Vodafone Nexus One Getting Android 2.2 FroYo Upgrade in the Next Few Days
Vodafone’s been hard at work on getting FroYo ready for their Nexus One, and that day is finally nearing. For Germans at least, you can put your torches down (make sure they’re extinguished first, though) as they’ve tweeted that it’ll be ready in the next few days (translated).
We’re not sure if the same can be said for the UK version of the device, but the company’s been hit with a massive thread of complaints over at their support forums by that crowd. They’ve been wondering why they have yet to receive the official upgrade to Android 2.2, and the reason that they haven’t sent their rage meter through the roof: Vodafone’s apparently been messing about in the source code to clean some things up, and many feel they have no right to do that.
It’s said that they are making changes to ensure voicemail and data will provision correctly after users install the upgrade, but some skeptics already have their own theory: they fear Vodafone may be customizing FroYo to rid the firmware of its data-draining tether and hotspot features. That story’s already been told, though, so let’s move on and wait for the upgrade to see if Vodafone’s really just looking out for you guys and not trying to snatch away those delicious toppings that FroYo comes sprinkled with.
