Not my first but surely Desire is my last HTC made phone.
No wonder Google choosed Samsung for their next Nexus.
If anybody from HTC reads this, ask for help from XDA...

As per my understanding there isn't any notable differences between Froyo and Gingerbread. So this is not going to be a bad news. But if HTC treat their customers like this, they will start losing them. Their intention is clear that is they want every one to discard the old phones and go for the new ones. But after buying a phone paying high price and then discarding them after a few months once the new product is available is not a digesting fact. Thanks to the custom ROMs, atleast we need not depend on the phone manufactures to enjoy the full benefit of our phone.

Used to be an HTC fanboy. That announcement is a disgrace for HTC. I owned 4 HTC smartphones. Never again. Only Smasung or LG in the future.

Do they really think we are going to buy HTC again? Nooooo, we are going to turn to more reliable brands like Apple, Google, Samsung. I just bought desire because I thought we are going to get the update. HTC, you just became one of these companies who they promise one thing, and they don't deliver and lie at the same time.
I am so disappointed.

What a bunch of losers at HTC, how far can you drop as a failing softwareengineering department and especially failing with such corporate management from a so called high technology company, to decide for no update.
Really, not being able to update software?
HTC means 'High Tech computer Company', not anymore now!
This is less then LOW TECH, this is NO TECH at all, and losing in competition with the others.
This will hurt HTC's business definitly. This is the worst advertising for any company.
This means HTC marketed the Desire as a super smartphone in 2010, updateted the software after 3 months and then no updates, services and support anymore. Basicly there telling us, thanks for the money and now go fuck your selfs.
Guess what, this was the last time I bought a phone from HTC.
