What's the deal with all these blog articles saying the Froyo update is available for Streaks locked to AT&T? Has anyone even seen the "update is available" message on their AT&T Streak? Because I've been checking approximately every hour (lol). I'm not talking about that article on the 1st that was debunked on StreakSmart, just google Dell Streak 2.2 AT&T and you'll get way more recent results, as recent as yesterday afternoon.

I read a thing on Engadget awhile back about "T-Mobile invites us to 'come experience the HTC HD2' on March 16"
I thought there was supposed to be some big HD2 reveal today? Where is it?
hrmmmmmmm?
-Ash-
It's happening in New York tonight, so we'll know in the next few hours.
Seems like it's nothing new.
it was just them officially saying pricing and that it will be out the 24th i guess
Its Official $199w/contract and $450w/out contract

Hopefully the UK release means we here in the US aren't far behind.
It's dumb they're doing it through Kies, hopefully US will get OTA
Someone posted on.. I think it was Android Central that ( "I heard from this guy..") a T-Mo rep at store had showed him an email regarding "a huge update" that was coming to the Vibrant on the 15th. It's one of those things again, but hopefully it's true.
Well I happened to be in a TMO store today (got my son the LG Optimus T) and not one of the reps there had any freaking clue and all three of them had Vibrants in their pockets. So if the TMO reps who actually use the phone and want updates themselves are saying they have no info, then this is the one time I actually believe them.

The reps do not know anything at all. I remember about 3 weeks ago, I asked one at the mall (offical kiosk, not a reseller) if he knew t-mobile was going to come out with a cheap data plan like AT&T and he said he had no idea. Well, t-mobile has come out with a tiered data plan and just reinforces the fact that t-mobile reps know absolutely NOTHING. Their guess is as good as yours and mine.

As much as i dont want too I can wait for 2.2. when it comes it comes.
Came across the article below. Keep in mind that this article applies to T-Mobile UK's Galaxy S. I thought I would post it here because it is showing the difficulty T-Mobile is having customizing Froyo for their phone. They promised the update by December 1st, and now they're talking about it coming out as late as December 11th. And, they apparently didn't mention anything prior to December 1st, and only released the statement after press inquiries.
In light of this, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Vibrant's Froyo update gets delayed as well.
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...logises-for-galaxy-s-android-2-2-delay-913079
T-Mobile has responded to TechRadar's request for more information on the Samsung Galaxy S Android 2.2 deployment delay, apologising for the whole episode.
The network originally promised the update would land by 1 December at the latest, but failed to meet that deadline, later confirming it would happen next week.
TechRadar asked T-Mobile for a reason behind this delay, and received the following:
"T-Mobile apologises for any inconvenience caused by the delay in 2.2 Froyo update for the Samsung Galaxy S.
"It is our priority to ensure that the update will provide our customers with the best possible experience and we are working hard to make this happen as soon as possible."
Lifting the lid
T-Mobile couldn't comment on a reason for the delay, but reading between the pretty wide lines it's clear the Galaxy S upgrade failed some part of the testing process at the last moment.
The problem here wasn't that the upgrade has taken so long to deploy (although it has irked customers) but a missed self-imposed deadline meant that users were constantly checking for something that never arrived.
We hope the Android 2.2 update lands by next Friday from T-Mobile, which we're assured it will, and we don't have to talk about this until Android 2.3 Gingerbread lands...
I just got this from another forum:
"just got off the phone with Verizon... all 3g versions will get the 3.1 update by midnight EST Friday."
Like the title says: just a rumor. I know nothing else. But it sets my mind at ease to know that I won't have to wait weeks. I'll stop doing the hourly update thing and just let it happen (OK, I might do it again, but not as often...). Can't wait to have resizable widgets and mouse support!
Google are doing a few things right in following apples lead when it comes to announcing updates and releasing updates on the same day, but as someone who lined up on launch day for my Xoom, and who still hasn't got an update it is still terribly frustrating...
Yes their are options for people who just cannot wait, and I understand that OTA updarea have to be managed to for load/ capacity reasons but I almost think the best solution is an either or solution. OTA update or for those that can't wait then an official tethered update....
I wanted to be able to go to work today with an updated Zoom, and stick the update in the apple fan boys eye

oh, man. i thought i am obsessed with my xoom
Do anyone know about the European 3G update?
I guess "3G" for Verizon is not WCDMA, its EVDO.
As someone who also purchase their xoom on launch day and has yet to receive the update, I am equally as frustrated. The load/capacity argument however seems weak with the small number of xooms sold to date. If they can't support that number...
Sent from my Xoom
frustrated here also. Got mine 9am the first day they had them available. No update yet for me this morning. Tried setting date ahead, it did check but nothing new.
Just curious, has anyone with a deactivated 3G Xoom actually received the OTA?
Some postings across several forums refer to the fact they only got the OTA after they activated their service with Verizon.
It seems suspect to me that that would be the case since any deactivated device I had with Verizon still received updates through WiFi (my OG droid and the last update (3.0.1) for the Xoom as examples).

