Got a new phone with 2.2

Wow, there is a world of difference between 2.2 and 1.6! I got a new phone, the MyTouch 4G and it moves fast. Plus I now get to tether edge if I need to connect and there's no WiFi around. nice! I can't wait to see how the edge responds to the update.

Nice! I am thinking of getting an HTC Desire Z with 2.2 partly so I can tether, but was worried that it wouldn't work with the eDGe since I figured that in addition to 2.2 the phone would need special hardware (like the EVO 4G) to broadcast in infrastructure mode so the eDGe can see it.

Which phone do you have? Is it one that creates a hotspot for several devices like the Evo 4G?

TMobile - MyTouch 4G. The edge logs on just fine, it creates an encrypted WiFi spot with log in just like a router. The MyTouch has pretty decent specs and 2 cameras, one front for video chat one rear with an LCD flash.

I have to admit that I got into the android party vicariously through a fiend who had a 1.6 device I loved it. my own android time started with my EVO and 2.2 and I do like it a lot, but I have to admit to a soft spot for the 1.6 as I first touched the os on that version. Having said that, if 2.2 can come with not too much muss, which it sounds like Entourage is working hard to do, then it should spruce up both devices for sure!
