Every HTC Desire owner in the country should now have FroYo and everybody is happy right? . Well no, not quite. There’s the problem of network-branded phones lagging behind slightly while network “enhancements” are added to the ROMS.This isn’t always a bad thing though, some of the network specific apps are actually great and at least it gives everybody a couple of week protection against teething issues for new software.

For Orange customers there’s now an expected date of the OTA upgrade – around four weeks from now.

Statements from HTC reveal:

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 Wi-Fi 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.

Conor from Orange has confirmed via a tweet that 2.2 will be arriving on HTC Desire units supplied by the network (i.e. new) pretty soon.

The HTC Desire is available from phones4u at the best prices at the moment on all networks. Click for more information
