HTC Desire - 2.2 Update Manual Update?

Hello! I feel dumb.

I have the HTC Desire unlocked here in the US. I'm using AT&T as my network, and everything works fine.

I do not want to root my phone.

I want the upcoming Froyo 2.2 update, and I have seen that it is soon available for Vodafone. This confuses me. I am wondering -- will HTC release the new OS on their website, and I can just download and install it myself?

Also depends on what you mean by 'unlocked'

Unbranded = original HTC ROM (not network specific), updates from HTC not your network provider.

Debranded = network specific ROM with all network branding removed, but it is still network specific and needs an update issued by your network provider.

Unlocked = phone can use any SIM card from any network; ROM can be either be branded, unbranded or debranded.
