Tracking the official VZW HTC Droid Incredible OTA update

Whereas last time proved to be pure BS, this time…the update is for real. Yet, it still seems to be taking VZW what feels like forever to push the over-the-air to Droid Incredibles all across the ol’ U S of A.

So what gives? Well, not much really. The following collection of official VZW Support Tweets paint a very clear (and boring) picture about the Incredible’s FroYo roll-out:

As you can see there’s not much going on here that doesn’t make sense. The real issues comes down to communication and education. Verizon needs to work on its efforts to educate and inform its customers about major updates. It wouldn’t take more than a preemptive text message announcing the roll-out and some general info on how the update will work.

Ah well. Back to waiting…
