Metal skin now is included in sense 2.1. It's sweet!

Agreed. So far everything runs great. Swype acted weird at first and facebook force closed but after a reboot everything settled down and is fine. Launcher Pro is not installing fully but meh. The performance upgrade is a fair trade-off.

Just did a new software update check on the setting menu and it's downloading now. Our wi-fi pretty quick, so I'm hoping that their servers are too and it won't take forever.

Okay just woke up in nyc and got a notice to update. I did with WiFi on and it did the whole update in under 15min.

Now that I have done it. Is there a list anywhere of what's new option wise and stuff?

Some new things are: support for wireless charging, quick settings tab in notification bar. Downloads app. Performance tweaks. Metal skin in skin chooser. Probably more, that's what I see so far.

It's more of a tweak update than anything else, nothing to get wood over but it makes a great thing even better.

I'm biting the bullet and downloading it now (OTA GB). Realistically, I won't rootthis thing, as I enjoy it as is, and don't want to mess with screwing it up. Maybe next droid phone I will, or do this one when I get another phone just to see how smoothly it goes.

how long did it take for you all?

 

[Stelv]

It took about 20mins to download and install for me. It's been running good all day so far.

Can I do the update even if I rooted my phone? Will it just unroot it or will it screw up my device? BTW, is it 2.3.3 or 2.3.4??

It's 2.3.3. I am not sure if it will screw anything up. I would find a way to return to stock unrooted, then update, if you want the update. But if you are already rooted you can probably just use a Gingerbread based rom instead.

Just a tip that I learned from updates on my previous Droids -- I would always do a soft reset (battery pull) after the initial install. We can do that on ours by selecting Reboot. Don't ask me why, but the update seemed better after that.

They should have named this release 'Gingersnap'. All of the screens and app loads 'snap' open, an appreciable increase in speed with everything.

A very good release so far.
