Yeah there is definitely a new community ROM coming out according to Adrynalyne's EC01 ROM post... It will probably put the stock Froyo release to shame..
I quote "This ROM is ever so slightly tweaked. It is not a quality release by my standards (mostly because its stock). I recommend folks wait for the community rom to be finished. If you can't wait, by all means, flash away.
Just for something to do, I updated to 2.2 from Verizon. A couple of quick notes:
1. It includes google search, google maps, google voice and gmail (along with Bing of coarse).
2. It includes the rumored media hub.
3. Normal bloatware along with Madden NFL 11
It takes a while to download. Actually updates and restarts pretty quick. I plan on rooting and playing soon but wanted to at least see what Verizon was trying to do to make this phone better for those who do not root.
I will probably restore my backup tomorrow and then wait for the community rom. Just an FYI for those wondering.
Why is everyone bashing 2.9.2 and battery life? I'm on 2.9.2 and EC01 with Honeycomb 4.2 and I unplugged my phone from the charger this morning around 6 am and its 945 pm now and still showing 73% battery ?
My thoughts exactly! My battery life SUCKED on the most recent version of the leak. I switched to 2.9.2, and once I got my Sleep of Death issue resolved, my battery life is awesome!!

At first SC was messing with my battery life but I followed the directions on another thread to reset battery stats and has been great ever since.
So if I want to try the OTA update do I need to un-root?
I am worried that it might brick the phone?
Thoughts?
