The Android 2.2 (FroYo) update for HTC Desire will start rolling out across Europe this weekend. As well as including the complete set of Android 2.2 features, the update will contain a few special additions of our own through the latest iteration of HTC Sense. The update will provide 720p video capture, HTC’s App Share widget, as well as our enhanced HTC Caller ID, and improved multi-language keyboard. Also, through the update, HTC Sync will allow HTC Desire users to sync their music with iTunes.
HTC Desire users will be notified that the over-the-air update is available to download when their phone automatically checks for software updates. The update won’t delete any of the phone’s content. However, due to the size of the update, we would advise using a WiFi connection to download it wherever possible to avoid additional data charges.
This update will initially roll out to unlocked HTC Desire handsets. Operator specific versions of the update are undergoing testing and we expect to make them available in several weeks’ time.

X10 and desire came out on the same time... one with android 1.6 and the other with 2.1 (this already leaves sonyericsson way behind) and now desire gets the update to 2.2 first than X10 to 2.1 .... Shame on you Sony! It seems that these days if you want to keep up to date (both software and hardware) you need to buy a samsung or a htc phone! Nokia is going down in the high end phones and the only thing that saves SE is their designs

Well I have now had my X10 changed for a Desire. The loss of the extra phone memory is far out weighed by the excellent htc sense live wallpapers, standard widgets, and more. I also prefer the design of the Desire to the X10. Sorry SE but you have along way to go before you can come even close to htc. And before I get shot down for flaming SE, I have been along time SE and Ericsson before that user. Now not all the the fault with the X10 on voda was SE's fault, allot of it was to do with the voda branding, and yes I could have had it debranded, but why should I have to loose my warranty because of the branding, so challenged voda on this, and it took very little for them to agree to exchange the handset for any other of my choice, and by a stroke of luck, voda had just had a delivery of black none amloed screen Desires. My son has the desire with the amloed screen, and the two side by side are very hard to tell the difference.
I for one am happy now, but also disappointed I had to loose my X10.

Congrats to the Desire users.
As for the X10, SE made it clear that it would come with 1.6 and that the X10 will get the OS update later in the year, those that are complaining knew this and still took the plunge and bought X10 over the Desire, so dont blame SE. Personaly im happy with my X10, i had the clear option of getting a Desire ,its actualy slightly cheaper than X10, but i chose X10 knowing what i was getting into and i can say i dont regret it,im happy for you Desire users,but i simply couldn't bring myself to liking it, il be patiently waiting for X10's update,i have a great feeling about it.

A very objective opinion...

Maybe the hardware similarities with the nexus one played a role in this 'early' froyo version for the desire. It seems HTC is becoming the 'king' in android devices. I know the samsung galaxy s is ahead in terms of hardware but it looks too much like an iphone copy-cat lol and I'm sure HTC will catch up in no time.
