Verizon to upgrade all of its DROIDS to Android 2.2 at one time?
Share:
This article contains unofficial information.
As for the date of this simultaneous upgrading, August 23rd has been mentioned as a possible launch date for the DROID 2 which is expected to launch with Froyo under the hood. That could be a good time to introduce the OS on all four of the high-end devices. Another possible date would be August 16th, when Adobe is supposed to have an Android-related press conference. Considering that Android 2.2 is a requirement for Flash 10.1, it would also seem to make sense for the upgrade to be launched at that time. A tipster for AndroidSPIN who claims to work for Verizon has said that the Android 2.2 upgrade would begin Friday, August 6th, and be completed by the 15thb of the month. He claims that Big Red would upgrade the DROID, DROID X and Droid Incredible all at the same time as the DROID 2 would ship with the newer OS.

This would be excellent news if it comes to fruition!

I call BS! A simultaneous upgrade makes no sense logistically and even less sense from a tech support standpoint. And let's not even toss in that it happening on the same day as a new product launch would be a sales nightmare. If there are indeed updates coming soon for all of these phones it definitely won't be an all in one day affair. Speaking of updates, weren't Incredible owners supposed to get 2.2 two weeks ago? I recall you guys posting that....

this comment has a low rating, but i rather agree with it. Tech support wise, ANY and ALL issues that arrise (good or bad) and there will be many questions from the public, will flood the customer service centers. Tech sup[port will be swamped. and if, big if here, but IF there are issues with th update, why freeze four handsets and piss off all those clients at once? phone by phone to ensure that the roll out is smooth makes total sense. UNLESS... all the hardware and software from the phones are literally identical. at which point i would wonder why they roll our four phones with the same shell. just sayin'

Cool, but aren't there mods you can use in the meantime and isn't VERIZON usually slow to release upgrades?? Oh well, it will eventually happen and that is all that is matters.

uhh. Jrcrow.. NONE of the current devices are compatable with LTE. LOL.. its a totally different signal. You need an LTE phone to use LTE. Hurrying up LTE doesnt mean there will be an LTE phone any faster.. oi..

I wonder if you re 10 yrs old since you seem to enjoy writing stuff that's incoherent, negative, or just plain stupid. i honestly think you probably get some enjoyment out getting your comments erased. Pretty sad kid. Go outside of your room and try to have a normal life boy. Go volunteer your time and feed the homeless or help at your local SPCA. I promiss you will get more enjoyment out of that and actually build some self steem in the process.

While I agree that Joey makes no real points and sounds like he is ten you should never have errors in a post that slams someones spelling. Unless you think there is such a thing as self steem.

joey read this if you can do that ;) **Who cares LTE in the future makes me excited to upgrade my blackberry storm. I have had 4 replacements and it's still the same shitty phone.** your welcome for the grammar lesson now what you should be in such a rush for is hurrying up and going back to school from your obviously too long summer break. cause you type like you have had brain cancer.

I think this is bull crap. Idek why I expected the update to come out when it was originally suppose to come out cause they pulled the same crap with the 2.1 update smh

I would like to know what happened to the OTA update we were supposed to get for the Incredible a couple weeks ago that provided the 720p recording capability. Hopefully it's at least provided with 2.2...
