Orange customers are probably surprised to see an update available for the HTC Tattoo when there’s talk about Android 2.1 Eclair and 2.2 Froyo rolling about just everywhere you turn. However, those sporting the HTC Tattoo are still probably bummed out with the knowledge that HTC officially came out to say that the handset would not be seeing an update for Android 2.1. So for those Orange customers filling up with a sense of hope with this announced update, there is little solace with it at the same time as it will erase any data stored on the handset – so that means you’ll have the duty of backing things up beforehand. Not only is the new update nothing related to Android 2.1, but the thought of it erasing all day easily puts a damper on the moods of most owners. Never say never though as we’ve seen hackers do the impossible on other handsets – so there’s always that distinct possibility of something happening down the road.
