I found my Droid was a bit more responsive and had a lot less crashes... there's another update rumored to be coming out on 1/11/10... wonder what this will fix??
The rumor on droidforums.net is that there will be 5 screens for those who have already downloaded a "sneak peek" of the 2.1 OS. I'm looking forward to it to, as I prefer to see more of the icons and less folders, but I needed certain widgets, so they're taking up all the space... Gee....life's tough, isn't it? LOL
I feel like the droid can handle one more 'row' it seems our widgets/icons are a bit to spaced out....
I don't mind the space between widgets & icons...if they were too close together, Id be squinting with my old, tired eyes.
That's true. I also realized the spacing makes it a bit more finger friendly.... ...but sometimes i wish my widgets would just fill more of the screen, like the way it did on...::gasp::...WinMo (back then you could even have the widgets overlapping slightly).....
I agree that they could fix it and probably be able to add one more widget space to make it 5 across if they wanted to. I think, though, when the 2.1 comes out (I'm not installing it early), it'll be nice to have the 5 screens at that point.
It seems we may not get the extra home screens after all.... https://motorola-global-portal.cust..._id/42208/display_style/redesign/prod_id/7155
Actually you can get the 5 home screens, and the new launcher without waiting for 2.1 or rooting your phone, and you get additional wallpapers from the 2.1 build (not the live wallpaper) install and enjoy 2.1 Launcher2.apk now for 2.0.1!!
