Motorola Droid

I think the "IF" question is answered. At this point the only way they won't get 2.2 is if they decide to skip to 2.3 or gingerbread (assuming for the moment that gingerbread != 2.3...). There is a leaked 2.2 Kernel that runs great. I THINK that the leaked kernel doesn't even need root, but there's a rooted 2.2 as well; which happens to be what I am running now.

Everyone else has to deal with carriers.
