Verizon Text Message About Froyo

I recently recieved a text message from Verizon Wireless which stated;

Free VZW Msg. Your Droid Incredible was sent the Android 2.2 software update including Adobe Flash 10.1. Click for more info: http://droiddoes.com/2.2i

From what I can tell I have yet to recieve the update. Under settings/about phone/system updates, it says the system is up to date. However, when I go to settings/about phone/software info the current firmware is version 2.1-update1.

1. Why did I get this message?

2. When should I expect the update?

you can clear the cache on the phone and i believe you'll then be prompted. the only problem, is that i can't for the life of me find where you do that. can anyone help?????

open your browser, go to menu, settings, and clear the cache. this did not work for everyone, but many people reported that shortly after doing this, they got the notification to download the update.

The clearing cache did not work for me and I do it quite often.

I got the same text message. Called VZW customer support and they were no help. I just cleared my cache to see if that helps. Thanks to everyone for your help.

I think the text message the original poster received, "Free VZW Msg. Your Droid Incredible was sent the Android 2.2 software update including Adobe Flash 10.1. Click for more info: http://droiddoes.com/2.2i" was sent to all DINC owner's who had ALREADY received the 2.2 update. If you read the message carefully that's what it says. I don't think it was meant to imply that you would be getting it. I had already received the 2.2 update and I got the same text message. I also received a similar e-mail from VZW. There have been some folks who had received the 2.2 update notification only to postpone the update and then when they went to "menu/About Phone/System updates" it said their phone was already up to date with 2.1 still installed. The update seemed to have vanished. These folks most likely got the text message as well because as far as VZW was concerned the update was pushed to their phone even though they may never actually installed it. This explains why when people called VZW tech support about the message they were clueless; the message was not meant to suggest you will be getting the 2.2 update but rather it was already sent to you. Why VZW felt the need to send that text message as well as the similarly useless e-mail I don't have a clue. I never received a text message from VZW prior to receiving the actual 2.2 update telling me I would be getting it; it just showed up one morning and I was able to postpone the install until I got home from work.
