HTC Desire Z will get Gingerbread by the end of June

06 May, 2011
At last, it's confirmed - the HTC Desire Z is going to receive some Gingerbread love, too. The premium Android slider with QWERTY keyboard was released in late 2010, but HTC show they haven't forgotten about it...

          the update might be late for some which is understandable, but for users who actually hold on to their phones for a year, year and a half or more.. waiting till end of june is not bad. Agreed, by june the next android OS will already have been announced/released but by then runnig the second most recent OS (gingerbread)on a phone thats not even year old is not bad at all. Actually its pretty darn GOOD. The phone was released in Nov 2010 and 7 month down the road it will be running gingerbread. For people who plan on getting most out of their money, this is nothing but good news.
          Also, think of it from the manufacturers perspective who assume people will actually hold on to their phone for year or more..

            Anonymous, 07 May 2011erm......how about this: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_de... morelmao The update is on but it depends where you are. I went to the link you posted and not everyone gets the update. I guess some carriers are still not done putting their crap on the update, right? That's Android for you folks!

              Maybe if you kept up to date you would see the update for desire hd is already out. HTC have the most reliable update policy out of all the android phones.

                  Great! Thank you very much, HTC. By the way, you suck. Now i regret the day when i bought my Desire Z and i can't wait to get the new Samsung Galaxy S2.

                      [deleted post]How about never? This is why I hate Android, you won't get any updates and tge update comes many months later after Google releases it. It's rediculous. Sad but it's true.

                        HTC have locked the phone so it very hard to root it now and most of us users do not have Gingerbread already on our Z. End of june is too late for me, especially with the fatal problems with ÅÄÖÆØ
                        My new Galaxy S2 will be in my hands within 2 weeks, and then Z will be dumped in the garbage.

                              I'm thinking about replacing my Galaxy S with this. It is relatively cheap and it features a QWERTY keyboard. The question I have though is how sturdy is the Z-hinge? Is it as fragile as some people proclaim it is and does it stand the test of time?
