<Grin>Just wanted to be the first to post the title says 7/30. That's tomorrow. And the article says that's only for limited release. Most people can expect it next week.</Grin>

You're not the one who had to disable their PM's because of being bombarded by people who did that last OTA and then were stuck not being able to root.

All because they couldn't wait 1 day to load the rooted version. Fortunately for them, OTA 1.47 was cracked, but that doesn't mean the next one will be. If I'm not mistaken, it took over 2 months to root the Incredible. Most people haven't even had the EVO 2 months yet. So, when the Froyo OTA unroots your phone, you could be stuck for over 2 months.

Yes, there is a good chance that it will be cracked, but the fact remains that it's better to wait for the rooted version than to just do the OTA and assume that eventually there will be a work around.
And yes, there is a very small chance that it will not affect the rooting process at all, but, if you're hoping for that, then you're probably also hoping for Android 3.0 this September.

I'm only being realistic. If people dont heed the warnings that is on them, this is Darwin's theory at work. Sorry for you having to disable your PMs.

Stupid question that I think I know the answer to. Will we have to back everything up and reinstall when the 2.2 is released and installed?

Any data stored on the phone's internal space is going to be wiped. This means your apps, text messages, etc.

You can only do so much to warn people not to do any OTA till the chefs get a crack at it. If they don't wanna listen then that's really their bad.

CM6 will definitely lift off once this is out!
