T-Mobile UK to Deploy Android 2.2 Froyo for Motorola DEFY in July

Even though most Android fans who own Motorola DEFY smartphone purchased in the UK have already updated their devices to Froyo, there is still a small community that has been left out.

Those who have been unfortunate to purchase a Motorola DEFY from T-Mobile UK are still stuck on Android 2.1 Eclair.

However, this will change soon as the carrier has recently announced that it will start rolling out the Android 2.2 (Froyo) update at the start of July.

The announcement was made via Twitter and does not include a certain release date, but it is a common fact that these updates are deployed gradually, so the process could start this weekend and be completed next week.

“Good news to all our Motorola Defy wielding customers, Android 2.2 (Froyo) will start rolling out at the start of July. :-)”

Along with the software update, users will receive several new important features, as well as performance enhancements.

Motorola DEFY owner will be able to access rich web content and games thanks to the newly introduced support for Adobe Flash Player 10.3.

The performance of the phone will also be noticeably enhanced, along with the user interface, which will now be faster and the application operation and web browsing.

Other important upgrades include the ability to store applications on the smartphone's microSD card, as well as the option to allow applications to be automatically updated by checking the “allow automatic updating” under each app’s page in Android Market.

The profiles feature has been added as well and provides users with three customizable sets of home screens that give them quick access to the apps, shortcuts and widgets.

In addition, users will be able to search for certain phone numbers and contacts from the dialer screen by simply entering the first few letters of the contact’s name or the first few digits of the contact’s number.

Security features, including Exchange-based encryption and password security, task manager and LinkedIn have been added as well.
