There will be no 2013. The Mayans ran out of supplies for making their calendar and figured "Meh, it'll be centuries or millennia until then." Thanks to their shortsightedness, we are all doomed! CURSE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

Stupid mayans. They couldn't have made the world last a few more years so we can get honeycomb?!
 
The update is technically outside of Cricket and Metro's hands Huawei is doing it. (Which is why they upgrade before the Kyocera droid, cause it's the brand not the carrier doing the upgrade) As for self-righting this, there is no way...technically. The Ascend has this cute little "**** you I quit" reset feature. Which is, when the power is off, press and hold, [Power ] [End], [Volume up], keys. Factory hard reset, you have to call metro to reactivate the phone or take it to cricket/Metro and pay a little for them to do it. but you save your phone. Rooted or not you'll get it back brand spanking new and have to redownload all of your aps and whatnot.

More on that here.

Joser, your post is simply not accurate! To set the record straight, Cricket DOES have a facebook page and this is what they have posted in answer to a question about the Ascend 2.2 upgrade:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cricket Facebook Page



Cricket Wireless Hi Greg - We currently have a 2.2 update for Zio coming soon. Updates to devices such as Ascend from Huawei are at the discretion of the device manufacturer where one will be available and not the carrier. We'll keep you posted on any further developments.

~~~~~~~~~~~

This was posted 4 hours ago from the time and date of this post. So Ascend users...don't ditch your phones just yet.

:)

Hello everyone,
Great news, I just went to the Metro PCS store where I both my Ascend and the owner of the store locate here in Dallas, TX conformed that yesterday a conference call was hold for all stores owners and managers given the updates for this first quarter of the year and Froyo will be launch for the Ascend/Metro costumers February 21. He showed me the email from Metro indicating the news were Metro users will be getting the upgrade information via their goggle account. He also made a comment that all Ascends for sale after that Monday will be available with Froyo 2.2!!!!!!!!

This is great news and what everyone has been expecting as we have always been told an upgrade for the Ascend was forthcoming.

I have a call in to Ning Chang with Huawei and am waiting to hear back from him now.

:)
 
Like I said in the other thread, I want to see an optimized 2.2 ROM, so my wait begins the day 2.2 releases.
