HTC Wildfire getting Froyo over the next couple months, Europe this week

Good news for you folks with the non-U.S. version of the HTC Wildfire: Your Froyo update is on the way. OK, so's Christmas. But, really, it's coming. HTC said so on its Facebook page this morning:

"We know many of you have been asking for information about an update for your Wildfire. Well, we have good news! Android 2.2 (aka Froyo) on Wildfire is scheduled to begin rolling out this week in Europe, reaching all areas of the world by February. Thanks for your patience as these updates roll out; we think you’ll enjoy the final product."

So what about the U.S. version? (That's the Alltel model you see above.) We'd expect an update in that same timetable. Repeated for any U.S. carrier with the HTC Wildfire: We expect an update in the same timetable. Don't make liars out of us. [Facebook]
