We all very much doubt that. HTC aren't exactly the most punctual or timely in their updates.
Shame really, they make great phones but just set them aside and forget about them after two months.
I hop that we will get it thanks
My bet is September/October 2010 or never.

They may be planning to pull a Hero on us
I prefer to think that it will be never, so I will not be disapointed...
Anyway :
Community > HTC
So, no-need of HTC.

Fate of HERO is the worst nightmare we can imagine.
HTC has just recently launch a software upgrade to 1.21.405.2.
I highly doubt there will be another update to Froyo 2.2 in 3 weeks time. (23rd June according to the rumour)
Once the source for Froyo is out, there will surely be a better port of Froyo for the HTC Desire.
sad
sad that htc is the only one who can port fm radio to desire, i dont think this community will be able to port fm radio to froyo, cause froyo dont support fm radio hardware.

Froyo ports for Desire are getting better each day.
Sense UI will be gone but with new features of Froyo it's acceptable loss.

I was thiking like you but since i have ADW Launcher I don't miss Sense.
Anyway. Had my HTC Touch 3g (magic) on April 2009 with 1.5 and we had our 1.6 update on ¿Septembre? So I think that we will have to wiull till September or MAybe October to enjoy our officil froyo update. The 23th of June thing may be a joke or something. I'm quite sure that we won't have 2.2 before Nexus and we don't even know when, froyo in nexus, are gonna be officiallly launched.
I'm sorry, my English sucks.
I think when Flash 10.1 finally comes out of beta, we can expect the first Froyo updates to surface.
It's a key part of the new OS, I don't think the beta version could be part of the final shipped rom..

Flash is not part of FroYo.
This is how Google are planning to defragment Android. All that FroYo contains is support for Flash 10.1, it does not matter if Flash is still in Beta as technically it's only just a plugin for the OS as it is for Windows/Mac/Linux.
I am waiting Froyo Official HTC update too...

no need to be negative. keep opinions like that to yourself.
Engadget just released HTC's forthcoming plans for Froyo updates, and Froyo will not be appearing on the desire, due to non compatible hardware relating to the wifi. HTC have said if you want FroyO, burn your phone and prey, then it will reappear, magicly with Froyo, and a ice cream
Mods do the honours please and kill this thread. Or move it to the general, where it should have been posted in the first place

Oh yeah sorry you're right, this issue isn't discussed anywhere already
People should learn to use the search function. I haven't been on this particular forum for very long but it seems quite a lot of people just barge in here without paying ANY attention to how a forum should be used (in everyone's interest)
Called HTC today. Gentleman said that google has not released 2.2 to HTC yet for development so it definitely won't be released on 23rd (today). He said when they have it, there will be a schedule released on the front page of htc.com/www/
already got it. apparently

why say "delay"?
HTC didn't officially say that it will be released today, 23 June.
Just my 2 cents.

http://www.google.com/support/forum...488da0ef21660d1300048994d2e4bf4c&hl=en&hltp=1
Everyone can start complaining once the source is released, but until then, god quit blaming HTC. and yes I know HTC probably already has the source, and has probably already updated Senseui for it, but until Google finalizes it, HTC won't release an update.

I don't want to use words like other people about lack of google's informations about any release date, unprofessionnal support, htc support etc... I'm sure they would better hire some of you guys to help them! You are the one which are giving us what we need, not google nor htc. I'm sorry, but feeling like moving to another OS, being iOS or WM7... too disappointed, sorry.
The only people you should be disappointed in are the rumourmongerers who got you thinking that some official source had promised to get you FroYo on 23 June.

You're right jstegeman... Even by myself trusting and hoping these. But I had hope in Google as well and not having any fix release date look to me unprofessionnal... the term "shortly" used by them can mean days, weeks, months... Is it so difficult to say the release date will be the xx of xx year xx and keep that date?
Sorry but this might come from my Swiss habits, having the clock's at the right time, no improvisation, organization... I hate "not knowing" and am quite impatient lol

I dont know if this is true, but seems more reliable than words of a customer, lets hope for the best
zdnet is reliably.
and it ever was.
they will lost the good reputation, they worked for if this isnt true
and i dont think, they wanna risk it
This happens again and again and people believe this. Guys, first of all this is a stupid excuse from customer support.
Do you really think that Google lets HTC wait for release like the rest of us? They have been working on 2.2 from early stages too, they must if they want to release timely 2.2 devices.
Secondly, they would never ever release a froyo build before google.

Sorry Swissman,
but a new release of a OS is NOT a FIX as you defined it.
There have been fixes available on the air, and - afaik - no other os-manufacturer does release on-the-air fixes like Google does.
Moreover, you bought a mobile phone with a working os, and - always afaik - you cannot blame Google in being supposedly in delay for a new release of an OS.
What should you think then about Microsoft for Windows 7 or Apple for OS 4????? Not to talk about Meego or else.....
Please have a cup of tea and try and have a different opiniono about "unprofessionality"....

hey seanomccool, you just got a scoop (not)!
People with some common sense knows it since a few weeks: froyo isn't officially released yet on it's primary platform, so no way it could be released today on the desire! In fact, google just told that there's no ETA yet for froyo.
dont panic m8s,it will happend soon

before it was second half of 2010, now it has become Q3 and i think that the htc legend wasn't included in the last announcement. (but to start yet another froyo topic because of this, no thank you, please next time post it in one of the countless others you can find around)
Why all these new treads about Froyo? It comes when it comes..
Hi guys...today google should release android 2.3 gingerbread..i don't know what's your feelings..but i'm so excited. Can't wait to see and try some porting. Within the last months we tried lots of awesome roms..and maybe we should say goodbye. I hope that the same developers start to create something new based on gingerbread. What do you think? and what are you waiting for?
personally i love sense based roms..so cant wait for one of it!
we have some stable roms before christmas?
Haven't they been releasing it for the past 4 days?

