nit picking? not really.
you "warned" about this:
...all those people that have purchased a phone directly from their network operator that currently have generic firmware pre-installed may end up with a network branded phone after the update to Froyo...
which would never happen because if you have generic firmware, you will get generic updates from HTC.
what really happened is that Vodafone customers were looking out for FroYo 2.2 and Vodafone sneaked out an update to their own 2.1 firmware at the same time which caught people out.
What he means is the original firmware on the handset had absolutely no branding on there at all, so many would have believed it to be a generic firmware. So when seeing that there is an update available you would believe it was the generic 2.2, when in fact it was a vodafone firmware with a load of vodafone branding and what appears to be a new bootloader that prevents us from flashing any other roms!
