HTC Desire update: Gingerbread coming Q2

HTC has confirmed that a number of its legacy devices will be getting the latest version of Android.

The HTC Desire, Desire HD, Desire Z and Incredible S will all have the update shoved over before June, bringing a raft of improvements.

"We are excited to announce that the Desire HD, Desire Z, Desire and Incredible S will receive the Gingerbread update in Q2," HTC said in a statement.

Battery boost?

T-Mobile has also confirmed to TechRadar that it is working on bringing the update to its customers but, like Three, cannot give a timeframe for the update to deploy:

"HTC have confirmed that all handsets in the Desire range will be updated this year but no dates as yet for the branded release."

Android 2.3 (or Gingerbread) will bring a number of HTC Desire updates for the whole family - including improved processor speed and efficiency.

Crucially, this could mean an improvement to the HTC Desire battery situation - all members of the Desire family are quite poor when it comes to even lasting a day on a full charge.

The HTC Incredible S has only just had its UK launch, with the Taiwanese firm telling TechRadar it wanted the phone on the shelves as soon as possible as the reason for it coming with Android 2.2.
