Motorola Droid users have started receiving Android 2.2 as an OTA update.
Build Number for this Froyo update is FRG01B.
Verizon Wireless has started to push out a new firmware for Droid Eris owners. This new update is called Maintenance Release 4 (MR4), and started rolling out on July 16th. It will take up to a few weeks before every Droid Eris owner has received the udpate.
Here is what dEris86 wrote on Verizon’s forums:
The update released on July 16th has fixed my “Silent Call” issue thus far. So please be patient as you will get the OTA MR4 soon. It may take a week before the whole customer base has the update but you WILL get it.
I installed the update the day they started rolling out the update (July 16th) and as of today (July 18), I have had no issues with silent calls yet. So I will keep my fingers crossed and hope this will fix it for good.
Cheers,
David

Verizon is currently pushing an OTA update for the DROID Incredible. The update will not bring Android 2.2 on board, but for instance Skype, 720p video recording, mobile hotspot functionality and a new boot-up animation is added by this update, so you could actually call it a big update.

When Google announced Android 2.2 (Froyo) last week, they said that it comes with a new JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler, that will bring you enormous speed increases. In the video you’ll see how Android 2.1 runs compared to the new Android 2.2.
In the video, the Nexus One is in charge of Android 2.2, and Motorola Droid and Sprint Evo 4G again of the Android 2.1 (Eclair) side. Please note that the Nexus One’s Android 2.2 isn’t the final version, but a pre-release version that hasn’t been fully optimized.
