Question by : Is the new Android (2.2) “Froyo” release going to automatically update your Droid Incredible?
I want to buy a droid Incredible tonight, but I have a noob developer question: verizon is talking about the cool new features of the 2.2 Android OS release, but is this only on new phones? Or is this a download/automatic update that I will eventually be able to have on an Incredible I buy tonight?

Basically, do I have to wait for the Android 2.2 release to then buy a phone with Android 2.2 capabilities?

No, just buy the phone.

When the Froyo version for your phone is released, you’ll get a notification. I have heard that some phones on certain carriers require a download to a computer and a USB connection to update (I think this is on Sprint). Otherwise, you’ll get a notification and the update is received OTA and upgraded directly.

Whatever you do, don’t root the phone if you want the updates from Verizon, because rooting and modding usually kills any carrier OTA updates.

However, if you are going to root and mod, the 2.2-based ROMs are usually out before the OTA updates begin. So, you won’t lose anything. I have a Nexus One that I’ve rooted and modded with Cyanogen’s ROM. When those guys release a 2.2 ROM, I’ll update then.

But if you leave the phone stock, you’ll get the update pushed to you when it’s ready. Be patient; the 2.2 Development Kit was only released the other day, so it might be a little while before you see Froyo.

I Have Seen videos on youtube about this os and i love it i cant wait till this gets released i hear rumors of jan 11th, jan 22 or spring any solid info out there?

Other than the official announcement that it will be getting 2.1 at some time, there is nothing official from Verizon. Verizon will not release any firm dates on any updated unless they are 100% certain that they can deliver said update by that particular date… If they were to say Jan 11th, and something happened, say a bug is found, so that they can’t release on that date, you would have users across the nation screaming bloody murder… Because of this, most companies won’t give a date, period… They just start releasing the update without notice.

A word of caution to you. If you have rooted your Droid, or if you might possibly want to do so in the future, do NOT apply the updated from Verizon. They will almost certainly have fixed the bug in the old release that allowed users to gain root access, and the phone will be un-rootable if the update is applied. Developers may or may not find another exploit that allows root access.

If your phone is rooted, wait for one of the after-market ROM’s to be released with a pre-patched version of Android 2.1 that is based off of the ROM that Verizon officially releases. This "Patch and release" by the development community will assure that your phone retains root access.
