I may end up trying that after 8/13 passes and after I call. Unfortunately, I am leaving for a mini-vacation tomorrow and my parents are in Sturgis for a motorcycle meet, so I can't afford to be with a glitchy phone. Thank you

You're quite welcome. Enjoy the vacation.

I woke up this morning to an OTA update notice. I haven't done anything with it yet because I want to save a copy before updating but have to get ready for work so I can't finish my search on that right now. Will report back later today after I've got a copy saved off.
I am currently running the vanilla FRG22 and not sure I want to update but probably will just to check it out.
FYI - it looks like OTA updates for our beloved droids have resumed. I base this upon rgartin's post above and this update at boygeniusreport.com.

Thanks for trying to save a copy. Someone will VERY MUCH want to look at it to compare it to the one kicking around from JG and Pete.

For what it's worth, this is an email reply from verizonwireless about the 2.2 update:
Dear Verizon Wireless Customer,
Thank you for contacting our Verizon Wireless website. We are happy to assist you with your question.

Nope. Nobody. Never happening, never will.
The updates resumed a couple days ago after being pulled a couple days after they started rolling out due to some issues. The news story on the front page confirms there will be an update for the update as soon as the update that's being used to update the Droid 1 is done updating. (Yes, that was annoying, but I couldn't resist.

The update for the Droid X has been pushed back to September. I'm totally out of the loop for the Incredible.
Have you read ANY other threads on here today? At all? Because I am honestly trying to figure out how you saw absolutely nothing about any of the rollouts.

I have covered the Incredible in another thread. Everything is looking like a go for the OTA's to begin rollout tonight (Friday night) and continue from there. Another strong possibility is that the Incredible will actually have the Flashp integration already completed as well as many other fixes for the Incredible itself, possibly including the battery charging issues to allow longer battery life.

Thanks! Now if anyone asks in another thread I can tell them something other than "Early builds has performance ratings similar to that of a ballerina doing Swan Lake after going to an all-you-can-eat buffet, but it should be soon".
Very nice wording. :rofl3:
In all honesty, I would about stake my reputation that this will start rolling tonight.
