NEWS FROM HP! I talked to them today NOT GOOD

Also, as others have said, Downloading and installing the doctors would return everything to factory settings and may fix your problems. Doctors, to me, are a last ditch effort. In the end though, I don't see how an update to 2.x would do anything to your phone to fix your problems that a doctor wouldn't do. Your specific problems are not addressed in the 2.1 update.

EDIT: I say last ditch as they tend to delete text messages, phone history, web history, etc... A doctor will NOT delete apps you have downloaded and contacts.
