Update Your Droid Incredible to Android 2.2 (Froyo)

I was starting to wonder if the HTC Droid Incredible would ever make the 2.2 update this year. Looks like Christmas came a bit early for those willing to do a little manual updating. don't worry, this patch is legit and comes straight from Google's own servers.

Here's the instructions from Phandroid.com.

A couple of things to note:

-You *may* need to make sure your build numbers match the expected build for the update (prepping for the update).

-You have to be patient. I know. That's the last thing you want with an early update, but it's true. I found myself waiting at several screens for more than 5 minutes while it did its thing. Just be ready for that. Don't reboot during any part of the update.

HTC Droid Incredible: Shipped

My new phone is on its way! Looks like it might actually be here a day earlier than they predicted too. I guess it depends on the instructions given to FedEx by Verizon. Also looks like its coming from Ontario, Canada which I found a bit odd. At any rate, I'll be rockin' my new phone by the end of the week! Since I'll be in certification classes all this week, it might become a big distraction, if I'm not careful. :)

Step One: Purchase Android Device

I broke down and decided to jump in on the Android action today. I purchased my first Android device, the HTC Incredible. I preordered it on Verizon Wireless for $200 + taxes and will get the unit on April 29th, 2010. While excited, I have to admit the monthly charges of $30 + $6 insurance almost scared me away. Hopefully I can get at least that much value out of the device on a monthly basis. I'm sure I'll get by somehow.

Here's a great, full review of the device at Genius Boy.
