I am downloading the update now, thank you for that.

Will see if it improves things for me, especially with the keyboard. @summatusmentis: I have also found some things particular to my work and school that I've had difficulty with. For instance, my professor posted a video that required Flash, so the eDGe was not able to play it (and perhaps the update will fix that problem as well). I cannot log in to a dos-based server on campus for some job-specific work, though I have a co-worker looking into some work-arounds for that so hopefully that problem can be solved as well. Will let you know as I come across others. I've not been able to get my email set up correctly, though I used the same settings as my Droid phone, and I can't at this point even figure out how to delete that account so that I can attempt a new setup!
As I said, I'm a Windows girl at heart, so maybe its just me needing to give it more time to become accustomed to the Android OS. If I can get to that point and do my basic work and school functions, I will be thrilled with the device.
