It depends on the phone but for G1 and Magic (T-mobile and Vodafone) you receive updates automatically off the air (OTA). The ADP1 (and if it comes out, the ADP2) upgrade manually by copying a file to sdcard. (The files appear on HTC's web site, or you can use community versions such as JF's - jf.andblogs.net.) The final option is that one provider evidently used a desktop application to do the same thing, but I don't know the details.
