Android 2.2 - Froyo

[hookbill]

Okay lets be honest......... Motorola will release the update to Verizon, Verizon will take all the good stuff out and "fix the glitches" then send it to the Droids. They will take months to do this all the time telling everyone that it has been sent to testers and that there are still some complications....... Sounds just like the months of BS we were given over the 2.1 update. Y'all don't hold your breath for a quick release of the 2.2 OTA.

I am rooted and will not go back to stock. The 2.1 update messed with my Droid so much. I personally think the custom ROMs will have the 2.2 stuff long before Verizon gets off their a$$ and put the OTA out there. That is what happened with the 2.1.

Just my opinion.

You might be right but you could be wrong too.

Did you own a Droid when all we had was 2.0? 2.0.1 went out actually before the rumored date. There wasn't any hang up from Verizon. And I'm not certain that Verizon was the one who pulled the so called "good stuff" off our version of 2.1. Maybe Motorola or Google couldn't get it to work properly.

Come on, the glass is half full.

Still there would be people left behind. My wife has had her Droid for a month now and she hasn't even mounted the Droid. I don't think she knows how to do it even. I wouldn't be surprised to see a boatload of people who are in similar situations.

I know people that are like this, this girl that I work with has an eris and she has either 1.5 or 1.6 on it, I keep on telling her about all the awesome features of it and her response is always dis-interested or "all I want is a phone to talk to people and send text messages"....

All this excitement is "dangerous"

If it doesn't come out within a month Moto's Facebook page and DF's will be lit up with threats of class action lawsuits, buying Incredibles, Motorola sucks, Verizon sucks, I'm jumping ship and finally the I demand 2.2 because I'm owed it threads : )

I see it now : )

Scary stats. I thing the 5% rooting estimate is low. And I'll go for the even 300,000 viewers.
