Vodafone UK is the first European mobile phone carriers that started the release of this software solution for Desire, after HTC started pushing it out to unlocked devices earlier this month. Other wireless services providers in the UK and in Europe also dedicated in bringing the Android 2.2 Froyo solution for their Desire units, but it seems that this won't happen until next month.
As for Vodafone UK Company announced has start sending out the update over-the-air to its users, and that it should take about two weeks before all Desire owners receive it. Nexus One was one of the hottest Android-based devices the carrier launched this year, it makes sense that Vodafone tried to update it to Froyo as soon as possible. Its new OS version is that Vodafone reportedly removed all carrier-branded applications from the mix, as this post on the carrier's forums notes.
According to some of those who already installed the solution, no Vodafone applications are present on the device after the update, and all things seem to be working faster than before. In all fairness, Google announce that Android 2.2 should deliver important performance enhancements when compared to previous flavors of the OS. At the same time, we should note that Vodafone did announce the removal of Vodafone 360 services from the HTC Desire, along with the availability of some Vodafone 360 specific applications in the Android Market.
