Installed last night. R2-D2 still chirps away but after a nasty red Motorola symbol not the old white one. Almost all the UI skin change just feels horribly out of place with the rest of the phones design. I still have all the R2 stuff, but the color scheme choices seem a direct port of the regular D2 version, and that is unfortunate. Rather than complementary colors to the shell (such as silvers, bright blues and whites) we get slate blues and cyans. The UI itself is better, albeit I think it was too much eye candy vs performance. I’m honestly disappointed in the appearance, it is a step back from the 2.2 uniformity (I know feel like I have a phone with a fake outer shell. The previous version was much better integrated with the overall design not amazing but better. I understand Motorola and Verizon probably didn’t want to spend a lot of time with their artists reskinning this, and it shows.

4.5.601 has bugs. There better be a fix release out for this soon! Voice recognition sucks… worse than before. Typing a space brings up a random word. Hate new way to navigate around an SMS as it moves around the screen so fast you can’t make it stop in the middle of an SMS… it jumps from the top to the bottom. Hate the new market browser that was actually before gingerbread. Numerous other quirks and annoying issues and bugs. Hate it. I was totally happy with driod but now I want my iphone in April when I’m due for an upgrade.

I LOVE the update. The phone is MUCH faster now, easier to use, and looks much much better. I’m not going to lie, I was gettin tired of little r2 misbehaving so much and was planning on changing phones, but this new update has fixed all of the problems i’ve been having as of late. Wont be changing phones anytime soon now.

Are (were) you rooted? If so, did you have to unroot for the update to take affect?

Mine updated this morning. Love the new look. Subtle changes, like the notification bar at the top being blue instead of white. Phone runs a ton smoother, and downloads are much quicker…..I love it!!!!
