It’s not everyday you see a brand admit to being wrong. HTC UK’s official Facebook page did an about face on their earlier statement and are now saying that the Gingerbread update is indeed coming to the HTC Desire.
Earlier HTC UK claimed that there is simply not enough memory in the Desire produce a smooth user experience with the Gingerbread and HTC’s latest version of Sense UI put together. We find this a bit odd as the 1GHz processor and 576MB of RAM should be enough for Gingerbread and Sense UI to run fine.
Now apparently HTC is able to cook something up.
The very short Facebook update only affirms that the Desire will be getting a Gingerbread update but no timeline or other details are made available, so it could be tomorrow or it could be next year.

Thanks to commenter Lolness and Twitterer @chiamck for the tip.

yes, not many big companies will admit to their mistakes. but one have to also be careful not to make too many big blunders. for htc, this is the 2nd in the past few weeks — the 1st being the encrypted bootloader thingy.

of cos they admit their mistake, because they still hope you will upgrade to their HTC Sensation.
with so many screen sizes, so many different specs, so many different models, you have to wait….lol.
or….go get from some fruit company, they pay a lot of attention to their product, and they only make 1 a year, state of the art.

so sorry and pity to the fruit fans……they have to force themself to laugh at the Android user but in fact they are so jealous and admire which the Android user have freedom to choose which model. brand and so on they wanted to.
Where the fruit fan just like the pet of Steve Job, when Steve shout to them : Stand ! They have to stand, when Steve say Sit ! Tthey have to sit……alamak, poor thing….
