Do you think Desire HD will support Android 3

---

Hi

As i see in my favorite forum, there are a lot of people interested to get the new HTC Desire HD

But Google has been announced about the now Android 3

So my friends
Do you think desire HD will support android 3

Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Yes.

Sent from my HTC Evo 4G using XDA app.

i think that yep, but we will need to wait to mach time to htc to make it fit (btw - have root, have recovery - so have fun alon)

Given HTC's history, they have supported some phones and completely ignored some others.

We can only hope.

I think we should at least see 1 android version update (i.ex: if not v.3, at least a minor version like 2.3).

HTC flagship devices ussualy have updates (like Desire for example) so it's logically that we will have next update (gingerbread) but after realese of the new Android we need to wait at least 2-3 months for HTC engineers to make it with Sensu UI for our HDH

AFAIK Gingerbread is due Q410 or Q111, and hardware specs at that point aren't going to be drastically different - maybe see some dual-core chips from Qualcomm - but I can't see Gingerbread requiring that somehow.

It may be that we need to overclock our Desire HDs to get the most out of it, but I'm sure some clever bods will be able to port it across. The joys of open source software!

Yeah of course the DHD will support Gingerbread. Im looking forward to it mostly because of the rumored GPU acceleration in the UI. This will give our phones iPhone-like smoothness in scrolling, zooming etc. To be honest i cant believe Google hasnt implemented this yet.

This is so wrong...

I rephrase that, "some HTC flagship devices usually have updates"
And from my experience I always miss those flagship devices...
From my experience, I got an Qtek (old HTC) S200 and a HTC Touch HD. Both were flagships at the time of release and never got big updates, like an important rom version change or a new manila version, only smaller and insignificant rom versions with small fixes.
Now HTC is improving but no matching to Apple for example.
Apple is releasing all the time small fixes and also adding some features and every year a big new version. This is what HTC should have been doing also

If it isn't officially released you can always hack new ROMs onto it

1. Yes, i agree, with my HD2 was the same story, but its all about WM models
2. Apple has only 1 phone = iPhone...Android has at least 6 diferent brands with at least 5-6 newer models...what gives at least 30 diferent mobiles. Well, thats sometimes too much work...and they just give up from some models :\
