    Sounds good.

    I was trying to watch the world cup on RTE's site earlier in the week and found out it wouldn't work. Full Flash will surely fix that so hopefully it's sooner rather than later or all the matches will be over! haha

    I love it. Everyone speculates about when the update will be rolled out, and then spends the next few weeks giving out when it doesn't turn up.

    I'll be holding my breath. :)

    Truthfully if google fail to get 2.2 offically release on the 23rd they will have missed a chance of getting one over on Apple the day before the official release of the iphone. So I'm really hoping that they are pusing HTC to have the update ready for then. However given the Droid X is being announced on the 23rd I am a funny feeling we won't be seeing HTC release it on the same day

    FWIW Google have just published updates to Listen, Translate and Sky Maps.

    Might be getting ready for something ;)

    Nexus One confirmed for release in S. Korea on the 21st... with FroYo on board.

    Motorola holding a press conference for the Droid X release on the 23rd... and Google and Adobe are going to be in attendance at it too, which seems unusual.

    Seems like something is afoot, alright.

    That's been out for weeks. With vanilla froyo not released yet, I very much doubt we'll see it on the Desire before the end of the month.

    Update from 6/23/2010:
    HTC has denied through his PR agency, that there will be two weeks in an operating system update for the Desire and the Legend. The statement was based on a misunderstanding. It is certain that the HTC Hero will receive in the next two weeks, his update to Android 2.1. In updating the Desire remains vague and HTC will deliver an update to the third quarter. If and when the Legend to upgrade to get Android 2.2, you do not know yet.

    Hmm, not a great translation..but it looks like 2.2 is way off.

    Spelling it out... :)
    For those of us waiting, however impatiently, for our own version of Android 2.2 (FroYo), today very good day. The official Android 2.2 release has just been moved to the Android Open Source Project, and will now be available for developer release.

    So what’s that mean to you? In a nutshell, it means that individual developers can now build and release FroYo ROM’s for any device.

    So, if you’ve been carrying around your Motorola Droid, HTC Desire or any other device slaved to 2.1 or before, you should be getting some amazing 2.2 love very soon.

    What’s the big deal with 2.2? Quite a bit has changed, but here’s the highlights:

    * Improved Gallery
    * Huge camera changes
    * Faster overall performance
    * We get Flash!

    I can tell you, first hand, that the performance upgrades from 2.1 to 2.2 are amazing. While I’ve not noticed any discernable difference in my battery life, the overall user experience of 2.2 is vastly superior to 2.1 and below.

    Personally, I welcome our new yogurt-eating-robot overlords.

    I'd expect a FroyoHero very soon! :)

    So are HTC only getting their mitts on Froyo today? If so it could be 2-3 months before an official release I would have thought.

    2.2 FRF83 OTA is out now for Nexus One? Haven't got it yet myself, using FRF72 currently.

    Update: Seems there is an update out to get from FRF72 to FRF83. This updates works a treat, on FRF83 now (Nexus One non-rooted).

    Legend is good, I have one and recommend it. The Desire is a better spec but also a bit pricier

    Just upgraded to FRF83 myself. Seems a small update so haven't noticed any change yet.

    I have the option of a desire for 340 euro or the legend for 320 euro both simfree , which do you think I should get , bearing in mind that the legend does look savage . I dont really know about pocketability because i havent held them or if theres much of a difference between them . It'd be good if you could let me know , thanks .

    I had both and I prefer the Legend. Nicer size and not that much difference in the spec.
