HTC Global issued an update via Twitter:
To resolve Desires memory issue and enable the upgrade to Gingerbread, we will cut select apps from the release.
Look for status updates starting next week. We apologize for any confusion.
It looks like memory limitation is indeed a serious issue for the Desire but its great to see that HTC is taking consumer feedback and giving users what they want. Also it looks like Desire users could have Gingerbread on their devices as early as next week
The take out from this is that HTC looks to be a very proactive company able to take in feedback and decisions quickly based on the feedback. They are really creating a lot of positive public perception for themselves with this exercise.

the lag you experienced last time is the OS's fault. WinMo sucked big time back then.
You'll definitely fine using Android pleasurable.

yea, all OS has problem, and you need to hack it yourself, you enjoy service your own car right? changing the oil and washing the car.
if you're using iphone, you're gonna bored to death, you can only wait for iOS5 comes out, and it will be automatic, damn, can you imagine it? automatic!!! how are you going to spend your time? even jailbreak is so easy!!! what can you do if you have an iphone? you dont need to hack your phone!! you dont have any past time already……
avoid iphone at all cost if you have no frens and families, android can keep yourself busy, root the rom, hack the phone, its so so fun!!

I remembered in the (not so) old days, when I had this HTC Touch Cruise with the stylus which ran on Windows Mobile. Really sluggish, and after using for an extended period of time, the phone would hang until the battery is removed. The only good thing to talk about is that I was using it for my GPS navigation (using the MapKing software). Stopped using Windows Mobile-based phone since then. Before that, I had an O2 Smartphone (which would lose all the memory if the battery runs dry). Same story.
Well, several phones later (which includes quite a number of Nokias and finally an Iphone 4), I came across one HTC used by this a friend, running on Windows Mobile. You know how it feels when you're familiar with iOS, you'll never want to switch to a different system anymore. And so I thought, hey, this HTC has improved so much since then. The interface is so much better than before. Seamless switching between applications. Clever interconnection ('don't know what's the IT term for it) between contacts and social networking sites, ie Facebook, etc. I kinda like it.
People like me, who don't always keep up with the ever-changing technology, would most likely stick to just one brand. If that brand betrays them (to put it crudely), there would probably never be a second chance. But, on this HTC case, since they really showed how they have changed compare to last time, I would probably give another shot… as my second phone.
