For one, because it's not as if the Droid's keyboard is debilitating. Besides, the phones aren't locked down - you can download a rooted ROM from Motorola! It's not a big hurdle, it's just that these devices JUST came out, and hackers are still appreciating how shiny their brand new screen is.

After more reading, HTC is supposed to get android 2.0 (theyre apparently waiting to port their Sense UI) in Dec or Jan.  Cool.

The changes is 2.0 are mostly cosmetic. Google maps navigation relies on it, but I don't recall any other useful features that it added.

Apparently not.

Cool. Most devices will probably end up getting 2.0 anyways, though - if not officially, at least by the hacking community.

Which HTC do you mean?  I have the G1 by HTC, and I'm running the Navigation client on my phone.

Sorry, since this thread was re: DROID (therefore VZW)...I just assumed we we're talking about HTC Eris (which runs 1.5)

another thread re: root.

I guess there is a leaked android 2.1 for HTC

I read about that (2.1 for Hero I think?), but I didn't get the impression it was a leak - thought it was an official update. Not sure about that, just what I seem to recall.
