Slashgear has reported that HTC’s current and older line up of Desires will be receiving Android 2.3 Gingerbread update which includes the original HTC Desire, HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z. The news was confirmed by a HTC spokesperson and it will be rolled out in Q2 this year. Another model, Incredible S which was launched recently with Froyo is also receiving the Gingerbread update about the same time.
Earlier on, there was teaser from Three UK that HTC Desire but this latest updates confirms it further. So far HTC seems to be the most progressive Android manufacturer in terms of software updates as they were among the first to announce Froyo updates for its older models and now the Gingerbread. Hopefully the rest of the Android players will follow suit.

HTC Desire to get Gingerbread update?

While HTC has the new Desire S which replaces the original Desire, it looks like HTC isn’t abandoning its older models just yet.
Three UK has just tweeted to acknowledge that there will be an Android 2.3 update for the original HTC Desire but no timelines are available. If this is true, it will be great news for HTC Desire users making it the 2nd major OS update since its launch early last year with Android 2.1 eclair. It later received its Android 2.2 Froyo update in August.
So far that’s the only lead from a telco and we hope to see some confirmation directly from HTC’s mouth soon.

For the new product update, it is funny HTC decided to add “S” behind the model names which sounds similar to its Korean rival Samsung.
Naming aside, let’s see what has HTC improve and let’s see if the latest Desire and Wildfire has what it takes to continue the momentum generated last year.

HTC Malaysia has announced that the anticipated HTC Desire HD and Desire Z will be launched this Thursday 25th November. There’s no pricing mentioned but we have a feeling that it should be priced around the original HTC Desire, about RM2300 for the Z and RM2600 for the HD.
We don’t expect to see any bundling by any telco at the moment especially when there isn’t any registration of interest activity. However, we won’t be surprised if DiGi came to the party with some bundling offers. We’ll find out more on launch day.
To get to know these 2 devices better, check our device overview post on the HTC Desire HD and Desire Z.

VIDEO: HTC Desire HD — A closer look

Now that you know that the HTC Desire HD and Desire Z will be coming to Malaysia before the end of this year, you would probably want to know more about the device.
Here’s an official video showcasing the features of the HTC Desire HD along with the new Sense UI and features on the new HTCSense.com cloud computing service.
There’s a lot to like about the Desire HD, like the 4.3in SLCD screen and the latest 1GHz Qualcomm 8255 Snapdragon processor with a dedicated Adreno 205 GPU capable of processing 41 million polygons/sec. There’s also a whopping 768MB of RAM to juggle multiple apps in the OS with.
With Dolby Mobile and SRS virtual sound built-in there’s no denying that the Desire HD is designed to be a media device but we find the omission of HDMI perplexing. Seeing how well executed HDMI out is on the N8, the Desire HD will find it difficult to match Nokia’s performance when it comes to outputting awesome audio and video on the big screen. And also, there’s only 1.5GB of on board storage, if you’re going to be totting lots of media content around, you’ll need more than that. Yes, there’s a MicroSD expansion slot but we’d like at least 8GB on board memory.
HTC is banking on DLNA wireless connectivity to make up for the lack of HDMI, we have our reservations with DLNA having tried it on the Samsung Wave but we’ll save our final judgment when we get review unit of the Desire HD.
Till then, enjoy the video after the jump.
HTC Desire Z and Desire HD coming to Malaysia

We’ve got the official word from HTC PR. HTC’s dynamic Android duo, the Desire Z and Desire HD will be coming to Malaysia.
Though HTC can’t confirm a date but we could be looking at a late October or early November launch. And sorry, no price details have been given at the moment.
So let’s see, iPhone 4, BlackBerry Torch, Nokia N8 all coming around the same time — that is late September, early October — and now we have these two powerhouse devices coming roughly a month after that. The smartphone buyer will have a lot to think about when making the purchase a new device. Should you grab on to the early releases or should you wait for all the devices from all the manufacturers to be released?
We’ve said it once, we’ll say it again. The final quarter of 2010 will be a very exciting time indeed.
