14 DAY TRIAL // Even though myTouch 3G smartphone owners have already received the long-awaited Android 2.2 Froyo update, there was still the issue of those T-Mobile customers with myTouch 3.5mm Jack and Fender Limited Edition versions that were promised the update three months ago and are yet to receive it.
Fortunately, T-Mobile has officially stated on its support forums that all customers using myTouch 3G 3.5mm Jack and myTouch Fender LE devices will be receiving the Android 2.2 Froyo update by February 1, 2011.
