I wouldn't respond. That's really fishy, IMO.

My question is, will this OTA be forced on us or can we quietly decline the update? My D2 has been happily rooted for a year now and I want my phone to stay just the way it is. Is there a way to block or decline the OTA?

Updates usually asked to be installed, but this update can be rooted, so I'd accept it.

Cool beans! But will I have to reinstall all the root apps I installed, such at Titanium Backup, Droid Overclock and Wireless Tether, etc? Will it just be a matter of accept the update, re-root and be back like I am now? Or will it be a hassle?

It's a major update, so it may be a hassle.

OK thanks... I'll pass on it. I like my D2 just the way it is and has been.

Nice

Holy crap that was easy. I remember my first root involved all kinds of terminal work, multiple reboots etc.
Thanks.

I wasn't a soak tester, but the OTA was waiting for me when I woke up this morning.

...were you signed up with Motorola at all then? When you say it was waiting for you, you mean you got to download the OTA people are soak-testing???

Correct. I never signed up with Motorola at all. I just woke up yesterday morning and there was a screen that said an update for my phone was available. I updated, thinking it was the standard OTA update.
