So those of you who are proud owners of the the HTC Desire are going to have wait a while for the latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread update after a HTC representative said the update won’t roll out until after the launch of the new Desire S.
A HTC representative confirmed that the phones would be upgrading to Gingerbread during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, but wouldn’t provide exact dates.
HTC’s man did say that the first Gingerbread update would be released within a month of the Desire S hitting the shop, but then he flip-flopped and changed his mind and said it would probably occur within two months. Confused ? We are.
The HTC Desire S will launch in the summer, sometime around May or June, the best-case scenario, therefore, is that older phones in the Desire range could receive an update by June. That means you’ll have Gingerbread goodness with your ice cream in the summer.
If the Desire S launches in late May or June, and the update takes two months, then it could be August or September before it’s available for the older Desires.
Depending on the networks and the time that lapses between updates for the different phones, the nights could be drawing in before Desire owners get the update. Which to use seem like a very time
So there you have it straight from the horses mouth and this comes after Google wanted a less fragmentation and quicker updating of all Android running handsets. This seems to be a pipe dream at the moment.
What do you think of the lag when it comes to getting Android updates ?

I hate HTC. Wish I’d got a Nexus, but it wasn’t available at the time I bought my Desire.
