HTC has said that it will only support the new Sense for the NEW products. Thus, the original Desire owner will be shafted, as the rest of the HTC owners. You will have to go out and buy either the Z or HD, or whatever new products they launch. Very very bad move on HTC's part, it will piss of the whole community of current owners.
Source please?
I just got my Desire and I REALLY hope we'll get an update ;(

i can understand your frustration and i'm waiting for an official confirnation before having a rant but it does raise the question: have we come to expect too much from phone manufacturers?
i mean, why should we expect to get every new update? if we did, HTC would never sell another phone.
tell me, if you originally bought a PC running windows 98, would you expect to receive every software upgrade right up to windows 7 plus all the new innovations for free?
...It's a 2 week old Desire that came with 2.2 pre installed. So yes, I most definitely expect HTC to give me updates for at least a good while longer.
as you can see from the post above your last one, the Desire is around six months old. the fact that you only bought it two weeks ago has no bearing on the discussion.
my point is that, we all know HTC develop and release phones at an astonishing rate but peoples expectations are sometimes way too high.
yes, 2.2 was a logical step but i don't think that 3.0 will come to the Desire. maybe the Desire will be added to the HTCSense.com porfolio once the new models have settled down but then again, by the time that happens, there will be even newer models in the pipeline and the Desire will be even further behind.
when will people be satisfied?

LOL if you're referring to Bobby Kotick, he's one greedy f'er, and you forgot John Smedley.Then again, they might be being run by a Bobby Kockdick/Steve "B'lo" Jobs type and are so short-sighted that the only thing that matters to them is the short-term gains in the market! IF that is the case we are all screwed

These forums are worldwide, so for me being in Canada where the Desire wasn't released until August 6 2010, the phone is only a month old to some users here. I bought the HTC Legend a month before that back in July and it had only been out for a few weeks, so it's about 3 months old. I don't expect HTC to support it forever, but I expect HTC to supply firmware updates and bug fixes for at least a year directly and/or to carriers. The Desire is the best selling phone HTC has ever had, and that success translates into a lot of customers that will want some support from HTC in the form of updates.as you can see from the post above your last one, the Desire is around six months old. the fact that you only bought it two weeks ago has no bearing on the discussion.
I agree, but we should see Gingerbread which is v2.3(?) according to rumours, not 3.0 which will be tablet oriented. And that makes sense since version 3 will be a bigger code change to support the tablet concept. I think we can expect that 3.0 will be the Honeycomb version and we won't see that for obvious reasons.yes, 2.2 was a logical step but i don't think that 3.0 will come to the Desire.
I don't think we'll see this new UI as it's being developed for the latest models. It would be nice if they did, but I'm not keeping my hopes up.maybe the Desire will be added to the HTCSense.com porfolio

The analogy about Windows from someone wasn't quite right because it was a different version, so instead consider if Microsoft stopped offering Windows Updates to Windows 7 users a few months after it came out? People would be dragging Gates out of his mansion to slap him silly.
