Android 2.2's Froyo goodness hitting the Nexus One already? (update: just press so far)

Sometimes it's good to be the chosen child, the special one, and in the eyes of Google the Nexus One is that special phone -- at least for the moment. As such it seems to have been given a special treat: access to Froyo, earlier than expected. TechCrunch's MG Siegler is reporting that his handset received Android 2.2 overnight. So far we're not hearing too many other reports of folks seeing this update, but that could be thanks to everyone sleeping off a week of exciting announcements. Sound off in comments if you're waking up to this frosty, low-calorie snack.

Update: We're not sure how this is being rolled out, as hardly anyone is seeing updates, but via Droidnytt we found a number of reports on Twitter that people are indeed seeing the update.

Update 2: Count us among the lucky few who just received the OTA Froyo update, to our original T-Mobile-based device.

Update 3: We've done some additional investigation, and as far as we can tell, Google is only updating review Nexus Ones that had been provided to the press -- not off-the-shelf phones. We'll stay on this and let you know more as soon as we do.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Paul is currently uploading an update.zip with no prereqs so that you can install it on unlocked phones with custom recovery images. Should be up within the hour. :D

Success loading Froyo by a technological newbie/troglodyte (me) thanks to tips among comments on Engadget. On the other hand, the immediate experience is essentially the same. Not yet getting a sense of the dramatic improvements. I know, I should be patient..(Looks like Lookout app might not work with Froyo??? Uh-oh, phone (carrier: TMO) not working...?)

So far no love for the UK shipping ROM EPF21B. Just got my second nexus one today from Vodafone and got home, as seen here http://www.tvdrawing.com checked engadget to find this, then found I couldn't update. My first nexus had ERE27. Unlucky.
