And the Droid 2 info just keeps coming…hey isn’t that a picture of the same D2 dummy phone we had?

The latest show training sessions being set up for VZW employees, but still no release date mentioned.  Are they fighting over unlocking the bootloader and going stock Android 2.2?  Are they struggling to make enough?  There are obviously some last minute issues needing to be worked out or these documents floating around company systems would probably include some kind of date.  Does it have to do with the R2-D2 model?  What?  Tell us BR (Big Red)!

A few additional details on the training including Android 2.2 talk…

Thoughts on the secret release date?  Any good conspiracy theories will be “liked”.  (Hello incentive.)

Verizon has said that the Android 2.2 for the Droid will start to roll out on Tuesday, August 3rd and Motorola basically confirmed that with a timeline update.  Yes, that same dreaded timeline.  While we knew about this info after receiving an email from Moto’s forums manager, we now see that the Droid X has been added to the list with some not-so-specific info.

“Late summer” is the word we’ve been hearing all along and it appears as if Verizon and Motorola are going to be as tight lipped about this one as they’ve been with the D1′s update.  Can’t say we blame them.

According to the latest leaked Verizon document, the Droid Android 2.2 update should start hitting devices on August 3rd.  There is a small chance that test updates could start tonight, but the mass rollout appears to be coming this Tuesday…

If you were signed up through Motorola’s forums to receive notification of the Android 2.2 rollout for the Droid, then you probably just received the email above.  What’s amazing about this?  It mentions that a few test updates will start rolling out to users as early as tonight.

Awesome.

There is your official details list for FRG01B Froyo OTA update which will land on the Motorola Droid next week.  Welcome to Froyo non-roots!  (Kidding, kidding.)

Highlights of the list?

• Flash 10.1
• Bluetooth voice dialing

• 270 degree rotation
• Greater Exchange support

Nice way to cruise into the weekend right?

The Verizon Droid Support page has been updated to show the official Froyo build which will hit our devices next week some time.  FRG01B is what we can expect.  A 45.2MB download that will bring the Droid 1 ahead of the newest family member, the Droid X.

FRG01B look familiar?  That’s because the last build to leak was FRG01, so they must have tightened up a couple of additional bugs before pressing go.

Official details posted here.

Engadget has been informed by Verizon that we can all expect to see Android 2.2 on our Droid 1 devices at “some point” next week.  The original rumor that all 3 Droid devices would be receiving Froyo next Friday is starting to look more and more promising by the day.
