O2 to get Android 2.2 for Galaxy S next week

O2 is to receive the long awaited Android 2.2 update for the Samsung Galaxy S on 15 November, according to internet reports.

The network is yet to inform customers of when it will be rolling out the update, aka Froyo, to its customers with the O2 variant of the smartphone.

Android Central says the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro Android 2.1 updates are all also due to land at O2 on Monday as well.

Samsung and Sony Ericsson started to release updates for the smartphones earlier this month, with unlocked versions of the Galaxy S and Xperia X10 series receiving them first.

O2 had been pencilled in to be the first network to get them.

Samsung Galaxy S customers on O2 will be amongst the first to enjoy better multitasking, wireless support and filesharing and Adobe Flash 10.1, all features enabled by Android 2.2.

The Android 2.1 update means Xperia X10 owners will be able to enjoy HD video recording with continuous auto-focus, a new back-up and restore app, five homescreens and phonebook that syncs with Facebook.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini and Xperia X10 Mini Pro customers will get better Bluetooth support, improvements on how their phone handles text messages, the back-up and restore app and the option to sync their phonebook with Facebook.