I haven't received one yet. But if I do I'll post on here. Because I bought mines from a local shop brand new and never activated any 3G.
I order my unactivated AT&T 8GB model and its been delayed twice already, and no one at dell is helpful, they just try to get me off the phone and don't have any actual reason besides saying its delayed, and then in one spot it says "in production" and in another spot it says "in pre production" I ordered it on 8/28 with next day delivery?! and now its saying shipping date for the phone is 9/21 when you try to make a new order, so I'm wondering how I could even have mine before that even though it says delivery date: 9/13 (updated) from the 9/4 it was originally.
I also kept asking them if maybe the delay was from a mango software update but the non English speaking reps didn't even know what that was and had no idea. Do we have any solid evidence that maybe this is the case and this is why its taking so long?
Welcome to perils of purchasing a DVP. Guess Dell hasn't improved much since its launch.

I had mine delayed for a month right before the new firmware came out...

Indeed. Same thing when I bought my DVP too - delayed twice with no explanation. Although everyone was quite polite, trying to get progress information out of Dell was like trying to get blood out of a stone
Took over a month to arrive...
Part of the problem is that no one wants to help, they swear it will be shipped on a certain date and it isnt, and I have not spoke with one AMERAICAN person on the phone and its annoying, I tell them to speak clearly but they do not, seriously dell has the worst tech support or phone reps ever. Half of them only know how to do 1 thing and 1 thing only, I bet half of them at "Dell Mobility" support havent even seen the phone and dont even know what OS it runs unless its somehow in the order.
I got mine next day I was actually surprised.
That's weird. I ordered mine on Sunday, and it's being delivered tomorrow. Mine is T-Mobile, though. I dunno if that matters.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
it does say tmobile verisons are shipping sooner but I dont see why any version should be delayed this long. I feel naked with only 1 phone right now :/
It is my understanding that phones may see delayed ship dates due to Mango being installed on them. I believe that Dell may be one of the first to supply Mango to existing hardware.
thats what I heard and thought but everytime I ask a dell rep either via an online chat or over the phone they have no idea what that means
I have 5 ATT ones that keep getting pushed back. They were ordered one at a time over a month.. but it looks like they are all coming on the 29th now.. hopefully.
Got a few t-mobile ones in that timeframe and they came in pretty fast.
oddly all the ATT phones showed up today. So much for dell holding them to put Mango on
hmmm... well mine still hasn't shipped, even a rep on twitter said she was gonna try to expedite it, but no change in order status, one place it says in production and the other says in pre production. But also the weird thing is, one their website all they have are unlocked versions now with att or tmobile bands. The Tmobile specific or ATT specific versions no longer exsist so I wonder whats gonna happen to mine that was att specific just unactivated full retail.
It's my understanding that the reason for the delay is due to DVP being shipped with Mango installed and since MS hasn't officially released Mango update yet, they are waiting so that it would coincide with the release date. Then again, it may all be just speculations.
Ya well no one seems to know 100% and now my order has yet again been delayed to the 16th, this is the 4th delay. Dell support is garbage I want everyone to know and avoid them don't give them any more business!
I ordered a replacement under warranty on the 2nd and they told they were backordred to the 16th and to call back then to have it actually shipped out. I'm thinking they are basically holding everything back for Mango, at least on the AT&T side.
That makes sense. Means you'll get the Mango firmware without having to wait for AT&T's notoriously-slow 'testing' process.
Wondering if Dell are not explaining the delays because they have a non-disclosure agreement with Microsoft about the Mango release date. Otherwise, you would think they would publicly announce that phones were being held back to a specific date for Mango.
well more and more things keep saying that mango will be this week but I'm so frustrated that my phones been delayed for pretty much weeks now, I don't want to keep waiting, I know its a good update but I can do it myself.
I'm not sure how relevant my experience is to this topic, but I did place an order today for a subsidized DVP through Dell moblity's phone line. I got a English as his first language rep who seemed pretty knowledgeable. First I wanted to know if the DVP was still being subsidized through AT&T since it was no longer showing online, he confirmed that it was still $0.99 with contract for AT&T and T-mobile. I then asked if there would be any delay on the shipping (siting that I read some folks online were having an issue). He explained that there was a firmware update(not mango) that both carriers needed to approve and AT&T took longer to approve it than t-mobile.
Needless to say, my order has been placed as of 1PM eastern 9/12 and the estimated arrival time is 9/15, hopefully just in time for Mango *fingerscrossed*.
I just tried to place an order for an 8 GB model and the rep advised me due to backorders, it wouldn't ship for approx. 10 days. I chose to back out since I have an order for a 32 GB that keeps getting delayed (but I'd rather wait for) that is currently slated to ship around the same time as this one would have been delayed.
