My point is that stores, care reps, supervisors, managers, etc...they don't know stuff until about 48 to 72 hours in advance. Usually cuz that's when the training is.

The people who know stuff are the ones who have the 30, 60, 90 day roadmap for testing and release.

"The word", as I remember it, was simply that the 2.0 or 2.1 upgrade would be in the first quarter of 2010, and we're still very early in that. I'm as anxious for 2.0/2.1 as anyone, but let's just give it a little time.

Yup, still 50 days. I am just caught up in all this craziness and need to stay away from these forums, and enjoy the device I have.

I'm curious: Are there particular features you guys want out of 2.0? Or, are you just wanting an update?

Really the only reason I know of to want 2.0 on my Eris is for Google Maps turn by turn navigation. Are there other things I should be complaining about not having?

I feel the same way. I hear the Nexus One will be in the end of March.

there is not only the advantage of google maps navigation, but quite a few updates including updated android market plus more app capability, the possibility of greater speed due to memory organization and app controll, and one can only hope it will improve the dismal battery life on the eris.

all that being said its always nice to have the newest and most advanced as well. plus we wouldn't want the droid and N1 owners getting too smug would we?

I'm mostly just wanting Navigation. I've passed on buying a nav system for the car, believing that within several weeks I'd have it on my phone, at least a good enough version.

one of the deciding factors for me in purchasing an Eris (besides that it was $9.99 on amazon and much more beautiful than a droid) was that I already own a GPS unit and am in no hurry to get Google turn-by-turn. Once the update comes out in the next month or so, I'll just give the GPS to my girlfriend for her car

In addition to the turn by turn Nav, you'll also get screenshot preview of apps in the Market and Google's new Social Network app "Buzz" Not sure what other differences there are but those are a few I know of.

Awesome, I knew there were others, I was just curious as to what the big want of people here is.

On crackberry people would moan and groan constantly cause they didn't have the new OS, even when the phone had been out for a few months. I think most people just started to want the OS and didn't really know what it got them. I'm looking forward to seeing all the things that the 2.0 is gonna bring my Eris!
