While HTC gets itself in the most almighty mess, Motorola’s very-slow-but-steady approach to Android OS updates is continuing to pay off for its users. The manufacturer has just announced the arrival of the official Android 2.2 update for the UK Motorola DEFY, with the NECESSARY FILES now available for download via its support site.
The release notes are available as a PDF file here, if you’d like to have a look at what awaits DEFY users when they excitedly connect to their wi-fi tonight.
Forgot just how many really useful changes came in along with Android 2.2. It’s a good day to be a DEFY owner.

Really quite compelling now!

/ October 11, 2011Update doesn’t work. The so called ‘files’ you speak of don’t help with the update.
I downloaded Motorola Software Update and it doesn’t work. FAIL!
RIP Steve Jobs… at least iPhones work!

/ November 22, 2011Did the 2.2 update from Motorola website – doesn’t work with windows 7 (doesn’t tell you this until you have downloaded the file & try to update phone) so I did it on my laptop with Vista.
After update, phone is much slower and hangs a lot. Also the camera didn’t work and took a bit of fiddling around to get it working.
Good now being able to stream online videos and music on things like the BBC website.
Despite the phone being slower now, it’s worth updating!
