Wonder if I should run through the streets like Steve Martin shouting "Froyo is here! Froyo is here!".
Let the games begin!

Sorry for the hellstorm I probably just started...

I to received email message at 3:21 today titled "New Software Update for your Droid". I have not had a Droid prior to buying a Droid X. The phone pictured is a Droid 1 not a Droid X and no where does it say Droid X. Going to Settings and checking for updates says phone is up to date. Well hopefully this means it coming soon.

I also got that email. My husband has Droid 1 and he has gotten the update, he is on 2.2. I have Droid X and when I go to do the update it just says : checking for available update....... and that's it... It never does anything. So.... hmmm.

OOPS!!
The email says "Droid", not "Droid X". Geez, I thought the original Droid had already received the update.
That's what I get for thinking...

verizon has been slinging that froyo crap for months they are too busy editing the software so they can charge you extra for certain features.
There are very few noticable features with the froyo for droid that would be deemed usefull such as using your phone as a wired (USB) wifi hot spot 20.00 a month extra on top of the already purchased 30.00 a month data plan.
most of it is cosmetic to make it look cool its not worth all the hype.and it defenately doesnt do much for the speed of the device.
The droid x already has most of the features of the froyo update using the 2.1 software
wireless hot spot up to 5 computers = 20.00 a month on top of the already purchased data plan
Block buster movies - a fee based app
DLNA works only if you have a compatable device to use it
Back up assistant - google does the same
City ID - a fee based app
media share not worth the headache getting it to work
voice commcand
turn by turn navigation
there is very little froyo is going to do to enhance the droid x
When it comes you will see its not all its made up to be its highly over rated by verizon and verizons not informing anyone of the fees associated with the use of certain upgraded features the 2.2 does have.
Verizon is making a mountain out of a mole hill

Well...i've been against everyone complaining about froyo not coming out, but i definately want the upgrade. My original Droid was upgraded to 2.2 w/ some great custom roms. 2.2 IS a very good "minor" upgrade to 2.1. and I have been enjoying 2.2 on my Droid X since the "unofficial, official" update that showed up online. I will revert to stock 2.1 and do the OTA as soon as it is available to me.
The only 'fee" based service is tethering....in this case as a wifi hotspot, which is a hardware feature of the X that is not available in the original droid or most other smartphones....that is not a 2.2 feature. Plus, tethering has ALWAYS been extra, regardless of Droid or Win Mobile or BB.
I will agree with you about the preinstalled apps....crap i want to take off my phone ASAP. But those don't have anything to do with the 2.2 upgrade so i don't really know why you even mention them. Besides, you can just choose not to use them. I don't use "paint" on my windows computer but I am not mad at MS for including it.
Verizon never highly overrated 2.2. Actually, there isnt much (relatively speeking) anywhere about 2.2 from verizon except for the fact that Flash is going to be available. And, this isnt just a Verizon thing...2.2 and Android are talked about all over the wireless industry just as much as here. The mountain was made all over the internet by bloggers, tech sites and by forum posters alike.
From experience I KNOW that 2.2 IS a great update and everyone should be excited about it....so i guess my conclusion is that you are kind of wrong here.
