HTC Aria gets the Android 2.2 (Froyo) update OTA
Rejoice Aria owners - HTC have just announced a firmware update for your precious smartphone that takes it to the latest but one Android version. Available as an Over The Air update you don't even need a computer at hand to get Froyo on your phone.
Of course, the update involves downloading a substantial amount of data so we suggest you listen to what HTC says and use a Wi-Fi connection or at least an unlimited internet plan for it. Also the update will erase all your personal information so a backup before applying it is highly recommended.
The update also includes improvements to the HTC home-backed Sense UI and not only to the underlying Android OS. After you apply it, you can go to MENU> Settings> About Phone> Software Information> Build number and check out if it was successful. The build number of the new release is 2.37.708.5.
The update for the carrier-locked versions isn't available just yet, but it should follow shortly.
