See... Yet another rep that is feeding **bleep** then. His exact words... " yes it does have 2.2. Some of the new units are coming with 2.2 pre- loaded"

Interesting, very interesting. The way I feel about the froyo update now is.. If it happens it happens. Yeah it sucks that it hasn't happened yet, but it is wasting time and energy stressing over it. The lesson to be learned from this is... buyer beware in the future....

That was circulated around last year on another forums site. It was determined to be a typo.

Apparently this image is newer though. In the bottom right, it looks like it says "Valid 2/27-3/26"

Who knows, maybe they are shipping the new ones to the dentist for a procedure before going to customers who order them!

If you read the small print in the bottom of the tag in the photograph you'll notice the wording, "...depending on carrier..." describing the potential early termination fee. What this means is that this picture is taken in a store that is owned and operated by John Doe Businessguy that is operating a store that sells equipment for multiple carriers. They make their own rules, their own tags, and get their info from their own sources. This unfortunately hurts both the customer and the carrier for which the store owner is selling contracts.
So long story short, this store owner that represents MANY carriers found the latest info on the Galaxy S line of phones, saw that the line in general was up to 2.2 and chose to advertise this generalization rather than confirming with his counterpart at VZW. Every store, no matter who owns it, has a person at each carrier that is solely responsible for all business being done on behalf of that carrier by any non-carrier owned stores stores in that region. It is sad since everybody sees the name on the tag and assumes that the carrier is behind it. Also sad because if the the carrier is allowing this store owner to sell contracts on its behalf, then it is their duty to keep them informed, up to date, and provide appropriate literature on the products offered or pull their contract rights from that store. This same sort of thing happened for the carrier that I used to work for all the time; and on more than one occasion, that carrier did the correct thing and told the non-carrier store owner to go take a hike.
Its a two way street. Store owner's fault for not confirming the info on the Galaxy S line of phones for ALL the carriers that he sells for and the carrier's fault for not keeping his/her area non-VZW stores up to date with correct info.

the reps in my local store are honest, and will not give false info, I asked them if/when my fascinate might get 2.2 (it already had it, though, lol), and they wouldn't mislead me. so, this is not verizon policy to mislead us, it's "rogue agents" as it were doing this.

Well, no. It's not a corporate policy, and every large business has some folks who are less than trustworthy. This doesn't change the fact that Verizon should be held responsible for the information it's reps hand out.
If VZW reps told people Froyo was due in 1-2 weeks, and it didn't come out (and still hasn't 3 months later), one of two things happened:
1) The rep spoke with no actual knowledge of the situation to make the sale or stall the return.
2) Verizon corporate told the rep the update was imminent, when it wasn't.
Either way, Verizon's fault.
