HTC Desire getting official Android 2.2 rollout tomorrow
HTC has promised that the Legend, Wildfire, and Desire would all be getting Android 2.2 sometime in Q3 of this year, and by the looks of some tweets by one of the directors at HTC Europe, Mark Moon. The above picture has been translated by Google Translate, and with the tweet stating that HTC will start rolling out 2.2 updates to Desire handsets tomorrow then get the other two devices later. However I wonder if this is just for European HTC units or worldwide.
This news makes sense with the news of all of the recent leaks for official Android 2.2 updates for many devices, as well as the fact that the Droid Incredible, Droid, and Droid X are expected to start getting 2.2 in August. It looks like manufacturing companies have finished their testing of 2.2 on most of their handsets and are ready to release them to us. This is great news for Desire owners who have been waiting for the 2.2 update. We all know that there are probably ways of getting 2.2 on your device that isn’t official, but for those people that don’t want to risk damaging their device this means you don’t have to wait much longer.
Since this is the first of the three announced HTC handsets to get the 2.2 update, does this sway your decision on which phone you are thinking of getting? It will be the first Android phone to get an official 2.2 update since the Nexus One, but if you feel like waiting it definitely wont be the last.

It’s official – unlocked versions are rolling out today but if, like most people, you bought it from a network like T-Mobile or Orange, you have to wait “Several more weeks”

What happens if you unlock your device though?. I’m going to give that a go this morning and will post on here what happens.

Yeah mine is already unlocked through o2. Tried a Vodafone sim card today and it worked. Hopefully I will get the upgrade this weekend

This is no rumor. Htc has sent an email to all desire users (at least in sweden) saying that i would begin this weekend.

downloading 2.2 at the moment ireland.it has arrived
August 1st, 2010 at 12:30 pm
Using 2.2 right now. Unlocked Desire on Vodafone UK. Checked for updates about an hour ago and there it was! Download took about 5-6 mins (90mb). Install took about 10mins. Looks no different, however 720p video cam available and iPlayer / TV catch-up works at last
I would say the phone is a little more responsive as well. Will keep checking it out.
