A week ago we told you on this same page that the Taiwanese HTC "steps on the gas" to update what was its most popular mobile last year, the HTC Desire. And is that after getting into a small garden, the guys from the multinational ended up clarifying that that successful terminal will be updated to Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the latest version of the operating system for smart phones developed by Google.
After we told you that the relevant tests were being carried out since the beginning of the month to check how Gingerbread works in the HTC Desire, from Unwired View they confirm that throughout this month the sounded update will begin to be released, which will go reaching the devices in a staggered manner depending on whether it is a terminal released or submitted to the firmware of some operator. Also, you know, the system update will run via OTA (over-the-air update).
The controversy over updating the HTC Desire to Gingerbread began when the manufacturer acknowledged on its Facebook profile that it would not update the terminal to that version of Android, claiming that the mobile lacked sufficient resources to be able to perform as it should with that edition of the platform.
But some were slow to backpedal from HTC, and in less than 24 hours corrected the statement saying that yes that would update the system before the barrage of critical that rained down from owners of a HTC Desire who might have become obsolete.
And in fact, the reviews were not without arguments: the HTC Desire offers greater power than the new mid-range phones of the firm, the HTC Salsa and HTC ChaChaCha, which, however, go on sale with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. and HTC Sense 3.0 (HTC's new super-convenient custom interface for Android) as standard.
