HTC Incredible - Getting FROYO 2.2 NOW?!?!

Because this is the first phone to have 2.2 for Verizon. So i'm excited for the incredible and this means since verizon has released and approved it for the incredible... droid x will be coming very soon... the official one I mean :D

Hate to burst your bubble but the 1st phone to get 2.2 was the Droid. The Droid 2 was the first phone with 2.2 pre-installed.

I am pretty sure that the official release of the 2.2 udate is going to be a bit different for the Incredible as opposed to what it will be for the X due to the differences with the UI's.

And it is NOT the first phone from Verizon to have 2.2.

The even more interesting fun fact.

Its the 4th phone to even receive a 2.2 update? So think about all the android phones out there and then realize the other 2 phones that have received the update were Verizon phones

For all those impatient people wishing Droid X had the update already, think about the other users who are still not even on 2.x yet.

I'm a little annoyed. It was being said a few weeks ago that the Incredible would get 2.2 after the X.

Actually, the very first date for the Inc to get Froyo was last nights mention of starting the update today. Absolutely everything before that was a rumor, and each time it was proven wrong. It is no ones fault except your own if you ever believed any of those dates.

In fact: This should be good news. Now that the Inc, D1 and D2 all have Froyo: That leaves only the DX out of the headline phones. IE: You can bet it's coming soon...perhaps even just as the Inc finishes it's rollout ( Sep. 3 is supposed to be the last day according to the twitter announcement. ) Also, keep in mind: You too may not even hear about it until the very day before like the Incredible. So, don't worry too much if you aren't hearing anything, and have patience.

Yeah, but the 2.2 you are running is not the official OTA, that you had to void your warranty for it.

Sorry, but some users are patient enough to wait for the official 2.2 to be legally pushed onto their phones.

Legally? Are the Froyo police going to be knocking at my door? :)

I'm not butthurt because the Inc is getting it first (officially). The leaked version fixed all my minor issues with my X. I have no complaints and I am sure I will have the official release in good time.

Um the Incredible is at least the 5th to get Froyo: Nexus One, Evo, Droid, Droid 2, Incredible. That's if you don't count all the leaks and ROM loads people have been doing.

Should I be waiting for Barney Fife to come knock on my door because I have installed a 2.2 that moto or google probably leaked on purpose? By the way..I know who shot Kennedy...it was Froyo!

It must be tough being you, all paranoid about everything. The black helicopters will be landing on my roof soon and the Motorola SWAT team is going to storm my house to take away my leaked updated X! :rolleyes:
