It's *#*#2432546#*#* and it checks for all updates, as stated. I just tried it and it works, it found three updates in my market.

I'm sure that's an oxymoron

I caught on to the prick part. Not so much the friendliness of it, though...

That's correct. As soon as I get the update.zip and put it on my servers, I'll post my guide on how to install it.

If you get the update.zip that VZW is sending out right now and apply the update manually, you will not receive an Over The Air update from them as you will have already updated to the latest software.

I don't think it has hit anyone's phone yet.
Hate to be a downer but... What if these "lucky" 1000 droid users that receive the update now, are not even droid users, just verizon employees across the country putting 2.1 on their display models???!?!?! and the additional 9,000 tonight/tomorrow are just the other "lucky" stores to get them?
That would suck

Or noobs that don't know what it is to fanboys like us.
"Oh.. What is this? Guess I'll just install it. La De Da!"
