Gingerbread Update Winging Its Way to HTC Desire Phones on Three

Good news for HTC Desire users here in the UK, if you’re on the Three network, you are soon to receive the latest Android update.

Three tweeted the news today, confirming that their HTC Desire customer will be treated to an update to Gingerbread 2.3 very soon. How soon isn’t quite clear yet, as the numerical network failed to provide any dates for us to look forward to, however, they are expected to release a timescale shortly.

Although new HTC handsets like the HTC Desire S are to be released with Android 2.3 installed, it is unclear as to whether all the HTC handsets will get a Gingerbread update. If rumours are to be believed though, the HTC Desire Z and HD will also be getting a Gingerbread makeover.

There has also been speculation that customers on networks other than Three could soon be getting an Android 2.3 update, with further Desire update announcements expected from other carriers soon.
