Questions about 2.2 froyo

[musclehead84]

I have two questions. When froyo gets released is it going to be ota straight to our phones or are we going to have to download it from a website? Also I thought I read somewhere that we were getting 2.2.1 what is the difference between that and 2.2? Thanks

Ota

Froyo is 2.2, the 2.2.1 probably comes from carrier specific modifications (sprint apps, tele-nav, etc)

Ok thanks guys appreciate the responses. I saw someone saying that they had the beta froyo and it was 2.2.1 so I was just wondering if there was a difference.

im pretty sure 2.2.1 is an upgrade after 2.2 because i saw it was for droid after it got 2.2

2.2 should already have all the sprint apps and touchwiz.
ill check wheni get home cuz im in a rush right now.

but your not going to get an over tha air udpate if you are rooted. which i dont remember if you are or not

it's pretty typical in software that the number after the second dot is for bug fixes and minor tweaks. i.e. 2.2.1 is a fix of 2.2, not an upgrade per se.

No Shaun I'm not rooted. I was wondering if it was coming ota cause I saw some articles about going to samsungmobile.com to download the android 2.2 and they will have instructions on how to do it. That's why I was wondering if it was being pushedvto our phones or we have to go to a website to get it when it launches.

When it is released from Samsung, it will come OTA. Most likely you will receive a notification that a system update is available. Not necessarily "pushed" to your device, you will have to accept and approve.
