Three’s Desire Getting FroYo Before “End of Summer”
Three has once again set a window for another one of their phones to receive an upgrade to the latest version of Android. This time, they’ve given a broad date in “end of summer” so as to not promise too much and deliver too little. We know HTC has the upgrade for the Desire ready – so I’m confident the deadline can be met – but they still have to make carrier specific changes and perform carrier specific testing before they can push it live. Here’s Three’s full quote:
“Although the HTC Desire update was released for unlocked phones last week, HTC are building a specific version for Three which will take them a few weeks. Once we have this version it will be tested, approved by Google and then rolled out to customers. Although it goes without saying that we will get the update to customers ASAP, it’s likely to be towards the end of summer until we can guarantee a problem free version for our customers”
Yay for transparency!
