To get rid of extra / duplicate contacts, log on to gmail via pc and edit, re-sync contacts on phone - should fix issue.

Two items with 2.1 that I really appreciate. they might have worked in 1.5, but with changes they work now

-- commas between numbers DO create pauses in dialing and the # sign really works as hard pause. in 1.5 my numbers showed with ,'s and #'s but never worked. Here they actually do. that is good for all the conference bridges I have to get on
-- I think sync between computer and phone works a lot better for contacts than it did under 1.5 - at least contacts to outlook

Still miss the "favorites" button on the phone dialing. In 2.1 that button is history, not favorites. That I dont like and is a pain

and, would have like to have seen the google voice keyboard for speach-to-text built into the application

MAIL Contact Addresses

OK, just noticed that sync/2.1 did mess up a number of email addresses in my contacts. Appears that if I had 1 email address, sync worked well. If I had 2, sometimes a 3rd was created with one of the first 2. however, if I had 3 email addresses, sometimes all 3 were replaced by the primary email address for that person. that was not good. having to clean that up now......

Has anyone installed the voice to text on the keyboard with this update? Google navigator has it, but why not the keyboard? Im wondering if theres an add on that can be downloaded.

I am using the XDA keyboard for speech to text in all fields, works perfect.

The XDA keyboard I tried works and all but it takes up like 6MB of memory. Did I download the wrong one? You have a link?

dont have a link, I downloaded it weeks ago. You want the 1.6+ low res version though.

i tried to get teh xda keyboard to work and either I dont know know how to start it or it did not work the 2.1 from sprint. I could not find the voice button on the keyboard and in fact did not look any different.

suggestions on that?

Did you activate it? If so, you have to hold down where you would type for a few seconds and it will bring up the option to use the XDA keyboard.

That did activate the keyboard - thanks. pretty nice feature. wished it would work through headset, but .... one day text messaging will work through my car M$ sync and I will be as happy as a bug in a rug....

I know that i first reported battery, but after more than 24+ hours on this, I admit I was wrong. Battery in standby is last lots longer.

another plus is that it seems link to BT is stronger with less dropping and BT to the M$ sync in car connects faster. In addition, when I drop headset connection and want to connect to Sync, it works without having to reboot phone and/or BT.

Plus, i spend a lot of time on different confernce bridges and this version dials the ,'s as well as the #'s.

all in all, if Sprint is going to release it soon, well it would be worth the wait but my guess is not live for a while and this is worth it to me, even if i have to rebuild it again...... i needed the dialing enhancements and BT.

[brownhornet]

Yea but from what I see no live wallpapers and voice to text are killers for me since I already have that now.

I am going to be curious to see if the same features are being pulled from the Eris's version of 2.1 or is Sprint gimping this version on purpose. My sister has an Eris and once Sprint's official update is out I am going to do a head to head comparison. It seems like HTC has 2.1 working with SENSE on a bunch of phones including the mid range HTC Wildfire for Europe that was just annouced.
(Specs-wise, it has a 3.2-inch QVGA capacitive touchscreen, and 5MP camera with auto focus and LED flash, Bluetooth, GPS/AGPS, Wi-Fi, and a 3.5mm jack. ROM is 512MB, RAM 384MB, and it runs on a Qualcomm MSM7225 528 MHz processor—during a hands-on session with it the phone didn't lag noticeably, though of course that could change once it's loaded up with apps and media. Battery life is listed at a pretty average 1300mAh.) full story....
