Many HTC Desire users have been waiting for a long time to finally receive an update to gingerbread – it was promised ages ago and there was already a leak of a fully working rom leaked around 4 months ago – because of this many users were puzzled to find out the update was temporary canceled by HTC.

Only a week after their statement HTC just came out of the blue with the fact that they are allready testing the over the air gingerbread update. They have posted this on their facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/HTC). Certainly seems odd that after having many issues ‘trying to get gingerbread on the Desire’ they come out so soon saying they are testing. Guess they had something lying around for some time now .

Only time will tell if the HTC Desire gingerbread update will be upon us sooner rather then later – let’s hope for the former.

* HTC Desire was released April 2010 (15 months ago)
* Gingerbread was released to OEM on November 2010 (8 months ago)
