HTC to ship all Androids in China with Froyo, While USA Waits
A wordy headline, to be sure, but a pleasing one nonetheless. We came across HTC’s Chinese web portal listing the Desire as coming with Android 2.2 (with Sense!) and simply had to ping the official source for confirmation. It turns out the info up there is no mistake: all HTC Android handsets shipping to China — which includes the Wildfire and Tianyi — will do so with Froyo preloaded, cutting down on your upgrade angst at least until the Gingerbread man comes a’knocking. HTC has also reiterated that a 2.2 update for its phones already on the market will be delivered “very soon,” so if all goes well, we should be looking at a Froyo-dominated August in the land of High Tech Computers.

OK, first of all, HTC is a Chinese company, so this would be no surprise anyway. 2nd, some devices have already received Froyo, and the rest are getting it in August. I don't know when they'll be releasing those phones in China, but it's easier to launch a phone with Froyo than update one in the wild anyway. HTC has been making phones for Chinese brands for a long time, this is just them finally releasing their phones under their own brand. Kind of a non-news item. Sorry, love you guys, but this is DOA.