What do you guys think? will there be a new UI? Hopefully it looks like the Kite UI Although i have been searching around i have not found anything on the actual gingerbread release, yet
I think gingerbread is 3.0 not 2.3
Any word about the integration in Gingerbread of that fancy virtual keyboard Google bought a few weeks ago?

Gingerbread is likely just to be an iteration of the OS, Honeycomb or (3.0) is likely to be the reworked candidate... What they have probably done is set the base ready for UI rework which will be completed by the next release.. That's my thought anyway. So yea, expect changes, but only tweaks, just like we got in 2.2.
Either way, it'll be well worth the upgrade!

Supposedly, google will announce this today @ web2.0 summit.
It starts at 2:30 in San Francisco which which -8 from UK time, so 10:30PM here.
Eric Scmidt (googler) is the first speaker @ 2:35 pm local time, until 3:10.
so if he announces anything, we'll know by 11:10 UK time.

isn't there anyone on the forum, who's like an inside man and have all the inside info.. J/k keeping my fingers crossed.
The only way we'll see Gingerbread announced is if they're bundling integrated web services in a big way which would make sense what with facebook making some big pushes with single sign in and now their mail services.
But I doubt it, it's on the ticket as a "conversation" with Eric Schmidt, someone will probably ask him a question on it and that'll be about it.
But then again, he could also have a full plate of gingerbread cookies for the whole summit!!!
We had a feeling Eric Schmidt would be doing something surprising at the Web 2.0 summit, and the man didn't disappoint -- he just showed off the Nexus S, and revealed it has NFC features, a technology he thinks will eventually replace credit cards. Unfortunately, he also called it an "unannounced phone" from an "announced manufacturer," and the logo was taped over, so we're not any closer to a release date here.

I do not think it will be 3.0 but 2.3. And it is out on some development devices. Saw a graph showing the web statistics regarding Android and it showed all the versions including 2.2, 2.3 and 3.0, means that 3.0 is in an early development process. I cannot remember where i saw it.. sorry. [Update] I added the image I was talking about, it is from areamobile.de/news/16924-android-gingerbread-und-honeycomb-bereits-im-testbetrieb.
Another thing is that Alvaro Fuentes, member of the Open Handset Alliance, wrote in his twitter post:

GingerBread is 2.3, Google's been releasing it only through their BIG MOUTH. Nothing out yet.

Well we will keep on waiting. Although there is a wait time till HTC releases an OTA.
heh, guess he did announce it there. Sort of anyway.
HTC Confirms 2.3 Desire Plans
Bit of a news flash here, sorry if it's in the wrong section but this is more of an anser to an un-asked question, y'get me?
Anyway, HTC confirmed yesterday that they WILL be updating the current Desire range upto 2.3. This includes the Desire, the Z and the HD. Hope this helps with the concerns that HTC were ditching the Desire for the Desire S.
For the rest of the information, check out this page.
The link goes to CNET
*It's likely that rather than being 2.3, the Desire will be getting 2.4, which is the latest release from Google. This is no different from 2.3 but contains some very minor bugfixes.
Nice! A bit long to wait though.
Thanks for the info!
wow thanx for the great news! made my day
i hope its worth waiting
when we will get it?

no problem, I was randomly searching the Internet for any articles that could shed any light on the current Desire situation we are all going through, and I just happened to find that neat post that was only put on there today. Alas the Desire lives on, I guess with it being so popular HTC decided to make it, however I'm not expert but from a Market view of things, I seriously doubt Honeycomb will be coming to the Desire range, as none boast dual processors and with the update coming so late, it would be a large Market downside for HTC, why develop Honeycomb for a device that's waited 6 months for a 2.4 update... Anyway I'm just glad that within my first few days of being at XDA that I have been able to help people with the Desire information, I know I only sourced it, but this stops a lot of peoples worries, and it looks promising that we WILL be getting the new sense time for a beer I think xD
We re starting to feel just like the Xperia X10 users and their updates it all goes according to HTC's plan. Nevertheless its good to know we'll be getting the new sense and and Android.

I think that the reaosn why it's taking so long really lies with Google. If they hadn't of had the 2.3 exclusivity with the Nexus S, then the chances are we would have our update much quicker. However HTC should be concentrating on Software just as much as new Products. Existing customers are just as important as potentially new Customers, and at the moment it looks like they are focusing their business on creating new products, and not updating the current ones. Not a good business plan at all.
with the way that our providers play about with it , as stated in the article it will be xmas before its out
I won't look forward to the update because waiting for updates ALWAYS dissappointed me in the past...

That's one of the benefits of De-branding. My HTC Desire came branded with the Orange software (which left me with 100MB of free space) I de-braded, updated to Froyo 2.2 and had something like 143MB of free space left, and whenever HTC release an update I immidiatley recieve it. My HTC has Orange logo's on it and everything, but it's de-branded.

It's not the 2.4 update we can't wait for, its the new Sense, well in my case it is anyway. 2.3/4 isn't a very good update? It's a few icons and support for some other Hardware, Honeycomb should be interesting.
