BigHammer: You'll have to root the phone going the xda way. There is an official froyo release from HTC which would be much safer if you're only trying out the phone and don't own it.

Sorry, BH, I thought they'd have links to the official download/OTA  update..


Apologies to all! 

BigHammer: Any download via xda etc will unfortunately require root access.

marmel: I would definately recommend installing the latest build of gingerbread. I was hesitant at first but intalled it a few days ago and love it.

The ROM got rid of all the crap apps clogging up the internal memory and the phone seems to be running a bit quicker.

Definitely quicker and smaller. I also notice I have had no corrupt SD card errors like I used to get a lot when disconnecting from USB. Not properly corrupt but I would have to reboot to get the card to load.
Connecting to and from USB is now super quick also, especially disconnecting.

I mention issues with it in my Gingerbread thread, so I won't rehash them here. Only minor ones.
