They have made "significant progress over the last couple of weeks"??? Wasn't froyo more or less ready at io? What are they progressing on? This is worthy of a deep analysis I hope that when its all said and done there is some sort of clearl timeline starting at io, I just have to know what happened that set them back so much that "significant progress" is insufficient. I wonder whats so important that it has to remain so mysterious? Obvioisly something big happened right after io. Mystery, conspiracy, intrigue, anticipation....This is utterly fascinating.
passion-ate a Google Employee said:@mr_christian: I was referring to Google as "us". I just want people to understand that we are not intentionally holding back the release. We work very hard on the platform for our customers to enjoy (including tasty names!), and would rather release it than not. That said, we will not release it until we are happy with it.
I am not at liberty to share details of what is being worked on, but at a high level we weren't happy with the performance and quality bar we had set for this release. There were also a few last minute bugs that cropped up and wanted to fix them before launch.
Hope that helps. Once again, we appreciate all the support and feedback!
True, but I'd be happier with an 85% bug free now and the last 15% later than the 100% much later. Also, the 85% bug free is still way better than 2.1 I have now. I've come close to throwing my N1 in a drawer for good a few times.
This is why Google is hesitant to say anything - they are just picked apart. Tell me why you believe they were set back? The only official statement was that 2.2 would come within a matter of weeks.
Typicall google, what a failure, if they were apple this wouldn't happen.
First off, I'd like to say hello! I'm from SA, TX as well.
Secondly, I don't know what they are holding up their sleeve, but I hope it's something good. As they're getting "data" back from something.
Actually, the only "official statement" was this press release where they said it would go "to OEMs and the open source community in the coming weeks" which is still one step removed from an OTA to end-user devices.This is why Google is hesitant to say anything - they are just picked apart.

yes yes yes. i have tmobile but want official froyo FIRST. i did the same with 1.6 on my g1. Google will always impress us with every update. sometimes i think they just want to add the extra 'sparkle'
I know and it bothers me! I have the AT&T friendly N1 and I'm still clean and stock. I don't want to root just to get a stock ROM that I'll be receiving the OTA soon (according to Google a FEW weeks). I'm going to SU and ROOT this thing at some point because I already see customizations I want to do, but I wanted to get Froyo first.
Patience sucks...
Oh well. Looks like this or next week is the week so a little longer can't hurt.
All this hype, a leaked test ROM, and now more waiting ... it's loosing it's luster to me.
I'm currently using Froyo on my phone and it works great. No real issues besides the Navigation sound not working correctly with the Car Dock. So I don't really mind Google taking their time to release the official OTA. Google is adding a lot with Froyo, so I'm not surprised that it's taking them a while to figure out all of the bugs. Hopefully they'll add some more features.
