I got my A81-E couple of days ago. I now have it flashed with Android 2.1 firmware. The firmware can be found here:

The process for flashing A81E is the same as that for A81. After you format the sd card with the HPUSB tool, copy the firmware and insert the card, hold down the left volume control button that is next to the power button and then press the power button. Release the left volume control button when the unit goes into firmware update. When the firmware update starts, the screeen goes from a four colour grid to a screen that looks like a TV with no antenna attached. Make sure your unit is plugged into AC power supply and leave it for 5 minutes. When it's all done, you should see the screen calibration menu.
Sorry, if all this is already known. I just joined the forum and found it hard to follow different instructions posted all over the place.
Next stop, how to get more apps for Android 2.1 on A81E?
