Today’s Froyo update for HTC Incredible might be rumor

Friday we told you that Froyo would be coming to the HTC Incredible today. Unfortunately, many are starting to question whether this is true, or if the source of this rumor was just blowing smoke up our… Androids. So if anyone out there has the Incredible, let us know what’s happening in the comments.

    I haven’t gotten it on my Incredible. Pretty much everyone I know on Twitter/ Facebook that has one says it hasn’t come to their phone yet either.

    I couldn’t wait any more, so I got the SkyRaider 2.5.2 ROM (Froyo 2.2), but I checked the system updates and it doesn’t show anything yet. (12:52 PM EST)

    Welcome to Internet Journalism!! Their moto: “If It’s On There, Then It Must Be True!”

    Still haven’t got it on my Incredible, just hoping. Haven’t heard of anyone getting it yet.

    Nope still no froyo, I”m sick of waiting for verizon, I’ll get it my own way.

  • Timewalker93

    I have not gotten an update either. Anxiously awaiting some of the new features; wish they would hurry up already!

  • JoAnn

    Duh.

    I think we all said that when the article first came out.

    Nothing to see here.

  • Jason

    Nothing here. If I don’t have it by the weekend I’ll likely go get it myself.

  • Geoff

    Go figure… just more false hope for us Incredible folks. I am about to just get it myself and say to heck with waitning for VZW.

  • Ian

    Yup, waiting (im)patiently for Froyo on my Dinc. Have a friend with a Moto Droid who’s still waiting for her Froyo. That push was supposed to be completed by today.

    The August 18th date was just a rumor, and has been stated as being such all over the Internet. When it does happen, it’ll be something phased in over a period of days or even weeks, not something where every phone in the world will get the update at the same time, or even over a 24 hour period. My personal opinion: When it comes, it comes. My Droid Incredible is running just fine on 2.1-1 and I’ve been enjoying it since I first got it. I’m sure 2.2 will enhance the experience; but it’s not like I can’t use the phone or go on with living if I don’t have it. ;-)

    There is no money in it for them to send it out.So “no hurry” or maybe it will never happen.

    I called Verizon today (August 18, 2010) and they had no indication when the release date would be for Froyo regarding the Droid Incredible. Needless to say, it was not today. Today’s release was for a Motorola Droid instead. They did indicate that when it comes out, it would be an over the air update and that they are planning on releasing it to 400,000 phones at a time. The whole process will take several weeks to complete. You need to check the details before publishing a story to the public.

    …and waiting….waiting….waiting…this sucks I’m going to go get a snow cone….

    I just want to know who your source is. I sure hope the motivation of the original article wasn’t merely an assumption without any research–just ’cause a modified splash screen. Or worse yet, to get more hits. I guess I’ll give the benefit of the doubt; all I want is a little contact info. I’ll be nice, I promise. ;)

    No Froyo here. :(

    @dickdog- while there is no money directly for pushing it out, there is indirectly (future sales). If verizon got a reputation for never updating their phones, less people would go through them in the future. Its in their best interests to update their phones.
