HTC Droid Eris to be Froyo-less

By Edwin Kee on 09/17/2010 09:39 PDT

Owners of the HTC Droid Eris from Verizon Wireless will be disappointed when they hear of this news – it will not see the Android 2.2 Froyo update anytime in the near future, or ever. While it might be hard to take, it isn’t too surprising either since Verizon has already stopped selling the HTC Droid Eris since June this year. Of course, this doesn’t mean that all hope is lost, as most probably some enterprising brains at XDA-Developers as well as other online modding communities will be able to deliver a custom version of the Android 2.2 Froyo update. Guess it is best to get something newer if you’re looking for a pre-loved Android smartphone, eh?

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
