HTC has confirmed that it will not be able to offer a Gingerbread (Android 2.3) update for the HTC Desire.



From Techradar:

The manufacturer had hoped to offer the update to the Desire, promising a release by the end of June, but HTC now says that it can't be done. A post on HTC's UK Facebook page explains that there isn't enough memory for both HTC Sense and Gingerbread to co-exist: "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.

  No Android 2.3 update for HTC Desire
