HTC's new entry level phone, Explorer will have 384 Mb of RAM.
It is coming with Sense 3.5, which could be higher in version number yet weaker in features, but if not so, memory may not be an issue.
There are ports, well, ROMs with sense 3.0 and the phone copes with it quite well.
Not the smoothest, but what the heck.
Noone knows if HTC will give a damn about bringing Sense 3.0 to DZ.
HTC Turkey mentioned a few weeks ago that desire z will receive a sense 3.0 update with android 2.3.5
Here is a list of mentioned phones from htc turkey:
1. Incredible S
2. Desire S
3. Wildfire S
4. Desire HD
5. Desire Z
It is pretty safe that this phones will get a sense 3.0 with android 2.3.5 update soon.
In its official blog, HTC removed from the list of applicants for renewal Desire Z.
Technically Desire Z is capable of supporting Android 4.x easily.
The problem may occur only with the support of corporate interface Sense.
I use a custom ROM with Sense 3.5. Sense 3.5 uses about 70 Mb of RAM. (For comparison, Sehse 2.x uses about 30Mb).
In Memory of Desire Z is not enough to support multi-tasking with Sense 3.5. Solves the problem swap only.
But HTC promised to have declared, and update their devices during the time. This time has not expired for Desire Z. To fulfill its promise of support, HTC would have to develop a special version of Sense for Desire Z. It seems that now they decide that it would cost them less: development Update for Desire Z or the promise of non-support.

Good news for all Desire Z owners.
In the last weeks it got still about a sense 3.0 update.
On a question regarding a sense 3.0 update you got everytime the same answer, that they didn't know anything.
today that changed completely.
HTC DACH indirectly announced that something will come to the desire z.
On a question regarding the Sense 3.0 Update for the Desire Z they said:
"Noch ein wenig Geduld bitte. Ich glaube das lohnt sich, ohne zu viel verraten zu wollen "
That means in english:
"A little more patience please. I think it's worth it. Without revealing to much "
I think a update is now very likely.
Maybe even a Sense 3.5 Update.
Lets wait and see
