I WANT!!! How will I know if I have the update ready to install on my phone? Will the Marketplace update icon show up on the top of the screen?
Stupid question, I'm sure...but is there any difference in the OTA update that's now being sent out versus the manual one I installed from on here?

So, there's no difference even though Verizon/Motorola supposedly pulled the original update to fix an unknown bug?

Infomationweek.com reports:
A manual update for the Droid, build FRG01B, was made available via non-official channels last week. Though that update works, it is not the final version of Android 2.2 being offered to the Droid. The final software version is build FRG22. If you updated your device manually to FRG01B, make sure your device eventually updates to FRG22.
I explained in this thread how I know its the same update

Also the md5 is the same so it pretty much has to be the same file.
To put it in simple terms, [...] no-one has ever produced an MD5 collision of a file in the wild. The only collisions were very specially crafted files where the contents were almost identical, but through clever manipulation of the file presented different parts of the file when displayed to create the appearance of the possibility of substantially different data producing the same hash...

Actually, if the MD5 is the same it IS the same to a virtual certainty. I found the following quote from a reputable source...
There's no way for them to know this. Why would Verizon be pushing out FRG01B if FRG22 is the official one? Obviously the FRG01B is being made available through official channels this week so that's just not true. Someone said they called Verizon and they told him that FRG22 was an old build and FRG01B was the newer one. There's no way to know for sure, but Verizon or Motorola haven't come out and said there was anything wrong with FRG01B, just that flash wasn't available. If there was something wrong with it, they wouldn't be pushing it out this week.
Did anybody actually receive the update notification on their phone last week? Or were the only updates done manually over the Internet from the file found on Google's server?
