Could someone tell me what all the fuss about the new smart dialer is about? Couldn't find much info on this. Thanks :)

The scientific calculator is here at least from 2.1. It's a HTC app, they put it on WinMo devices as well.

I am loveing this update so far. But in 2.1 you could (if you used a slow connection) turn off flash, but i can't find that anymore.. Anyone know if it's been removed??

The compus seems to have had an upgrade too.

Hay people just tried the google maps and went to street view and with 2.2 this compus is as smooth as butter unlike the jurkey control I had with 2.1. Check it out, works the way I wished it would, now I wonder how about layers?

"Instead of just the time of the next alarm time. It also shows which day."

I don't have anything showing the next alarm on the lock screen. so what exactly does this 'new feature' mean?

If you use a lockpattern. On the lockpattern screen, the time at which the next alarm will go off will show on the left. Previously it would only show the time like "09:00". Now it would also show a day like: "Fr 09:00".

This is only when using a lockpattern. It won't show on the pull-down bar screen.

So now it can do 720p @ 30Fps at sunny day.
Also i notice upload speed is 3x better ( in wifi )
and flash is preloaded, so you don't need to go to market
also better Wifi and GSM signal strength
But still no divx support...

Do you know if there is still the problem with the photos of the contacts' quality when syncing?

Can someone please (PLEASE) tell me where's the option to send a contact directly to voicemail? I can't find it anywhere.
The thing is I already had it in 1.6 on my G1 and thought its not there anymore in Android w/ Sense.

[EDIT] Never mind, I found it. Can't believe I missed it for so long, it was right in front of me.

Date format is corrupted, systemwide. Instead of days it shows just numbers from 1 to 7. Also, the battery is being sucked like hell. With the market issue, I think I will just wipe and reinstall my phone.

It's missing Plurk, Car Panel and Amazon MP3 apps, compared to the leaked 2.0.6 rom.

Great thread! That really is a substantial update. More like an upgrade I'd say.

Qs: Can you now choose which folders to view (and exclude) in the Gallery?

May have been mentioned but just tried taking a few photos with the camera and not only does it seem to auto-focus quicker but it also takes the picture much quicker, there were a good few shots I used to take which turned out blurry because it took a few seconds to focus and then take the shot and in that time my hand would start to shake slightly, it seems to have eradicated the problem now because of the speediness of it.

Good stuff. :)
