Well, it's software running on Android 2.2 so it should do, let's just hope HTC decide to share the love and not keep it on the Desire HD & Z
They may not offer it because of screen size differences making the text smaller on Desires, but since the resolution is the same and it's not a huge difference in size, I don't see why not. Perhaps in the next HTC update.
But the Z's screen is the same size as the Desire's so if it will run on that screen, there's no reason it won't run on the Desire.
Oh I missed the Z in the above, so yes it should work.

I just hope that the new Sense features won't slow the Desire down like iOS4 did to my iPod Touch.
It would add a little overhead, but I can't see it slowing it down much and certainly not enough to worry about, especially with the 2x faster speed thanks to Froyo.
Desire Z = QVGA screen, 800MHz Qualcomm chip
Isn't that slightly lower spec than the Desire?
Yes, the Desire has a faster chip running at 1000MHz (1GHz), yet both are Snapdragon chipsets.

Desire = WVGA, 1Ghz snapdragon (is the qualcomm the make or the processor name?)
Qualcomm is the designer and manufacturer of the chipset. Snapdragon is the name of the chipset used in the Qualcomm configuration, and Scorpion is the name of the processor.

Desire Z is only 800 Mgz but dont forget it is the newer gen more optimized Snapdragon. It would probably perform the same as current snapdragons and run more power efficient thanks to it being 45nm. In my mind this is an improvement over current snapdragons.
but what about the new snapdragon shipping in the Desire HD? how does that one fare against the snapdragon in the Desire Z?
as great as the Z looks, the HD still nips it for me with the bigger screen and higher resolution camera.. i like to take pictures with my phone.. the slide out keyboard looks brilliant though... i want the new desire's lol..
who wants to buy my desire?
on a serious note, how long until we get htcsense.com incorporated into rooted phones if at all?

well about the Desire HD's processor. It is pretty much the same generation as the Desire Z, but clocked at 1 Ghz rather than 800 mgz. So it has the new Adreno 205 gpu. Expect this to be a beast
At the heart is HTCSense.com, a series of dashboard-connected services for backup, security, and control of your HTC handset. A new locate feature triggers the handset to ring loudly (even when set to silent) while flagging its location on an online map. If the phone was lost or stolen, owners can remote lock and/or wipe the phone. Backups will automatically archive your contacts, text messages, call history, customizations and data.
Now I'm really torn, I like the Desire HD and the Z, but I was looking at moving to the Motorola Defy as I wanted something a little more robust. Choices choices.
i think one of the best feature from here is the ability to store maps on SD card so if anyone travels abroad could use it without any roaming data charges. just really wonder how it would be implemented and who would supply maps or just would store it as a region or country? hmm.. sounds really interesting
The only thing I miss from my current Desire is Quad Band 3G. I don't understand why HTC don't make a version that supports all frequencies for worldwide use.
Device(s): HTC Desire, LG Shine Plus, LG Optimus One

Wow, I don't suggest the Defy or any other Motoblur devices.
does anyone know if this will work with the desire?
I think the question wasn't about the new sense overlay to come to Desire (though I certainly hope it will), but would Desire users be able to use HTCSense.com cloud service?
Anyone in the know, plz... (I'm considering dearly to get Desire instead of these new products)
Anyway, this is perfectly makes sense of what HTC would do, how else would they fight the Apple giant AND gain tremendeous fanboy-ism loyalty?
By making their cloud service to be free would ensure most of their current users to loyally join in their next product line whenever it arrives.
With the ease of use to sync contacts from this phone to the next one, that alone would have convinced most to stay with the brand.
I'd imagined Steve Jobs would be pissed and add another clause to their patent breach law process. (their same service -MobileMe- is a paid service)
IMO htcsense.com just highlights what Google should be doing with stock Android but isn't. It would be so much more streamlined and convenient if these extra cloud services were simply a part of the existing Google cloud service we already enjoy, and would also ensure older devices get the same treatment. Something for Gingerbread perhaps?
New sense will come in a near future upgrade to complete the full Desire range placement
Thanks for this...but...
I'm sorry to ask this, but I'd like to understand and be certain - are you saying that the upgrades to HTC Sense will be become available in the near future to standard HTC Desire owners (not Z, not HD - just a plain 'old' Desire!!)?
Do you know when, and do you know for sure?
These updates - FroYo, new HTC Sense, etc - it feels like an upgrade every time it happens - I love it! And I love my Desire..!!! (a bit sad I know...)
well it is when the Desire is a third option; if you don't want a keyboard or a large screen then the existing Desire is the one for you.
If htc opt NOT to update our version of Sense then they've effectively written it off. It makes much more sense to have all three Desire phones running 2.2 and the new version of Sense UI
The ONLY issue I see is that in order to store maps you'll need an SD card, whereas the two new Desire variants have on board memory.
You have to log on to the website, I guess that getting a log on is part of the set up process on the new phones? We won't get access until HTC update our version of Sense (and we don't know for sure that's happening)
The HTC Desire is one of the latest high end phone by HTC bringing a huge 3.7" inch high quality AMOLED screen for crystal clear viewing, powered by a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and runs on, you guessed it, Android.
