So my wife’s Motorola Droid got the OTA 2.1 OS upgrade (over the air upgrade, and within 24 hours died). I don’t know if these things are related, but she was treated horrible at the Verizon store. Sorry Verizon in Bangor ME, were not stupid, I know your manager is cheap and didn’t want to deal with replacing a droid. I was so mad I almost canceled her phone. They tried to tell her that light scratches around the screen were abuse or neglect. The water indicator was not red, so it was never wet, and the screen has no scratches because it had a screen protector. Its called wear and tear, the screen moves back and forth, its going to get light scratches, especially with keys and change in pockets.

Some of the cool features that were added were.

Motorola Droid users will get multitouch pinch-to-zoom capabilities (using the built-in browser), the Gallery feature (for viewing images), and a Google Maps app. The Gallery app also brings the 3D layout found on the Nexus one, live wallpapers.

Also on the Android 2.1 feature list for the Droid are new Weather and News applications and widgets, and support for voice-to-text entry from within the virtual keyboard (by tapping the microphone icon).

Android 2.1 on the Motorola Droid you will also bring better handset audio when disconnecting a wired headset, an “improved” pattern-lock functionality and automatic night-mode switch in Google Maps.

One thing that the Motorola Droid won’t get in the Android 2.1 software update is the new 3D application launcher found on the Nexus One, though despite this, most of the new features have made their way to the Droid.
