HTC UK says no to Gingerbread update for HTC Desire

The Android 2.3 Gingerbread has yet to arrive on the slew of Android devices out there, although we can’t help but hold HTC to their word as they did mention in passing about a Gingerberad update being introduced to their range of existing handsets at MWC in February, with the entire lineup of Desire smartphones being part of them. It seems as though HTC will be performing a U-turn as they will no longer offer Android 2.3 Gingerbread for the original Desire.

As you can see in the image above that was taken off from the HTC UK Facebook page, they posted “Our engineering teams have been working hard for the past few months to find a way to bring Gingerbread to the HTC Desire without compromising the HTC Sense experience you’ve come to expect from our phones. However, we’re sorry to announce that we’ve been forced to accept there isn’t enough memory to allow us both to bring Gingerbread and keep the HTC Sense experience on the HTC Desire.”

Well, that’s just too bad for original HTC Desire owners – does this mean it is about time you made the jump to a more updated handset?
