    Can I be an admin of my own phone? I would like the ability to perform a remote wipe if I ever lose my phone.

    ...or is my company's exchange server admin the only one that has this access? (this is my personal phone that my company allows me to access my work e-mail on)

    What does this mean? Does my company now have access to wipe my device? Do I now have access to wipe my device remotely if I lose it?

    If so, how do I access these additional features?

    The exchange server admin would be the only person to do it this way. I think there are some apps out there that would allow the entire device to be wiped remotely if needed by a trigger word text message. Take a look around as I do not remember any specifically.

    I still have the FRG22D update sitting on my desk top. I wouldn't wait for an OTA really, this is just a patch. If you do it yourself less chance of something going wrong.

    I go the update this morning. Went to the market and D/Led Flash. Flash appears to work on a web page, although it is very slow. (I was on my wifi network, laptop is fast)

    There is no icon in my app drawer for Flash. Is that normal?

    If I go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications , I see an icon there.
    Droid does some cool and amazing things. Yet it does not do some basic stuff that has been stock on most phones for years. It makes me think the Google developers were marooned in some kind of a 1977 LOST flashback/flashforward/sideways combo reality gameshow

    Yes, that is normal. Flash is not an app. It is a plug-in.

    If you download the app "Adobe Showcase," you can test out your new flash plug-in with recommendations for sites optimized for flash.
