Android 1.6 'Donut' Coming to Vodafone UK October 19th

T-Mobile US has already begun its rollout of the Android 1.6 'Donut' update to T-Mobile G1 and myTouch 3G users but what about the rest of the world? It looks like Vodafone UK customers will be able to enjoy their 'Donut' on October 19th because according to a Vodafone Forum Moderator, that's when Vodafone is going to start pushing out the update. Enjoy UK HTC Magic owners!

We still haven't heard official word from Rogers in Canada, so if any of our neighbors to the north hear anything 'Donut' related, be sure to let us know so we can pass it along!

Though it's very convenient to have Android OS updates pushed OTA to our handsets, we're wondering if a manual option would be more efficient. Instead of relying on carriers to decide when we can update, couldn't they offer users the option to download the update off their website? Makes sense to us. What about you guys?

Thanks Carl C for the tip!
