There's no doubt that its been a maddening wait for the update. Not to mention waiting for whatever updates that remedies the low function ringing volume on mine (bought it on the first day).
And I NEVER want to make light of the folks with real problems. This place is here for users to help each other, along with the occasional Verizon person looking in. But it's the temper-tantrum nature of some posts that set some folks off, me included. And frankly, as had been suggested before now, some of us could respond better to that nature of post.
Good luck and (loooong sigh) happy waiting...

CM, relax, if you've read any of my postings, there are several occasions where I've warned folks about the the problems that the Dinc folks are having with the 2.2 update. If you'd relax a bit, you'd see that we are on the same page

Well, it is to geeks. It doesn't have to add auto-pilot or make coffee while warming your car as you dress for work. Geeks just want the latest and greatest. Period. It's in the DNA.
Does your phone work??
Why, yes it does, remarkably well, and thanx for asking!
Can you make and recieve calls, texts, use the browser... etc....
Yes, again, what a caring soul you are!
Let Verizon do their job and make sure the update is going to be bug free...
Again, you've not been paying attention to my postings. Lord help us if the update has the same results as some Dinc owners...
Would (sorry) you rather have an update that screws your phone up because they rushed and cut corners or wait a bit longer than expected to make sure that it is right?
All together now...."read my postings about the folks suffering through the Dinc 2.2 update". Then report back with a 4-page summary on yer findings.
Remember its just a phone.
People say the memory starts slipping after hitting 50 years old (I'm 52). But who says that? YOUNG PEOPLE. And, I wake up every morning, thank the Lord, fully cognizant of the fact that my Dx is indeed a phone.
I cant believe how some people are soooo consumed with the FROYO update....
Again (saying that a lot here, eh?), those pesky geeks! Glad I don't make phones...
if you wanted it sooo badly why didn't you wait to get a Droid 2?
I wanted that big gorgeous screen that has allowed me to enjoy casual (but safe) surfing without dragging out a notebook. Plus it's really KEWL! (yes, I have been hanging around here too long)
Have some patience people!!!!!
Okay. Patience is "gee, my phone is working well and as it is supposed to, but it would be really cool to have the 2.2 update. I guess I shall have to wait until Verizon and Moto agree that the update is indeed safe, ready, willing, and able. Oh, yeah, and not screw up the Dx like it has on a lot of Dincs (Apparently, it hasn't screwed up ALL the Dincs, but a substantial number of them. And various owners have a few suggestions that they have tried on their own phones and seem to be successful).
Impatience would be....well, look around, do I REALLY need to cite examples of impatience??...
==============================================================================================
Okay, CM, it's entirely possible that your post wasn't directed at me specifically and if not, then just get a laugh at my silliness and have a good day.. It's a slow morning and I decided to have some fun with it since it followed my post.
My only fear in all of this, as I have said several times before, is that the people having real problems with their phone will feel as though people like me, who have had no issues whatsoever with their phones (except for that pesky low-volume ringer) are belittling the people with problems. Absolutely not.. Obviously, emotions are going to run high when problems are encountered, and a few people see this forum as a punching bag or a place to vent the high-strung frustrations. It's understandable. But also, that sort of posting serves no one, especially, the original poster. If nothing else, it puts off someone that might otherwise be willing to offer ideas and suggestions that could be helpful to a resolution to their issues.
One reason I wish they would get on with the update is to see if some of the issues reported here are solved. Otherwise, I'm happy to manually check for the update each morning, make a long sigh, and get on with my day, knowing that so far, the Dx has and hopefully will continue to serve me well. And wish the people plagued with problems a quick and successful resolution. Because, as I can attest, a properly working Dx is a really great thing.
Everyone have a great weekend!

Hey wait a minute now..... I am a Geek...... a 50 year old geek too...... but always latest and greatest is not quite in my DNA (Not enough money)..... and the Droid X was the first phone that I bought without putting my hands on it first in the store ( I just knew that if I didn't order it early in the morning on the first day, I would be waiting a long time to get one)
But like Gerio, I check updates in the morning, click OK to the up to date message, then go about my business........
although I must admit.... I also check updates at night too
