As per BGR: Froyo to be released end of July, beginning of August....

[DougFNJ]

As per BGR:

"We just received a juicy tip about the HTC DROID Incredible software update schedule that we?d like to share. One of our strategically placed Ninjas was kind enough to pass along an email from HTC that read as follows:
I wanted to pass along that the upcoming Incredible MR will also include Froyo (originally it was going to be two separate MRs).
We are targeting the end of the month/first part of August. As a reminder, below are the highlights:
Froyo
802.11 n
3G Mobile Hot Spot
HTC Widget: Email
HTC Widget: News
EAS Updates
720p Video Recording
Amazon MP3
Skype
My Verizon
Obviously, the news here is that the Incredible update that began rolling out this weekend will ? in all likelihood ? be halted, and a sexier, Froyo-inclusive update will be pushed out in the coming weeks. The update will also include 802.11n Wi-Fi support, 3G Mobile Hot Spot, 720p video recording, and more. Not bad news for Incredible owners. What do you think? Is Android 2.2 worth an extra few weeks of waiting?"

I'll take that update

 

[Stormhead77]

Works for me! Bring it on...

 

[davidnc]

Yeah I'm ready to see that update.I guess I will be willing to wait that much longer, just hope it sooner then later though

 

[Argent]

Not going to hold my breath....

 

[Ksquare]

Dang guess im gonna order my incredible tomorrow then

 

[BBKik]

Sweet about the time I actually have my phone in hand I should have the update as well, the wait for my phone sucks!

 

[Prospekt]

I'll gladly wait the extra few weeks for Froyo.

 

[Dperks17]

Mmmmmmmmm froyoooooooooooo!!!

 

[Kyle Gibb]

I just want to remind everyone that this is an unconfirmed rumor... If we (or anyone else) gets official word from HTC or Verizon, we will post it. Until then, take it all with a grain of salt.

That said, I WANTS ME SOME FROYO HTC plzkthx. =P

 

[Lynx]

Ya I saw this earlier also... I just hope we get FroYo soon

I still find it hard to believe that 2.2 can increase the phone's performance by 450% of whatever it was.

That is just ridiculous.

87% of all people are more likely to believe what you say when you include a random percentage.

I forgot where I heard that one, but I love it

 

[sloan31]

I won't be pissed if it doesn't happen, as 2.1 and root offers me everything I need anyway.

 

[iJason#WN]

What if you did the manual update that was leaked? Will this update still come as an OTA?

 

[staffordjm]

Does this count as "confirmation"??

All these grains of salt are starting to add up, I think I'm becoming dehydrated.

Either way, this phone is sweet as it is, although I do loves me some frozen yogurt. There better be sprinkles on top or else this fella ain't gonna a happy camper.

They left out that this update has an app that will build you an island, and then it ****ing transforms into a jet and flies you there.

Will believe it when I see it

After waiting and waiting and waiting for the Droid Eris to get updated to 2.1, and seeing one update date pass by and then another. Then waiting for the N1 to launch for Verizon.......ughhhhhh. I will not get all hyped up and will take a wait and see approach.
