    poults is right -- your provider should upgrade you eventually, but you can root your phone if you're getting impatient and use one of a number of custom roms that are out there. 2.1 update for my phone (Sprint HTC Hero) is supposed to come early 2Q, so I'm just trying to wait it out...

      Waiting too....inmpatiently. I NEED one of the apps for work, but it requires 1.6 or better and HTC here is only 1.5. FFFF!!!!

        It sets your data sync to happen every x minutes instead of real-time... who really needs their Google Calendar syncing every minute? The free version of this thing has extended my Android battery life by 1-2 days by changing it to sync every 15 minutes. I'm thinking about paying for the full version ($4), because it basically disables all data sync during sleep schedules to further maximize battery life

          This looks awesome! Unfortunately, it isn't compatible with my 1.5 Hero. Can't wait for the 2.1 update...

                  Had it for a bit, but I found that I didn't really use it, and when I did, it didn't seem to work that well, although in fairness, who knows if that's a waze issue or a GPS issue. Cool concept, though, may give it another go at some point...

                    Don't get too used to it -- we're getting an update to Android OS 2.1 within the next couple of weeks, purportedly. April 9 is the rumor. Should be a significant upgrade, too:

                    better stability
                    better facebook integration
                    live wallpapers
                    access to more apps
                    more multitouch gestures

                    good stuff!

                        Startup Auditor for android.

                        Spint navigation was always randomly starting and draining my battery. Now with this app, I can block programs from randomly starting up, or set certain conditions for which they are allowed to start. Nearly tripled my battery life.

                            I have yet to hear of an Android facebook app that doesn't absolutely suck, on any Android OS. Really embarrassingly bad, IMO. With more an more android apps coming out, I'm hoping it will encourage developers to get on the stick...

                              I really like Ringer Toggle Widget, makes it so fast to go from ringer/vibrate/silent. The widget is hideous but thats ok. I really like the game Bebbled.
