In a little tweet this morning, Three UK confirmed that finally – FINALLY! – owners of branded HTC Desires bought through the network will be getting their upgrade to Android 2.2 tomorrow.
And look, Three has been so bold as to specify the precise time that HTC will launch the update. That’s a very brave thing to do. We wouldn’t fancy being a Three UK call centre operative at 16:01 Taiwanese time tomorrow if it doesn’t go up on time.
Would it be rubbing salt in the wound to say something like “better late than never” right now, Three users? Link via Recombu , which has done the maths and says 16:00 in Taiwan is 9.00am UK time.
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
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?

/ October 13, 2010This is the best news I’ve had all day. Looks like the 3store in Norwich were right when i asked them. App2SD, no more “running low on space” warnings. Hopefully we won’t have to have a certain amount of space on the phone to download

/ October 13, 2010You probably had one of the initial unbranded handsets. Tomorrows update is for those on custom 3 firmware.

/ October 13, 2010be wary, orange have stopped internet sharing and i believe O2 are doing the same. If its a function you use regularly, the update isnt worth losing it.

/ October 14, 2010Just so people know. I tried searching for the update on the phone, couldn’t find it. I then changed the date to the 14/12/11 and the notification immediately popped up

/ October 14, 2010Commenters on the Three blog are downloading it, too. Looks like HTC hit that launch time almost to the second.
