14 DAY TRIAL // Today, Taiwanese mobile phone maker HTC Corporation has made an official announcement regarding the availability of the Android 2.2 operating system for its HTC Wildfire devices out there.
HTC promised the release of this software update for the HTC Wildfire a while ago, and it seems that things are finally lining up for those who purchased the handset.
According to the company, the new Android 2.2 Froyo operating system flavor is expected to become available for Wildfire devices across the European continent as soon as this week.
However, not all devices would taste the solution during the following days, and the entire update process would be completed by February, the company announced.
The announcement was made via Facebook. Here's what HTC had to say on the matter:
We know many of you have been asking for information about an update for your Wildfire. Well, we have good news! Android 2.2 (aka Froyo) on Wildfire is scheduled to begin rolling out this week in Europe, reaching all areas of the world by February.
Thanks for your patience as these updates roll out; we think you’ll enjoy the final product.
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask here. We will share as much information as we can. Thanks for your patience and for being a HTC customer! The software update should bring a nice range of new features and capabilities into the mix, including support for Flash Player 10.1, which would result in an enhanced Internet browsing experience for all Wildfire users.
Moreover, the update would provide an increase in performance for the HTC Wildfire, along with access to more applications and services straight from the handset.
The roll-out would most probably include only unlocked devices out there at the moment, but it should not be too long before carrier's branded phones receive it as well. Keep an eye on this space for additional info on the matter.
