I was happy when my Droid Incredible updated to Android 2.2, but I didn’t realize how happy I was until today when Verizon sent an e-mail listing all the new features.
- Improved Web browsing with pre-installed Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1 for Android.
- Support for 720p video recording.
- Transfer data faster with 801.11n Wi-Fi capabilities.

JavaScript heavy pages. - With Android 2.2, you can rotate your screen 270 degrees --either to the left or to the right when moving from portrait to landscape mode to work with apps in more directions.
- A new Mail Stream widget increases ease of use.
- Text Message Widget.
The new text message widget offers fast access to your messages from the home screen with a quick swipe. Scroll up and down through the list of all your text conversations in one screen. Keep the conversation going, faster. - Automatic app updates.

downloaded with automatically updated Android Market™ apps.
And you can choose to store applications in your device’s memory or on a storage card for more capacity. - Play Visual Voicemail messages through speakers when connected to Bluetooth® car kit.

So far I’ve been very happy. The only negative I’ve experienced is that the number pad that pops up in-call (when trying to input passwords or interface with on-line menu systems) will not accept input. This is a fairly substantial problem that I hope to remedy soon. I can’t find anyone else experiencing this, so I’m wondering what the hell is up.
