I feel sorry for HTC users! They've had to wait sooooooo long to get ICS......and even now they're not sure when their phone will get the update!!!
My Nexus S is running ICS since December!! Haha!! That's why you buy a Google phone!!

      Mike, 14 Mar 2012To all those posting "Y U NO UPDAT MA FONE", take... moreI agree, you really hit the nail on the head here.

      Phone such as mine (Desire S) can just about handle the last update, and I have a feeling it wont run ICS so well, thats the reason lower ranged phones cant be updated.

      People are expecting the next evolution of android on all devices past and present, however they must be in this case be willing to move to the next evolution of device. As software improves so must your hardware it is as simple as that.

          Mike, 14 Mar 2012To all those posting "Y U NO UPDAT MA FONE", take... moreCouldnt have been said any better.

          I'll also add that I received an email from HTC after enquiring about the Sensation update and they said "the update is currently being rolled out but their server can only handle 30,000 updates per day".

          Im no rocket scientist but I'm guessing theres more than 30,000 HTC users in the world so we should just be patient and know that if they listed our phones as compatible, then we will get the update.

            To all those posting "Y U NO UPDAT MA FONE", take a good honest look at your handset. The Desire S was based of the HTC Desire which didn't even recieve on official 2.3 update. It's got outdated hardware and will likely crash and burn under the stresses of ICS. Think of iOS 5.1 on iPhone 3GS - laggy and generally unusable.

            The HTC Wildfire S is an entry level handset, if you want forward compatibility you need at LEAST a mid-range handset like the Desire S.

            If it's going to be an issue, go flash with an ICS ROM and see how your phone handles it. Or just use a custom launch to make it look like ICS.

            Seriously, HTC update all devices that will IMPROVE the user experience with new software, not degrade it.
