I agree 100%. The evo section is just chaos! Everyone had to make a new thread even though their question was just asked and possibly answered. Not to mention the multiple threads about it being out. It got really frustrating. No body would read or listen because they wanted it now. Regardless is they were rooted or not. Now I wounder how many threads we will see about rooted the new OTA.

ok sorry about the rant but I had to get that out. Also, not bashing the OP.

Well what kind of help are you looking for? There isn't much difference in the visional part of it.

Most or alot of people would love to have Froyo on their phone still. Instead of waiting to see what kind of problems or bugs that might come along they just installed it. Then alot of apps wouldn't work because they wasn't compatible.

If you are thinking about rooting then don't do the update. If not and still want it, then upgrade manually. Lets see if I remember where it is. Been a long time since I upgraded on Sense.

Settings, go to the bottom and select the next to last option I believe. You should see where you can update your prl, firmware, plus others.
