Rumor: Droid, Droid Incredible, Droid X Blessed With Froyo Starting August 6

Here’s a juicy rumor fresh from the rumor mill: the three major Droid smartphones on the Verizon network (Motorola Droid, HTC Droid Incredible, Motorola Droid X) are all set to receive the coveted Android 2.2 update together on August 6. AndroidSpin received tip from someone close with Verizon who is saying this is already confirmed and not simply a rumor. However, since we haven’t heard explicit word from Motorola or HTC, we have to label this as a rumor.

Since large software roll outs generally take a decent amount of time, Verizon expects all devices to receive the update by August 15. Now, you may remember the Motorola Droid 2 is slated to launch with Froyo, so if these devices receive Android 2.2 by August 15, it does make sense the Droid 2 launches with Froyo on the 15th.

Should we hear any more rumors or official word from HTC or Motorola, we’ll keep you updated.
