I still love my droid; other than the tiny storage (only 16GB), it is great...and update 2.2 is going to give a 350% speed increase plus flash support!

Hey, at least I know I'll get flash before the iPhone does!

BTW...flash video already works great...all we need now is flash apps, and I don't really care too much about those.

Look like nobody is whipping the programmer for causing the scroll to lag.
