FRF91 OTA Update Released for Nexus One

Nexus One was the first mobile phone to arrive on the market with Google's Android 2.1 operating system on board. Moreover, it was the first handset to be sold via Google's own web store (though the only one too, since the Internet giant killed off the idea), and was also the first to benefit from the enhancements the Android 2.2 Froyo update brings into the mix. Interestingly enough, following the official announcement that Froyo is rolling out over the air to Nexus One, reports on a new OTA update being pushed out to it started to emerge.

The official Android 2.2 software update for the Google Nexus One came to devices as the Froyo FRF85 build, while the new solution reportedly started landing as build FRF91. According to some of the latest reported on the matter, the new software solution is being released on Nexus One units out there with the sole purpose of enhancing the security of the device. There are some small changes under the hood as well, but the main reason for Google rolling-out the FRF91 update for Nexus One are the security updates packed inside the solution.

The past few weeks brought to light a wide range of news on Android 2.2 Froyo. Not only did Nexus One receive the official update, but also tasted a series of beta builds before that, some of which weren't initially meant to be made public. Moreover, the Android Developers made available the source code for Android 2.2 last week, a move that would offer handset makers the possibility to pack the solution on new devices or to provide software updates for existing devices.

It seems that Google is set to make all things right for its users. Making sure that Android 2.2 is capable of providing the experience expected from it is only one measure the company takes in this direction. In case there are some who installed the previous FRF85 build and would like to move on to the new solution without waiting for it to be delivered over the air, they can download the update via this link (via Phandroid).
