Hello, I have a rooted stock rom Droid X 2.2 which has no issues and I'm very pleased with. I don't see anything in the 2.2.1 update that makes me want to upgrade. But I am curious about one feature mentioned in the Verizon announcement under enhancements : What is the Data Widget on home panel? What is it used for? Thanks

Its just small 1x1 widget that has "Data Usage: [MB] / [MB]  as of [date]"

 

Pretty useless since Droid owners are required to have an unlimited data plan (the widget has "UNLIMITED" on denominator)

Actually, Droid users can get a 150MB $15/month plan also. I believe this widget is also a shortcut to more info on your acct such as minutes used, texts sent, and ability to change features on your plan.

I'm curious also, as I received the update yesterday but do not see a "data widget" on any of the home screens.  Not that I need it since I have the unlimited plan, but I'm still curious.

Just figured it out. Long press on home screen and press android widgets. You will see it in there.
