OK this is weird; some kid on a flying skateboard just dropped a copy of the Washington Post on my stoop.
HTC Incredible to get Froyo on September 1st!
August 25, 2012 (Washington Post) – In Android news, while users of the HTC Inconceivable, the LTE, CDMA, EVDO, Wi-Max, AM, FM, CB, Push to Talk and Short Wave, phone, available on Verizon Wireless, anxiously await their update to android 3.0, code named Honeycomb; loyal HTC Incredible owners are still awaiting the long rumored “Froyo Update.”
Sources inside Verizon’s testing labs suggest that this, the 512th Release Candidate for “Froyo,” is almost ready and that the antiquated OTA servers for Verizon’s 3G network will be re-activated soon. Anxious users stand by their phones diligently awaiting the notice that their systems were no longer “currently up to date” and that their devices were now “Update Available.”
“I never thought I’d see the day,” said Android Central poster
tony bag o doughnuts, “I’m just so emotional right now. My 156th replacement DInc just came in the mail today!”
Qazme, an Android Central member ranked as an “Android Deity” because of his 234,549,034,290 posts on the site stated: “I rooted back in early 2010, I’ve been running Honeycomb on my DInc for a month now, bug free, with radio 5.2.0.12.9.6.2. I don’t know why people are waiting for the Froyo OTA.”

mclarryjr has not slept in 18 months merging and re-merging various threads in the forums relating to the long rumored release date for the HTC Incredible. When asked how he remained so diligent for so long he simply stated; “I drink a lot of coffee, really, a lot of coffee. It hasn’t really affected me any, …LOOKOUT…, negative ways. I take breaks for the hockey, but… HEREITCOMESAGAIN… other than that, I just merge and close, merge and close.”
A spokesman for Verizon stated, “we hope to have Froyo out for the Incredible soon, however there is no release date at this time.” There is a link on the Verizon website for all update related news for the HTC Incredible, however when we checked the link was not active.
An anxious user base awaits.
