Apparently that early glitch has been solved; still no word for O2 customers itching to upgrade nearly 5 months after the Froyo was actually released - they might as well skip this release and start preparing for the Android 2.3 'Gingerbread' release which is due to demo some of the following new features in Q4 2010;

• Bugfixes based upon its predecessor operating systems.
• Open source video codec that can replace flash.
• Enhanced advertising algorithm.
• Advanced Navigation System.
• HTML5 or higher standard specs.
• Native video embedding in web pages that will enable viewing of any video without acquiring specific codec.
• Enriched & more interactive User Interface.

Oh wait, only those on O2 UK are *still* waiting... even Vodafone customers have received their update! Brilliant. NO, not at all! :(

Apparently O2 pushed out the 2.2 update to O2 locked handsets earlier this month on the 6th Sept; however the update was only live for a couple of hours before HQ changed their mind because irate customer feedback indicated it was rinsing more than the occasional handset... stuck on the O2 boot-up screen of all places... talk about rubbing your face in it :/

Apparently there will be a new release attempt at the end of September, that can't come soon enough for me. In the meantime I think I'll be changing the gel case on my HTC Desire, currently I'm sporting a Purple Gel Case but I think I'm going refresh the look with an even more eye-catching HTC Desire case... in bright red this time :)

For the iPHone 4 owners out there, you also get a couple new features namely; high dynamic range imaging [to improve photo quality] and the 'essential' new feature of being able to upload your HD videos straight onto YouTube via a friendly Wi-Fi connection.

There are a few other tweaks and improvements, but nothing so groundbreaking as to be worth a mention - and for those naughty monkey's out there who desire to jailbreak their devices... apparently a hack is already available so no worries in that regard!

...I can already hear you booting up iTunes :)
