Same here, no problems at all.

Finally got the update. Had to make sure 3G was switched on as well as WiFi before it showed up as being available.

Since I rooted the phone I had to jump through some hoops before ClockwordMod Recovery was able to see the 1.22 update and install it - rename the downloaded file from Orange as update.zip and manually install it. On a reboot the 2.2 update was downloaded and is currently installing.

Edit: All worked perfectly, happy days.

Not sure how easy it is to do, but you have 2 choices.

1. Root it (As clippy has tried) and hope for the best.

2. Call up Orange and ask for an unlock key for a fee. Orange may be able to advise you how to obtain HTC version of the update, but I haven't tried it.

I unlocked it, rooted etc. The various 2.2 ROMs I tried were all flaky in some way so I gave up and reverted to the stock ROM. Not difficult to do and everything can be backed up.
