HTC announced in June 2010 that the HTC Wildfire was on their list of phones to receive the Android 2.2 "Froyo" update. The update to Android 2.2 includes support for USB
tethering, enhanced bluetooth support, multiple keyboard languages,
Wi-Fi hotspot tethering and more. However, live wallpapers and
Adobe Flash Player support in the browser will not be supported. A leaked build of Android 2.2 and 2.2.1 subsequently surfaced from China and Europe respectively, but with limited language support. It was modified and released by developers on the XDA Forums. In addition to this, several unofficial builds based on AOSP 2.2.1 and 2.3 have also surfaced on XDA. On the morning of 20 December 2010, the 2.2 update was released as a modified build of the
HTC Glacier's code. Many customers were surprised at the news, some previously so much as speculating that it would not appear, as the majority of Wildfire users had been waiting in anticipation for the update (heightened by limited news on the subject from HTC) since mid-2010. Customers with unlocked HTC Wildfires received the update first, followed by operator-locked users that received the update shortly after the original release. ==Key software availability==
