This week, the Motorola Droid is expected to get the latest version of Android. The update should begin before weeks end, and users with Motorola Droid Smartphones on the Verizon network will be upgraded to Android version 2.2 (Froyo). However, Verizon has announced that Droid users will not get the complete upgrade. The Upgrade will not include Froyo’s ability to turn your phone into a WiFi hotspot. It also will not include the tethering option. Verizon claims that the phone’s hardware is not sophisticated enough to handle tethering, or hotspot capabilities.

Later this month, the Droid X (Motorola’s latest smartphone, also on Verizon) will get the full Android 2.2 upgrade. This is scheduled to begin towards the end of the month, if all goes as planned. The Nexus One, and Sprints HTC EVO have already received or begun to receive the upgrades.

The latest Froyo version of Android will have many new upgrades. Processing speeds are supposed to be a whole lot faster, and the ability to surf the internet on your PC through your phone’s connection has been added.
