Only unlocked phones will get it first. Then in a couple of weeks, the providers will release their own specific updates.

              I can't find anything wrong with the 720p video recording either, I tested it out by recording some high speed trains in Kent & it's smooth as anything, apart from the wobbly owner! LOL!

              As the saying goes a bad workman always blames his tools. :-P

Works really well although every single shake of the camera shows up even more now because of the higher resolution. Need a Desire tripod :)

                            frankie, 03 Aug 2010hey i just want to ask if the unlock screen changes when up... moreThe screen stays the same, There is very little visual difference to the update as the Sense UI is mostly the same as before, just a few little tweaks here and there in certain HTC apps & widgets. The changes are subtle but very very nice once you know what's what.

                            hey i just want to ask if the unlock screen changes when updating to froyo 2.2 or it just stays the same?
