If i have leaned one thing from being a Verizon user for 8 years, it is that the will do anything they can to get every $ out of you. I would not be surprised if they did not update the older phones to 2.2. In their mind this would be a strategy to get people to upgrade to a new phone.

They will update the Droid to 2.2.

Well if that was true then when I had my Blackberry Storm upgraded to 5.0 from 4.7 just 3 weeks before they released the Blackberry Storm 2.

My experience is quit a bit different then yours. And I can tell you confidently the Droid will see 2.2. I wish I could confidently tell you exactly when you'll get your update but I'll bet it will be sometime during the week after August 7.

is this an update?????

Hey, for what its worth, I just got this email from http://www.motorola.com/ . Now I'm confused....:icon_eek: :


Dear Joe,

Thanks for reaching out to Motorola. I’ve reviewed your e-mail and I’m ready to help.

Droid X Customers will also receive Android 2.2 and flash player 10.1 with an over-the-air update in the latter half of the summer. However, we have not yet received any official information if the original Droid will have the same update at the same time.

We hope that you find this information useful and look forward to assisting you in the future.

Thank you for contacting Motorola e-mail support.

Best Regards,

Leony

Exactly as I figured they are not worried about their already sold phones getting updated. That will not sell more phones...

 

[faithmusic]

I'm believing they will update the original Droid. I think it is still a popular phone. Definitely a fine phone in my opinion.

 

[vboogieman]

There is no doubt that the original motto droid is an awesome phone. I jus think we deserve to be offficially let know that there will be an upgrade to 2.2 and maybe even a aprroximate timeframe.

Not too much to ask

Well, it's like any other major software upgrade... there's so many glitches to be worked out, that they probably don't want to give a hard date and then NOT meet it. That would be worse than keeping quiet, imho anyway.

Maybe they need to hire a few of these fine ROM builders out there who are successfully getting Android 2.2 to ruin on the Droid!

now THAT'S a good idea

I've about given up on 2.2 and am ready to root my phone since Verizon and Motorola doesn't care about their customers...

That's a pretty dogmatic generalization. 90% of VZW/Android users probably don't even know what Froyo means or that 2.2 is close to coming out. Those of us that are die-hards on this forum and others know about these things so far ahead of time that it feels like we've been waiting forever, but that's not really a fair timeline to use.

Agreed. Especially since the revised release of flash was this summer any how...

But, OTOH, I agree with the idea of rooting. Previously I had no reason to root, but I am seeing my phone start to feel slow, want to have Froyo and now that it is officially unsupported, have 3/4 of my contract to play around with it....I now have 3 reasone. :/

I've been following this for quite a while and fully understand what 2.2 is and what it's about. I guess that's why I've grown impatient. I thought it was A LOT closer to release and was trying to hold off on rooting my Droid.
