Mobile phone consort HTC confirms finished Facebook communication that those fans with unbranded HTC Legend handsets tradition hit daylong to move for their update to Android 2.2 Froyo. Within the incoming pair of weeks, owners of the unbranded edition of the HTC Legent module hit the update, with those grouping carrying branded versions of the phone (like the Vodafone version, for example,) should be receiving the update after it’s been authorised by their chosen carrier.
A communication was dispatched including the mass book to fans of HTC on Facebook, content which includes programme of the near update:
We undergo that a sort of you hit been rattling communicatory most wanting an update for your Legend. First and foremost, we would aforementioned to excuse for not responding to your current pleas most the update. But we hit been listening.

For quite a some grouping discover there, the update to Android 2.2 wasn’t as silky uncreased as Motorola belike had hoped it would be, so it’s no assail that Motorola would be actuation hornlike to intend added update to the handsets discover there in the wild, hoping to mend plentitude of bugs that grouping inform every day. If this newborn ikon is some indicator, then it looks same the update is reaching soon.
Of course, verify this with a foodstuff of salt, as null has been addicted by Motorola or Verizon, and the above ikon crapper be faked easily enough. With that existence said, if the ikon is true, then the Droid X should be expecting an update to Android 2.2.1, which should primarily pore on sterilisation bugs. An update same this could also stingy that Verizon’s VCAST App Store could be making its attendance on the device, too.
There’s no articulate on when the update, if it’s real, is feat to realty on the eld of devices discover there, but if you’ve got yourself a Droid X, it looks same you could be in distinction for added OTA update. Excited?
Let the 4G wars begin. AT&T is making a brave still inevitable advise in bashing T-Mobiles fresh renamed ’4G’ network. They go as farther as locution they modify currently counterbalance more grouping than T-Mobile does currently, or module by year’s end.
In an telecommunicate to Phone School AT&T stated:

AT&T’s HSPA+ meshwork could be titled 4G if they followed T-Mobile’s highly debated example, but to what extent they module intend to it as 4G module be up to them.
The engrossing conception comes in with T-Mobile marketing it’s meshwork as “America’s maximal 4G network” which is semi-true – by definition. But, if AT&T was to take the 4G branding, technically they module be the biggest.
