But, with that being said, everyone who owns a Nexus One has either been waiting patiently to get their official upgrade to Froyo (which was released by Google a little while ago), especially those on carriers.

Remember the rumors last week detailing a new FRF 72 Froyo update available on some Nexus One handsets? Well, it appears that the rumors were dead on and the build update is now available for download and manual install.
