So your impatient and want to download and install the 2.0.1 now. Thanks to the Android community the update can be done manually. Some users are downloading the file to there Mac or PC then renaming it and then installing it. Others are doing everything right from a Android device.

The folks over at AllDroid have posted the files and instruction here.  All Droid is where the Droid has been cracked. They have succesfully rooted the phone here. Meaning that users can now modify and improve the functions of there own devices. This is what Android is all about.

There is a thread on doing the manual install different ways on Android Central. Some people say the manual update went well and others are reporting errors. If you have any doubts in your own ability we recommend waiting for the update to be delivered to your Android Phone.
