HTC Desire will not be updated to Gingerbread

Bad news HTC Desire owners, HTC has just announced it won’t update the original Desire with Android 2.3 Gingerbread due to insufficient memory. You are now stuck with Froyo forever. Ok, this forever thing...

    I am running GB Leedroid 2.3.3 on my Desire. It has Sense and it works OK. Shame on HTC for the BS! Don't buy new phones, just root old ones and upgrade. Desire is identical to Nexus One, so whatever runs there should also run on Desire.

          chrisp, 14 Jun 2011x10 is still an inferior handset even with newest updates.Dont lie to yourself, the ONLY advantage the Desire EVER HAD over the X10 was latest updates, it has now lost that and ON TOP OF THAT it has inferior battery life, inferior camera, inferior display (X10 had better quality display thats larger and better sunlight legibility), less internal mem, inferior sound quality, inferior design, inferior RF etc...we can keep going, but end of the day X10 is better especialy with 2.3. Get over it bud.

                                    Now HTC is making me feel guilty of selling this phone to others claiming it can upgrade to 2.3 as it originally planned.
