Eris update has arrived

[TKinVA]

I woke up this morning to find the Eris update announcement staring me in the face as soon as I unlocked the phone. Choices were Update, Later, and More Info... -- Supposedly, the update is already on my phone, ready to install. It's 6.5 megabytes.

So I chose Later. I'm still curious about several things.

1. What will this update change or delete or destroy? According to some reports, it does a complete wipe. Or maybe not.

2. Unlike the Droid update, the Eris update doesn't promise enhancements or new features, just fixes for obscure bugs I haven't encountered.

Hardly seems worth the effort.

I think I'm going to keep pressing Later until I read reports from the braver souls out there.

I installed it.  Had to re-select which email account in my email widget I wanted.  That was the only change after install.  Seems to be a bit faster in response.  Haven't messed with it enough to notice anything else.  But it seems to be a smooth update without any serious interruption of settings.

I'm on the east coast usa, and still haven't received the update   Where r u located?

[TKinVA]

I'm in Northern Virginia.

The update message shows up about every 30 minutes or so.

So far, I've been dismissing it. Especially after reading all the things that the Droid update broke.

I also received it this morning (I am in Colorado) and it did nothing to help with the signal strength issue I have.

I'm outside of Sarasota FL & got my this morning. Fixed nothing about my GPS finding me in India. Not really worth the wait.
