Why is every tech website claiming that the gingerbread release is past the soak stage and available for OTA update to all starting today , and people are saying they have gotten the update already today, but I still see no download???

 

I even saw a page from the motorola website with a statement saying that the soak test was a success and that it was being released officially starting 11:59 last night.

They usually send updates in batches to avoid the network being overloaded with to many downloads.  You may have to give it a few days.

Ooooohhh.... is that how it works? 

 

bc I see this page... http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Support/US-EN/Mobile%20Phones/A955/Verizon/RN_DROID%202_Gingerbr...

and I get excited....

 

then I see this page... http://support.vzw.com/system_update/droid_2.html

and I get frustrated.

Your R2D2 Droid 2 (as listedi n your profile) might also not be in the mix just yet for the Gingerbread update.  There are differences between the Droid 2 and the Droid R2D2 especially in the area on what pre-installed applications are on the phone.  There may be hardware difference as well.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Im 90% sure the hardware is exactly the same... its just the applications and physical appearance that differ.

 

But I would love to know for sure from someone that has any info straight from verizon/motorola.
