did you get gingerbread update for HTC Desire ?

i think HTC said in July we will receive this update

There's lots of threads on this, but there was no ota update due to internal memory issues I believe. You can update to 2.3 on the HTC site, it's listed as "for developers" but I did it, with seemingly no problems

The 2.3 update only comes as a RUU (Rom Update Utility) you need to download it and then connect your phone to your pc and run the RUU.

This will wipe your internal memory so be sure to perform a backup first.

You can get the download here,

Apparently desire users arent getting 2.3 according to here, it is a few months old so htc could have changed they're stance.

Are you serious? Why? I mean, I'm aware that Gingerbread will make it a bit faster and increase battery life but if this is your only reason to change your Desire to something else, then you should just root.

You know my friend in IT there is an old saying: "NTRS = Never Touch a Running System" ! It's the same with the phone you own ... Is it working satisfactory to your needs ? Then why change ? Only because it's "cool " ? Come on, be reasonable ! Or maybe you'r a girl that want to have the dress colour matched to the phone's case colour ! I say that technology and devices are just tools that enable us to have access to some SERVICES and FUNCTIONALITIES ! So customer satisfaction in obtaining these services is No 1 goal ! It doesn't matter what brand is your phone or computer or other device as long as YOU are satisfied with the service provided. So if you want to change a device (phone included...) change it because you're unhappy with it's performance and/or reliability and not because it's old (or not the latest model...) ! And I also recommend to upgrade to the official HTC Gingerbread upgrade. It will bring to you: better performance, faster boot time, better battery lifetime, etc.

I was also wondering about Gingerbread so did a bit of Googling and found out you had to download it. However when I click on "download" on the HTC developer site, instead of actually downloading the RUU it just redirects to the HTC home page! Anyone else having this trouble?

Never a true word spoken all people are doing is making these people in HTC ,Apple, etc richer quicker they will always be tweaking new phones there as to reach a point where they CANNOT add anything more to the Mobile phone
