2.1 leaked for Eris

Does this enable google maps navigation?

I just flashed my Eris, and somehow, magically, it worked on the first try. I somehow accidentally erased all of my email contacts (being over-cautious and under-thoughtful), but that has nothing to do with the update (just me being stupid). It didn't bother me too much because I have my contacts on another email and I can just export them again with no problems.

Phone-wise, I like the feel of the 2.1!! I agree with other posters who say the keyboard feels 'snappier'. I just flashed my phone a couple hours ago, so nothing major as of yet. I do like having the Droid version of the marketplace, though, where the apps are separated better (Free/Paid/Verizon). The stock clock widget is also pretty cool - it's snowing here, and my phone reflects that by dropping little snowflakes that pile up in the corners of my phone when I unlock it. ^^ I managed to kill the poor little guy's battery in less than a couple of hours because I was reloading all my previous apps and playing with stuff.

All little things...after a few days I'll post again and hopefully provide some actual insight rather than mere observation

Yes, also make sure you update Google Maps on the Market to get the latest version (4.0).

Any one figured out how to get skype on updated eris. It doesn't show up on the market. I copied the zip from the droid to the eris but I cant install because the apkinstaller doesn't show up in the eris market either.

Don't see hbooter

Does it delete all your apps and contacts? I'm not concerned about my apps, but i have a lot of time in contact list!

Your contacts are always backed up in your gmail account.

I didn't have all my contacts in my gmail account and had to create all of them by hand. Is there a way to back them up from my phone to gmail?

Maybe someone can help me, I have read all 14 pages of posts, but i still can not get my wifes Eris to Update, I HBOOT, FASTBOOT, BOOTLOADER, it loads then goes back to the original screen. I did get the caution symbol once, is that supposed to happen or is it a screw up?

[ronsurf69]

OK, now it worked. I re-downloaded the file from a different site. Made sure windows did not un-zip and it worked immediately when I started up. If anyone else has the same problems try it that way. It actually asked if I wanted to update. Now comes the fun.
