Over the past week there has been some interesting Android news from Telus, and we’ve collected it all in one place, just for you. HTC Desire Android 2.2 (Froyo) update available now Telus has announced that the 2.2 Froyo update for the HTC Desire is being pushed out today through an OTA (over the air) update. This is after a couple of false starts last week, when the update was released as a download online, then quickly pulled. Even without the update, the Desire is already in our opinion one…

It’s been a LONG time coming, but Rogers has finally made the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate available. Originally announced back when Sammy made the big Galaxy marketing push in August, it’s taken quite some time for the Captivate to hit Big Red. The Captivate ships with Android 2.1, but will get an update to 2.2 Froyo sometime between November and ‘early 2011’.

While I was already pretty excited about the Galaxy S by the day of the concert, having already got to use one for a few days by then, the Rogers news was even better.

Thankfully there’s a fenced off VIP area that I have press access to, so in the end I manage to get some great pictures of the…
