Froyo ETA Set

[cleopete]

Froyo for most people won't even be noticed. As I and others have said, it is really not that big of a deal at all. Flash comes with it but you will see that it's pretty useless. It's a bit faster but the X is already fast. The changes are so small that 9 out 10 won't know the difference.

Automatic Updates. I'm gonna notice that.

Mets fan. 'Nuff said. At least we can still spank the Pirates...

Cardinals fan here. They usually wait until the playoffs to stomp on my heart, although this year they seem to want to spare me that misery.

For $ 23.99/month. Google had it built in but vzw blocked it.

Perfect!

 

[hossberry]

it's all apple's fault and that damn evil overlord STEVE JOBS he has the plan for global takeover

 

[jamesc]

I don't know if Steve Jobs has enough money to buy Google...

I'll bet RIM would help him out, it would be great for their business.

Just spotted this at Droid Life. Motorola and Adobe hosting an event tomorrow with the tagline "Droid Does Flash". The pic even includes a Droid X running flash. Coincidence? Maybe an announcement of the 2.2 OTA for Droid X is coming?

Just got off the phone with VZW tech support at 3:30 PM. He said that update is being released slowly NOW. He said that he had talked to a few people that had already received it yesterday and today.

Just spoke to Donna at Motorola tech support. She verified that 2.2 has been rolled out for Droid X!
Told me to keep checking my phone, as she couldn't give me a date for my specific phone, but it has been released.

im going to say BS, if that was the case the verizon page would have been updated and the motorolla forums would have incidated as such

to bad the X can "pull" updates. meaning that when the update is available the user can pull it right away instead of waiting for it to be pushed.

Again I call BS

You calling BS on me? Call Moto and VZW.

Not on you. On Verizon. They always tell you what you want to hear.

As I've stated before:

Kids kids, The Reps with VZW or MOTO aren't lying!

They're just stupid!

They cannot help it!

2.2 isn't being rolled out today. They aren't sending out new devices with 2.2.....or even refurbs with 2.2

If that was the case, all the sad little nerds who sit around these forums all day staring at their phone (myself included), would spread the ACTUAL FACT of that happening like wildfire.

Bottom line?

VZW and Moto reps you talk to don't know crap. They get paid minimum wage to sit and answer phone calls from pissed off customers.

Many of you are fresh faces, but we've gone through this before with the Droid.

With the 2.1 AND 2.2 updates for it. VZW support on the phone had many responses to those rollouts:

Yes, its out now.
Yes, its being rolled out this week.
What is 2.2?

So sit back, relax, and wait. Because we won't know anything REAL until it ACTUALLY happens.

 

[sniffs]

^^ Exactly.

If any of you here believe that the higher ups in VZ/Motorola, who know when it'll be released, tell the minimum wage workers who probably hate their job.. I have a big green bridge I want to sell you.. please IM me for more details!.

How could anyone tell? I haven't been able to get anything other than "Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later." for the last month or so (with one exception last week). I cannot imagine what a nightmare this upgrade is going to be if the update site is overwhelmed with people just CHECKING for the update! UGH!

Hopefully, there will be an official web-based upgrade site so that we can get it immediately without waiting for the LONG roll out (see that of the Droid (1))!
