as well and still no update, any reason for this? Does anyone know how they order these things? Im not impatient, just curious

Hey everyone,
Just a quick question - I'm a HTC Magic user in the UK. It's supposed to be for Vodafone UK, but since it's unlocked I'm using it on Orange UK.
Does anybody know if Donut and future updates are made available directly from Google to the handset, or does the Carrier supply the update?
When I first switched the phone on, it found updates and installed them so I am hoping they are provided by Google, which would mean I still get them.
Orange UK does not carry the HTC Magic so I assume Orange themselves will not push any updates for that handset.
Thanks in advance for any info.

My GF got her update about 430pm yesterday Twin Cities, MN.
One thing I thought was strange, although we have the same market now, they show different apps. Every market page we went to listed different apps.
She is running stock 1.6 and I have Cy. 4.1.11.1, both on TMO and at same address in Twin Cities.
Anyone got a clue why the market would not show the same app list ? I thought it was carriere/country specific ?

I just got the notice for the update when I looked at my phone around 9 this morning in central Florida. likein the new market but I noticed my youtube widget is gone and now looks like a box from the market... still lookin into what donut is supposed to be for. Sorry for all of you haveing problems
myTouch, Seattle, 206: Mine was waiting when I got up this morning about 7:30am PDT.
All I can say is that dxTop and the phone it self is running a lot more smoothly than it was before. Even the virutal keyboard isn't laggy
Of course, I don't restart my phone unless I need to which is about every 10 days.
Anyway, the best feature seems the undocumented performance improvements and I assume those come from the kernel upgrade!

Bump on that old boy.
Am I waiting for the update to come to my UK Hero on Orange for nothing?

It came to Oregon yesterday afternoon. I have had all the versions since the beginning on my G1 and have to say this one has the fewest obvious changes and has caused the most problems. Nearly half my apps had to be upgraded. It took many tries to even get into the Market, probably because everyone else was updating apps, too. Unfortunately, most everything is slower now--many waits and quits--and even Wi-Fi connections are more finicky. Hopefully problems will shake out in time.
Now that I have had a day to play with it, they fixed the portrait<->landscape transition that I had thought was responsible for more than an occasional force closed.
I also suspect, with the gesture support, they updated the touch screen driver.
And did I mention 90% of the lag is gone?

It tells you your system is up-to-date. I tried prior to getting the update notification.
