Vodafone Desire customers get screwed

Vodafone sent out a "branding update" called 2.1-update 1 this morning; Vodafone Desire owners all thought that they were receiving Google’s latest OS 2.2 Froyo. And have been up in arms as the Vodafone UK forum is alight with posts.

Vodafone explained this week that: "We are working with HTC and Google to push the new 2.2 Android firmware out to Vodafone HTC Desire customers as soon as possible.
"We'll update customers when we have a confirmed release date."

After having to flash my Vodafone branded N95 8GB and my Orange branded Omnia i8910, I swore that would never buy another contract phone again. I currently have a sim free Desire running 2.2 Froyo, and it’s a dream. For all you iPhone fan-boys bigging up the iPhone 4, I have 3 words for you – pot, kettle, black… Vodafone is trying to emulate exactly what Apple is doing and have been doing for the last 3 years - with their super proprietary iPhone. The funny thing is that fan-boys are oblivious to this fact .LOL.
