You have got to love the Droid Community. The Updates have started rolling out across the country. If you want to know where, check out this google map. The community will be updating it when as the OTA (Over The Air) update comes available.

How do you survive with such poor battery life? I’m sure you use your device much more frequently than I do… I was at 100% battery life at 7am and already down to 40% four hours later after only intermittent use.
Pat, I have been on my device non stop since since 6:30 this morning and I am at 70%. In the next day or so I will post the power management I do.
You should include the “must have” apps too
