Do you hear that? That’s the sound of thousands of happy Android owners cheering in unison. UK’s Virgin Media has finally updated its HTC Desire to Android 2.2, and will begin pushing an OTA update to customers in the coming days. From the announcement:
Hi I can confirm that we’ve started sending out the Froyo update as of 9am this morning, however this is only for customers on our Virgin specific firmware (1.23.351.1). Customers on the original firmware (1.15.405.4) will need an update to the 1.23.351.1 firmware first before they can install the Froyo update, but we expect this should be available in the next few days. I’ll post another update here once it goes live.
This is an FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) update which means that you will be prompted to download the update on their handset. We strongly recommend that you use a Wi-Fi connection to download the update. You’ll be asked if you want to back up your handset first, and we recommend this as well.
So with 2.2, Virgina Media Desire owners will be getting wi-fi hotspot abilities, 720p video recording support, and Adobe’s Flash Player 10.1. Sounds like a pretty good update to me!
