Any OTA Froyo in UK yet?

*sigh* News like this always brings me running back to the android forums.

Someone nudge me when a UK-er receives theirs. I may be developing RSI from locking and unlocking my phone. And at this rate, if I do get the update whilst at work I won't have any battery left ;)

You can stay at work all day without charging it lol?
Get yourself a Nokia USB cable off Amazon for about

You don't still have an aversion to manually updating do you? :p

Has anyone in the UK with a nexus one from vodafone got the ota yet?

Google said "by the end of the week".

Im starting to think its not going to happen soon

Nexus One customers that bought the phone from Vodafone will be getting Froyo, albeit a little delayed. We have to make a few changes to Froyo to optimize it for the Vodafone network (small stuff around Emergency calling, etc.), so it will take at least another couple of weeks (changes + testing).

Apologize for the extra delay, but please understand that this is a large scale deployment with lots of intricacies and we have to be prudent. I can assure you that we are striving hard to get Froyo out to all Nexus One customers ASAP.

Thanks for your continued support!

Ouchies. Bad luck guys. I am still waiting too... people at work are proper taking the mick now as they're all iPhone lovers and I started getting excited about the update round about the time of the I/O conference... Every time my phone beeps or the trackball flashes I get a little ripple of hope, but alas.

@DHEvans - my phone's battery is a brute. As long as it has at least a bar of signal, it'll last from 6am til 6am the next morning. But I plug in overnight anyway :)

@Rusty - yes. The thought of messing with my phone, even in an appropriate manner, makes me feel sicky. Plus, right, get this... the anticipation of the update is all part of the Android experience... or something...

I bought my phone back in March directly from Google (still not received my vat bill yet :) ) but I have a vodafone sim in it; does that mean I have to wait for vodafone to mess with the settings? Or will I get ota from Google?

You shouldn't have to wait for Vodafone.

Have you done any other manual updates or is your build number still ERE27?

I thought it was too good to be true. I handed back an HTC Legend for that reason (and a wifi problem). I hoped the nexus one would give me OTA updates direct from Google - not Google >> HTC >> Vodafone = several months in the case of the Legend... more like Google >> Vodafone = several weeks then?

Aw well, I suppose I'll wait and see.

Thanks.

Not entirely happy but I understand that Vodafone have to protect themselves by checking the update over and making sure it doesn't cause any adverse effects for it's customer base. Imagine how it would look if the other carriers had no problems and Vodafone did!

Having said that...waiting patiently here on EPF21B stock.

Well I couldn't wait any longer and after the recent comments about Vodafone enforced changes to Froyo I upgraded from EFP21B to Froyo this afternoon.

All straightforward and painless thanks to the numerous guides on the web. I had to unlock the bootloader and flash a different ROM, but all in it only took 30 minutes or so - would have been much quicker if I wasn't triple checking each step!

So far so good and the new features, such as chrome to phone and bluetooth voice dialling are great!

I'm now considering this also. As gingerbread (3.0) is supposedly out q4 this year I reckon with vodafones shenanigans it'll be q1 2011 before our nexus ones get it. So I may as well root.
