Win for those Nexus One owners (who haven't rooted). Android FTW!

not so fast, users with rooted phones have enjoyed the Froyo for a while and with extras that are available only on rooted devices.
I agree though, Android FTW!

I don't know about everyone else but after seeing all these photos of the real Froyo desert I really want to make/try one. Is it just frozen yogurt on a granola/berry mix? Looks good.. mmmm.

So is this 2.2 coming to any other phones/companies? I'm stuck with T-Mobile on a Motorola CLIQ-XT with 1.5

Are the people with a rooted nexus one able to download this?

I am a Nexus One user with AT&T, and apparently this message doesn't apply to AT&T. I did check in (*#*#checkin#*#*) and I still dont have the update available.

Wonder how long it will take Sprint to release Froyo for the EVO 4G now that its "officially" out.

And I'm still waiting for 2.1 for HTC Magic.

I also use AT&T on my Nexus One. The official OTA update is out, but it may take several days before every user gets it. There is a direct download(link to zip file, rename to update.zip when transferring to your phone) for the update files if you are comfortable performing the upgrade manually. I did the install with no issues.

The disparity of versions of Android are making it tough for us device owners that are unable to update. I understand why (individual devices need drivers, etc.) but what I don't understand is why is android not like a traditional OS in design? Like where you can update the OS and drivers independently using legacy drivers? Leaving updates in the hands of the device manufacturures seems counter productive.
