A listing for the Chinese launch of a bunch of HTC Android phones made the claim that they’ll arrive with Android 2.2 onboard as their OS – even the rather humble little HTC Wildfire.
We expected the new OS to hit the Desire, but the fact that FroYo’s coming to the Wildfire is great news for anyone who’s already bought one of the miniature HTCs.
And we’ll have loads of news to write, as Wildfire owners endlessly harass HTC and their networks for news of 2.2′s arrival. Everyone’s a winner. Links via Phandroid and Engadget.
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?

/ December 14, 2010As said above. I just checked with HTC support, as my daughters wildfire memory is already full after 1 month of owning it.
he said “at the moment the Android 2.2 is not available for the HTC wildfire and we haven’t information of when and IF it will be released. however please keep and eye on our website” :(
my daughter isn’t to happy, I bought a 16gb sd card, but seems a bit pointless now :(

/ December 14, 2010Maybe your daughter is unhappy because her daddy can’t spell ‘too’?

/ December 15, 2010No, i think because she can’t move the installed applications to sd card … as froyo do!
