From what I've seen in this forum, the D1 won't be able to run the update after this (Gingerbread). By the time that rolls out, I may be on to the Droid Pro (assuming everything I know remains true).

That sounds like a VZW Rep to me on the other end of that e-mail of yours.
They have about as much information as anyone else does -- none -- and they're quite happy to spread it around. A VZW Rep is low-man on the totem pole when it comes to information.
You just have to wait or push the released update manually.
Take this with a grain of salt. Yesterday I spoke with a Verizon Rep who stated, "I've heard froyo may be pushed back to September."
To me makes sense. Why would you release 2.2 on the D1 right before the release of D2 with 2.2. Pure marketing, why take away one of the bigger selling points for the D2.

Google denied it was out of the question. Doesn't mean you're not right, of course.
That maybe true, but we were promised froyo last week and the vast majority still has not received it because they are still working out kinks after all this time. I for one will not hold my breath for gingerbread on droid one. My contract is up anyway I'm just waiting for next year when LTE arrives and i can get a 4g phone. In the mean time if it does happen cool if not just the same.

I hear that on the cool factor. Google is in no way responsible for our OTA, though, so while non-rooters may not get Gingerbread, by the time it rolls around the warranty will be up on just about everyone's phone anyway. And with the SBF files kicking around, nobody needs to know...
Either it'll get shoehorned in by the ROM developers or enough features will be to keep people happy till they give in and get whatever locked-down offering Verizon is tempting us with.
Dual-core Tegra sounds pretty tasty to me, Gingerbread or Honeybun (my nomination for the next version's code name) flavor. Doesn't matter to me.

Cupcake, Donut (can't they spell? It's Doughnut!), Eclair, FroYo, Gingerbread.

Congrats! Is there any way for you to pull the file you got and send it to someone to compare to the one on the http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...ircus-continues-frg01b-official-get-here.html thread?

I wish I could. I would have had to have done it prior to mu upgrade. Frankly I didn't even think about it. I was just so excited that I just accepted the update.

You don't know how happy this just made me, lol.
You just confirmed that they're still rolling out updates. Huzzah!

I actually had called VZW earlier and they had told me that the update had been delayed till the 18th. That just goes to show you how little the tech reps really know.
