its about time!
Given every other rumor, unless I hear it from Verizon, I'm not trusting it.
Mid-Late July, August 18th, August 28th, August 27th, Sept. 1st, etc.
They're all rumors until Verizon says otherwise. Don't trust the blogs and news outlets.
For example, as of 5 minutes ago, their Twitter support is still saying they do not have any information about the Froyo update for the HTC Droid Incredible: http://twitter.com/VZWSupport
No clue to be honest, but that's where the August 18th update was "publicly" debunked.
The blog article makes a reference to the support articles which has two PDFs:
http://support.vzw.com/pdf/system_update/incredible.pdf
http://support.vzw.com/pdf/system_update/incredible_instructions.pdf
There is no release date posted on the website, and the PDFs were created on the 25th (check the document properties). It sounds like the blog author stumbled across this and took it as if they were releasing it tomorrow.
Since Verizon has changed the specs on the Incredible to 2.2, it seems they expect new Incredibles to be shipped with 2.2.
So, the rollout should be tomorrow..... could take up to 2 weeks for everyone to get it though.
clearly 2 pdfs are available about 2.2 so update is imminent. I think all of you who have been anxious for the update are going to be sadly disappointed. Reason. This phone is already fantastic and is the state of the art smartphone. The upgrade is indeed minor.
the pdfs are available and the 2.2 will be tomorrow. not a very big deal because this phone is INCREDIBLE RIGHT NOW!
Well if you go to page to buy the Dinc it does say it includes android 2.2. So somebody is most likely getting it. I would say that more or less verifies it but of course anything could change.
I also saw that on there web site, (Verizon's that is) if you go to there purchase page and look at the technical specs for the HTC Droid Incredible it says 2.2 Android for the OS.
Those links do show it is coming up though I will not hold my breath on it being tomorrow till I see Verizon post the links to the pdf files themselves on the Incredible site. It is nice to see light at the end of the tunnel though.
The link I really want to see is the one to the official update files for manual download.
I imagine that it will eventually end up here:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/droid-incredible-verizon/downloads/
However, the HTC support site currently doesn't have any news indicating that the official update is happening soon either and there are no files other than the ones that have been there since April.
Actually, I would like to see instructions that tell us how to avoid data loss like texts, pictures from texts, purchased applications and whatever else is on the phone when we perform the update.
How do we back up the contents of the phone? I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit version and have never gotten HTC Sync to work with my phone in any way other than being able to set up the memory card as external storage that I can transfer files to and from.
Thank you.
ok guys...check this out go to phone and devices click on the incredible and check the specs. it's being sold with 2.2 in it so we should be getting the update very soon!
yep
Honestly i cant believe i have been sitting around during my idle time wondering when this thing is going to come out. it is **bleep** and some are just so full of it. why do we have a community on verizons own site and they cant even give a straight answer. guess good business for them. especially for those who cant or couldnt wait for the 2.2 and bought a phone with it on it.. there is no proof til its on my phone. how sad is it that the store doesnt even know that the phone is being advertised having the 2.2 on it. verizon is starting to bug me, ive been with em since they were a child. been a loyal customer and praise all the time. just seems now they are getting too big for their pants and purposely messing with people. great you want to roll out something that works, then quiet your people up dont say a word, stop tweets, facebooks, and whatever else out there.til its official. the customers are what keep you going take care of them.
