Not to be outdone by its Sprint rivals, Motorola just blasted us with the e-mail all you old-school users have been waiting for: Froyo is coming to the original Droid. Next week. Nothing more exact than that. But we're in uncharted waters here, with carriers giving us warning at all, let alone this far out. Can't contain your excitement? Sing out in the forums with all the other Droid-heads! Huzzah!
Update: And Verizon has updated its support site, which must mean this is really real, right?

That's what im talking about bring it on, But Please Don't Forget DROID X!!!
I totally agree...who can forget how frustrating that was...what a joke.
Just like with 2.1 I'll believe it when I see it.
Sweet I glad to see that fragmention of the OS a things of the past.
so HTC has Sense ready on the EVO, the DROID on VZW is getting it next week, sooo, i'm thinking my Incredible might be more incredible by the end of next week as well??
Fingers crossed...
+1
oh cmon now. I'm sitting here watching EVERY android phone get promised updates to froyo in the next week or so except for my dInc. Its Friday, give us dInc'rs some good news!
Pretty sweet news, assuming. But I'm sure its ready. A final update, Droid 2 just around the corner. Make sense.
For all those complainers too...LOL
T-Mobile's turn now....
x time
Yay! Flash 10.1, that's all I care about, cause then I can watch all my favorite Channel Awesome websites.
Yes it is. Noted several spots in the Enhancements list.
And we can all enjoy it in the Fall when it comes out. It's not a part of Froyo.

Checked out the pdf on VZ's support page....is that 5 screens I see?
which pdfs? I can't find it... :o)
Woohoo! Froyo on my Moto, yo!
Ill beleive it when i see it. And if it does, i hope its not some cheap ass version of froyo. the way we got a cheap ass version of 2.1
Wasn't Moto's original press release that Droid and X would get their repective updates at the same time??? Hope they stick to it. I hope this isn't 2.1 again. Get on the stick Motorola show ALL Droids some 2.2 love this next week!!!!!!!
If the Evo is already being updated as early as next week, what is holding HTC back on updating the Droid Incredible? Verizon already cleared Motorola to release their update on Verizon's network so HTC should be good to go!
The EVO updates started today!!! Froyo is offically on the EVO as of 7/30/10....
Another great day for ALL Android owners.. Let's keep it rolling with the great news, cut out the shit from the Evo thread last night!
And i hope that FLASH will be with the launch of froyo. After all, they did say it will launch with 2.2
Man the devour is never gonna get any love. 1.6 still =(
Do u really tell people that u bought a devour? Lol
He fell for the "Megan Fox in a bathtub" ad.
I remember an ad with Megan Fox in a bathtub...there was a phone?
So happy, ready for some yummy treat
First of all throw your devour in the nearest garbage. Dinc next for update. Yes sir
sweet
Please be accurate! I have a bet going with a friend on who would get FroYo first: Me with my Droid, or him with his MyTouch Slide.
What day next week?
FRG10B has been floating around for a bit now but that can't be the official version cause there are too many bugs in it. Lets Waite and see what happens.
It is official I got an email from VZW support about 2.2 and they posted it on Facebook as well. Verizon is saying the roll out will start August 2nd.
same thing as the last time with 2.1. and we all know what happened
Anyone else notice that the Droid in the shot above is still running 2.0?
I did notice. personally I don't believe 2.2 will hit next wk
possibly because that pic is a promotional shot from last december when no phones had 2.1? just sayin...
Gud news.

Looks like Monday.
The message I got from Motorola Forums
I'm happy to report that Verizon Wireless will start pushing Android 2.2 (Froyo) to the original Droid by Motorola during the week of August 2.
Although I can't confirm it yet, I would not be surprised if there were a push to some small number of users as a pre-launch test as early as tonight...
what abt milestone ? when its getting 2.2 update ?
does anybody know or have heard of anything about FLASH support? They did say that flash would come with FROYO
yeah, what about the milestone?? i have MotoFrenzy (Froyo 2.2 for milestone)running on my milestone right now but i would like something more official!
Believe it when it happens.
Least we forget the 2.1 incident.
i would like to see a link were we can download the offical update because you and I know what's going to happen next week: "why didn't my number get the OTA first; why did my friend get it before me; which state will get the update, etc, etc."it's going to be ugly for the next couple of weeks while the OTA is happening. MOTO and VZW should post it on their forums and let the mayhem begin. That way all those comfortable updating their handsets can go ahead and get going now and enjoy the new enhancements i.e FLASH :) and the others can wait for the OTA.
Flash support with 2.2????
Interested in finding out if this will make much difference...
+1 for diskman8004 ... A manual download link would be hella awesome!
i guess no one cares about flash support anymore
How about the MileStone ?
as Motorola is the one releasing the update to the original Droid
as the latest info about the X getting the 2.2 later this summer , there is a chart about 2.2 Froyo & in the last line they are saying :
"MileStone (Europe) : Upgrade to Android 2.1 for select Countries\Carriers rolling in ????????"
& here is a link for it
http://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/articleimag...
The thing is my MileStone already came outta the box with 2.1 Eclair
Not merely an official update, but a *required/mandatory* update. Has VZW ever done that before with any Android phone?
Where is froyo 2.2 upgrade?
Waiting! For froyo.... :(
anyone with 2.2 yet????
Anyone?
Still no froyo!!! Where and when????????
I talked to VZ today and what they told me was they were rolling out 10K users at a time. For Bandwidth reasons.
Moto Droid. I've been patient, but still no update... what's going on?
I got my 2.2 on my Moto Droid some time late last month (August 2010) but still no flash yet.
Alright, I got my Froyo update on my original Droid last week. This morning I had another update on my screen. I installed the update and didn't notice any change....UNTIL I CHECKED FOR FLASH IN THE MARKET!!! Yup, it's totally there folks. My only complaint with 2.2 is that I have no option to WiFi tether. Hmmm....
