I went to the HTC website and filled in a tech support request pleading that they update the Eris to 2.2 as with its slower processor it could use the speed increase more than newer phones can.

fingers crossed as you're right... and Verizon is still selling them pretty briskly it seems (we now have 2 in our house)

Android 2.2 (Froyo) is official and impressive
This one doesn’t come as much of a surprise, but it’s huge news. The newest version of Android–Froyo, as in frozen yogurt– was officially announced, despite the fact that we’ve known about it and its features for some time know. The big take-aways are that it is scary fast (2-5x faster than Android 2.1 for CPU-bound activity), browser Javascript performance is 2-3x faster than 2.1, there is a new data backup API, Android is more enterprise-friendly than ever, and app errors are now reported back to developers for better tracking and improving their apps in the future. The SDK was updated and devices get WiFi tethering as well. All told, it’s a big step forward for Android.

----------------------

Google I/O has revealed what looks to be the final list of handsets getting Froyo, they include:

• Motorola Droid
• Google Nexus One
• Droid Incredible
• HTC Desire
• HTC Evo 4G
• myTouch Slide

HTC has also suggested that all HTC phones launched in 2010 would get Android 2.2, and that launch dates for the updates would be released on a per phone basis. Most, if not all those updates will occur in the second half of this year.


The upgrade to Froyo is desirable for all Android smartphones due to speed increases, updated APIs and services, the V8 Javascript engine, and new features in Android Market.

the desire and eris are not the same phones. the desire is more like the incredible spec wise. desire was the first unofficial codename for the eris.....you will notice desire spelled backward is eris (minus the de)

Half Spanish, half backwards.
