When will we get 2.2?

I've been trying to figure out what the deal is with Android 2.2 on this phone. I bought this phone last month and have been very happy with it (as it is the only decent android phone that you can get without doing a bunch of extra work in Canada) but, though it looks like Acer has committed to an eventual update, is there a good place to get information about when to expect it?

The phone is pretty much a vanilla install of Android (which is also awesome) so i can't see how an update would be a huge inconvenience for the manufacturer.

Thanks for the thoughts/info
 
hey grizzle, does the stock liquid with 2.1 do wifi hotspotting (ie. use 3g signal and act as a router for you to log in with another device with wifi)?
 
You have to have root access I believe and install an app, or wait until 2.2 comes out for it built in.
 
I hope that rogers does update the liquid e to 2.2 and not screw around like they doing with the magic update to 2.1. magic owners must be pulling their hair out waiting for 2.1!
 
For what its worth:

HOWEVER, Acer said Eclair for 2.1 in March and we did not see it til July.
 
thanks hustlindaily so Q4 is the likely time period. I may have a samsung vibrant galaxy s by then. I am trying to sell my liquid e! Do you have google voice search on your e. I need to find the apk due to the fact that i cant find it in the market!
 
I downloaded it but on my screen popped up download unsuccessful no application can be found to open this file. I have astro file manager but it does not show up! Any tips to remedy this situation?
 
I imagine when Froyo does comes out, it will "un-root" the phone and re-install all of the Rogers bloatware.

I will probably have to wait for the 2.2 community ROM.
 
that apk worked like a charm thanks hustlindaily. i'm gonna keep the link in my gmail due to the fact that i may be getting the galaxy s vibrant unlocked to work on rogers.I have lookout app intsalled to back up my info. I used app back up to restore my apps. Even though i thought i had the voice apk, it did not back it up. Is there any app back up that will 100% restore my apps if i transfer to a new android device.
