I've been looking for reports stating that the 2.2 update would be suspended, but I haven't been able to find any. Given that the Droid 2 is supposed to drop next Tuesday, I would suspect that it won't be long.....unless they want the Droid 2 to have it first??
Its none of that the droid is still getting an OTA no one has stated it were halted just rumors. If verizon wanted the Droid 2 to get it first then they wouldn't have announced an OTA update till the week after they wouldn't suspend an update for a device. Everyone have patience not everyone gets it the first day or the first week if the update goes until the 13th then I would expect a majority of users to get it next week.

Actually, this news made me run out and GRAB the manual update while I could, in case Google takes it down. I didn't want to wait till who knows when for 2.2, and I figured I'd just take my chances on any "issues."
So glad I did--I love it. I have not personally had any issues and I love all the improvements. I feel like I got a brand new phone and it rocks.

This happened to me a month or so ago. Battery pull didn't help. The only info I could find online indicated that a factory reset was the best course. I was nervous about that, since I haven't backed up anything, but I got desperate and did it. Stopped the boot loop and frankly my phone has worked tons better ever since. I'd done a lot of tinkering and downloading apps, and I guess I just junked up the works or something. We were also having a massive electical storm when the bootloop thing was going on, so my kids suggested maybe that was somehow related. In any event, the factory wipe was great.
Batt issues may have been found!

Thanks, but the boot loop finally stopped after about 45 minutes. So no wipe necessary thankfully. It was weird, the sync symbol was in my notifications bar and my phone would boot up, go to my normal home screen, draw all the apps, then after 30 seconds or so the screen would shut off and reboot. Most of the time it skipped the 'M' logo and went straight to the Droid logo and then the Eye. Glad that it's working now but I don't get why this happened. I was sure it was for FroYo after seeing that Sync Symbol and considering I haven't really had any problems with it and it is stock. It is very disappointing to go through all that and then still see I am up to date with 2.1 (and I quit getting my hopes up for 2.2 so that I wouldn't be disappointed like this!) Whatever, it'll come when it does. LauncherPro holds me over for now

That would make sense. For me at least. I don't use the Facebook app and have not had any battery drain/heating problems.
Did I mention that I love the fact that they have finally fixed my #1 pet peeve? The slider on the lock screen now puts you in vibrate mode rather than silent. No more need for Silent Mode Jammer. Whoohoo!
IIRC, they just said that it wouldn't do wi-fi tethering - despite the billions of folks that do it (ad-hoc).
Oh, the irony. They finally release a FB update but screw it up so it eats battery. After reading this link I rolled back to FB 1.2 even though I do not yet have Android 2.2.
