Finally!

Can anyone confirm this? The other news posts suggest a March 18th release.

Still no Bluetooth dialing support? Is it even conceivable that we will STILL not have this basic feature?

Can confirm. Got the update this morning. Pinch-to-zoom is great, but the best new feature is the improved voice-to-text! New Gallery GUI is cool. Live wallpaper is OK, but no additional home screens, so I'll be reinstalling dxHome and sacrificing the cool new wallpapers.

OK, I got the 2.1 update for the Motorola Droid. It doesn't have the 5 home screens that the generic 2.1 version has. Also, when using the news / weather widget to view an article, there is no way to zoom in at all so the print is very small. No pinch zoom, no +/- buttons, like the basic browser has, no zoom settings to resize at all. The pinch zoom is not supported by system utilities or most apps. Ironically, the rotate of the home screen still doesn't happen. It does work since it normally is portrait mode but when you open the keyboard, it goes into landscape display mode. Very strange they don't support their own rotation guidelines...

Overall, 2.1 is nothing to write home about.
