The HTC EVO 4G has been out for just a couple of months and already it will be receiving an over-the-air update to Android 2.2 (codename Froyo) according to this PC World article. We checked in with Sprint's community board to get more details. According to the site, the roll out will start going to phones on August 1st in waves. Sprint customers should start receiving alerts on August 2nd with instructions on how to download the app over-the-air directly to the HTC EVO 4G.

The updated OS is expected to include the ability to voice dial over Bluetooth, the ability to store apps on a microSD card, an improved web browser experience with a faster JavaScript Engine and support for Flash 10x, and more. Before installing the update you may want to backup your data, although the update shouldn't affect existing data; it's also just a good idea to have a backup of all the stuff on your cell phone. Also, you'll likely want to install the update over the WiFi network and keep the HTC EVO 4G plugged in during the process.

We're looking forward to the update and will have more on how it enhances the EVO 4G once we receive and install it on our test phone.
