One of the reasons I originally posted this...
was because I too had downloaded "Earth" some weeks ago. Then, I'm alerted that an update was available, BUT the instructions indicated you should uninstall the previous version before installing the new one otherwise it would use up too much space. So, that's what I did. Then of course, when I tried to download the "new" version; nada.
As others have found, it simply can't be searched in the new market. It does show on AppBrain, but when you click the link, you get the message I described in the first post and no download. I also tried sending the link directly to the phone but, again no joy. One of the things that made me suspicious of Verizon was that ususally AppBrain will will indicate that a given App will not work on 2.1. In this case, AppBrain makes no such stipulation. Also, the google forums make no mention of any of this so it appears Google is unaware it won't work on 2.1.
Hopefully, 2.2 will come along soon and this won't be an issue. That said, my years of experience with with Verizon makes me leary of them in terms of this kind of crap. I wish there was some way to reinstall the version of earth I had since I feel I was tricked into uninstalling it.
