The roll-out of Android 2.2 for the Nexus One has hit the UK today, with several readers pinging us with emails and tweets about the arrival of the next-gen Android on their phones. Not quite as exciting a day as the HTC Hero 2.1 launch party, but still rather great news if you’re in the Nexus One elite.
As ever, arrival of the through-the-networks update seems to be coming out in phases – unlocked and import model users are getting it first, while people connected via UK-seller Vodafone are being made to wait. And aren’t particularly happy about that, as you might expect…
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ July 2, 2010But what about those of use who bought our phone out of contract, but are on SIM only Voda? Will we have our update blocked in lieu of the Voda homegrown update? I’m going to leave my PAYG 3 SIM in for a while and see what haps.

/ July 2, 2010Why wait for OTA? Get a decent newsfeed for froyo updates direct download links. (Or ‘Checkin’.) Don’t think I’ve been more than moments behind the leaders and am now on FRF91 (after frf50, frf72, frf85b).

/ July 2, 2010My Nexus was purchased unlocked in February. I use my t-mobile sim and when I switched on to check emails about 15 minutes ago I received the OTA update automatically.

Nick
/ July 3, 2010I’m on Vodafone U.K. and got my Nexus One from a Store on a 24 month contract. 2 days ago I had an icon pop up on my phone saying 2.2 update available, so I clicked it, it disappeared and nothing happened. My phone still has 2.1 and tells me it is up to date! Can anyone explain this?
ups
/ July 3, 2010Got mine just now, had bought from Google and was using an O2 SIM with it.

/ July 4, 2010I bought mine from the googlestore and I have a T-mobile sim. I got the update today, whereas my girlfriend got it yesterday. (She also has T-mobile sim)
Not much change but it feels slightly quicker.

/ July 10, 2010I have a nexus one a a 24 months contract from Vodafone, I am also still expecting this update, why is Vodafone treating their customers like $£@T? This is very unfair and disgusting.

/ July 11, 2010Vodafone are crap. When the update is release for the Nexus one it probably wont work. Worst Mobile company in the world by some margin. Getting close to rooting it and installing the unofficial version.

/ July 12, 2010I didn’t bother waiting anymore. Used this guide (http://bloginblack.de/2010/07/how-to-upgrade-your-vodafone-google-nexus-one-from-epf30-to-froyo-today/) and now have Froyo goodness. Phone is way speedier and from this point on will get any update that Google pushes OTA.
Been watching iPlayer on Wifi and it is good!
