The funny thing is, if HTC never mentioned the DesireHD back in march when they released all the models that would get an update, no one would have cared because they knew the phone was two years old. It was a suprise HTC even mentioned it in the first place.
It would be nice if HTC gave people the option to update manually like they did for the original Desire. With that phone, you could not OTA update it to 2.3 but if you went to the htc developers website, you could download a program that updated the phone manually. FYI 2.3 on the original desire was pretty terrible, 40mb left to install apps was pretty much it.
However, i find it annoying that HTC says that the update made the HD run poorly. The phone is identical to the OneV besides from the camera, and if anything, the HD would run ICS better than the OneV because it has more RAM. In reality, HTC are being lazy (which is pretty common for them).

I wish phone companies would stop trying to pretend that this is down to hardware performance or compatibilty issues. If some bloke in his bedroom can get it working then there's no excuses for a corporate body backed by huge human and financial resources.
Even Apple are at it by apparently only giving 4s/iphone5 ios6 users turn by turn navigation instructions (among a few other things). Its not on relll imh

it is okay not to get the update, we've got froyo==>gingerbread update last time.
But they need to explain the reason behind it so we are not assume or compare only based on the spec alone (one V vs DHD etc..)
Please explain HTC, as long as it is clear explanation we are okay.

It's better to ask them why not make it works if they can with lower spec models. At least, I want support from someone I paid for, not from someone doing it for free(XDA).

In relation to the comments on the 2011 Xperia phones which got the ICS update, let me tell you that I own an Xperia Neo, and it's running smooth as butter. The trick is to disable Facebook, Twitter, and Live Wallpapers. I have around 70 apps installed, including a few hi fi games, and I experience no lag. And please do not install task managers.

I even had to downgrade manually to GB as i couldn't bear the chopiness on daily usage. So now, when a manufacturer says so, i tend to trust it. (i don't count on CM roms, i want 100% of my phone features working every day with its manufacturer's identity, not a generic one).
So Grow up a bit people, it's not because you nerds were aware of some ICS update for 1 phone which finally won't happen, that HTC will loose all its customers.
