Desire 2.2 OTA Update

First impressions.... downloaded ota update via wifi and it took about 5 mins or so to install. Then upon restart, it did its counting upto 100% before i could use the phone.. Did not back up anythink previous, because im lazy. All updated to The new Software number 2.10.405.2. Everythink works fine, not noticed anythink stunning, however my HD video was improved (cant say too much, as i dont really use it), and phone appeared slighty zippier. Can confirm, the phone is quicker, well mine is. Nice.

For your information. My Desire was a vodafone branded handset, to which i put the stock 2.1 Desire rom on, then manually updated to the 2.2 froyo OTA update via SD card. Then updated to this new OTA. Goldcard was not needed, nor did any lock screen appear when i did mine. :Edit.: it appears my sd card, is a goldcard, as it was the sd card i used to create it. Sorry i wasnt aware

TBH , i didnt even think about goldcard till it was mentioned on here. Ive checked my sd card to see if the goldcard image was still on the card itself, but it isnt. I assume that the goldcard is not needed if you debranded, applied stock 2.1, then applied OTA 2.2 froyo update. Wifi and APN all working, as is everythink else ive tested. Edit.: it appears my sd card, is a goldcard, as it was the sd card i used to create it. Sorry i wasnt aware .
