2.1!
Can't wait, looks very nice, from what I've seen, and heard from others who upgraded early. I hope I'm in the first batch tomorrow ๐ post a reply if you got it, and your impressions.

Most who have rooted their phones have disabled over the air updates.
Otherwise, it probably would affect them, as the root exploit probably doesn't work for native 2.1 (most likely they have closed the loophole that allows it)
