After I download the official 2.2 update whenever Verizon rolls it out, will I have to reconfigure my home screens, re-download apps and reconfigure app settings?
Fyi I am not rooted

The Real OTA (for lack of a better term) should not do this if you are already stock.
That's kind of what I figured. I couldn't imagine VZW would push something out that would completely reset everyone's phones. If they did, I wouldn't want to be on the help desk that week!
Cant you backup apps to your sd card using something? I think I have an app that does that, but Im not sure.
Personally, I am NOT thinking this is the final release that is going out to Verizon customers... There is NO way that Gmail would put a 0 in every sent message, and someone expect a user to Root his device to go back to 2.2 (Instead of 2.2.1) of Gmail...
Also, All Mail in Gmail was going crazy this morning when I went to that label. Gmail is the bread and butter of Android... THIS is not the final release.
AND, my friend who upgraded there Eris OTA from 1.6 to 2.1 had her system completely wiped by the update (Except of course what was on the SD card), so do not assume your device won't be wiped. I feel MORE confident that it will be, because there will be app incompatibilities.
Just my 2 cents... Other than the gmail mess, and a possible weird battery thing going on, and Sense not going landscape (Back to LauncherPro), I'm liking Froyo...

I'm of the impression that "leaks" are actually betas or release candidates that those of us living on the frontier run to help the OEM developers get the bugs out of their product.
Well, this 'leak' was talked about like it was what Verizon was going to be releasing.... Next week. Not gonna happen with this one.
But thats fine, I'm certainly not complaining, it was fun doing everything I did to upgrade to 2.2, I haven't done any of this since my Storm 2.
Either way, I still think the Incredible is one of THE best phones released.
Ahh...you scoured Crackberry daily looking for hybrids too, hoping to fix the unfixable...
you guys saying that you will have to re-do everything are not smart.
There is no way verizon would make everyone re-do everything on their phone. Nightmare.

I'm sure it will be just like any other update. You DL, it runs behind the scenes and once you restart almost everything is EXACTLY the same.
Why don't you keep your meatwrapper shut until you have something useful to say.
