+1 people need to relax and just wait. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO GET THE OTA 2.2 ANY QUICKER..... on that note. lets all drink and be marry.

Step 1: install the leaked radio update.
step 2, root phone with unrevoked
step 3, install one of the many 2.2 roms

follow those three steps, and have you have froyo now.

So what happens when a service provider (i.e. Verizon) feverishly releases multiple Android-powered devices without the resources or competence to properly support them?

How can an organization of their size and depth not conduct the due diligence to realize that marketing, selling, and supporting Android devices is not the same as selling new BlackBerry 8330s?

If we, as Android owners, were content with the shit OS that RIM offers, we would all be punching away on archaic devices with no HTML support.

Instead, we're punching away on state-of-the-art devices with no vendor support. I am not sure which is worse.

I predict a brewing storm for Verizon and, for that matter, Sprint and others who lackadaisically and sluggishly provide software and hardware support for these devices. Many Android devices are running 1GHz processors because we end users are not inherently patient and we like snappiness. Too bad the snappiness only exists in our phones.

Actually Verizon is way ahead of the game. For the last year or so they have been upgrading their towers to take on more data load. Matter of fact their really pushing it for rural areas especially. They want the towers to take more, more, and more load.
When Verizon introduced the Droid my husband went "AHHH, that explains why Verizon want's all the towers to be upgraded!" So I think Verizon was ahead of the game when they let the first Droid on the market.

The OP has absolutely nothing to do with data coverage. Nice try though...may want to brush off your reading comprehension skills prior to posting.

Before you make fun of others comprehension skills, please note that you should use the internet longer than 5 days...

OP means original poster, way to go bucko!
