Google engineers at work on Android not idle, and regularly change the free mobile OS, so the first devices to ship version 1.6 of Android landed at SFR. An Android version called "Donut" found on the HTC including Magic and is currently deployed by SFR. The operation is very convenient because the owners of the terminal need only wait for the SFR inviting them to update their phones to make free and easy, as Android 1.6. An update ending October 29 next.

Inevitably, users of Samsung Galaxy, the other mobile Android marketed under SFR, wonder when they will themselves become entitled to this update. This should clearly not early, but did not wish SFR announce a specific date.
