Yeah, I went through all this "wringing of the hands" and "drooling" when I had the Eris... So let me just be thankful for the DINC! It's miles better than what I had! I'm enjoying not dropping calls... a kickin' camera... and a fast interface! And I wouldn't have Sprint's signal strength anyway! When the update comes, then my phone will be all that the EVO has (for the most part) and the BEST signal and coverage. What good is 4G anyway without a network to back it up? I guess to say you had the status of having a "4G phone" is worth more to some people than me! As they say: IT AIN'T ALL THAT!
spoke with verizon again. we will get an update to 2.2. i think it will be in september. i don't see a separate maintenance update coming. time to either wait it out even though other phones are getting it first or go get one of those other phones. i plan on waiting
I think what irks a lot of people is that the EVO has gotten 2.2 before the Incredible. They have basically the same software (2.1 with Sense) moving to 2.2 with Sense. The Incredible was out a month before the EVO, and it's looking like it will get 2.2 one month after the EVO.
I understand the Moto Droid getting 2.2 first, it was out first and is stock android. I'm actually surprised that it hadn't gotten 2.2 earlier, considering how long the Nexus One has had it and they are basically the same as far as software goes. Anybody who got a phone with Sense, Motoblur, or Touchwiz understands that stock android will be updated first. But when a phone with a skinned android released a month later gets it first it makes you wonder why. Now if the X gets 2.2 before the Incredible, I am done sticking up for Verizon. I will be looking at ALL options when my contract is up, maybe even before. It should come on a first come (ie release) first serve basis in the interests of fairness. I have no problem with stock android getting it first, but with the skinned android builds I believe it's only fair.
I know that this is about the maintenance OTA, but since they decided to roll that in with 2.2, now those who have issues with their phone (audio drop out, low signal, grounding issue) have to wait even longer because they wanted to do 1 update instead of 2. Funny thing is the EVO got an update a few weeks back to fix those issues. What'd be nice is at least let us know when they're shooting for as far as release date. They could put any disclamers they wanted to, but at least give people an idea of when, rather than just "before Christmas". I've talked with both HTC and Verizon, and both say either "no info" or "talk to (the other guy)".
not really that interested in the really MINOR improvements and hype about Froyo, 2.2., etc. What is important is solving the problem of the garbled voice quality. This HTC customer service has promised.
Today I begged Verizon to give me an idea if we were looking at days, weeks, or months so I could decide to move to the X or wait it out. I just want my phone to work decently as a phone.
It is all about the call improvements not the froyo. I will love froyo, but I want to make calls.
She could not tell me anything date wise but gave me a few options. I wont go into the rest of the conversation, but I am in waiting mode and no closer to knowing when.
What does your source say? He may have been wrong, but I love intrigue.

There are fixes for the bugs. I have uh heard that it is much faster with better battery life and new software for the radio which gives much better signals.
This is hilarious and how we dinc owners are starting to feel waiting for Froyo.
