The handset maker HTC has indicated that several HTC branded mobile phones will receive an Android 2.2 update before the end of this year. The announcement primarily covers HTC Android phones that became available this year including the HTC Desire, Droid Incredible, Evo 4G and the MyTouch slide.
The HTC promise also extends to new models that are still to come this year. A spokesperson for HTC was recently quoted as saying:
We are working closely with Google and our other partners to ensure we have the earliest access to everything we need to provide a complete and solid Sense experience on Froyo
Android 2.2 is said to come packaged with the world’s fastest mobile browser and will support USB tethering And WiFi hotspots.

I asked support when HTC Magic will be upgraded to Froyo.
Their answer is:
“Currently there is no plan to upgrade your phone. The result of our analysis showed that an upgrade to your phone may impact the user experience and we ultimately decided that an upgrade was not recommended.”
This is pure BS seeing that some MAgic owners ARE being upgraded.
