The wait is almost over for the owners of the original Sensation, the Sensation XE and the Sensation XL. The Sensation and Sensation XE will get the ICS treatment by the end of March, while the XL update will follow shortly after.
There is more good news - HTC EVO 3D, Incredible S, Desire S and Desire HD updates are also in the works and will be released later this year.

Funny how HTC has now backtracked. They realised that some of their old phones also can run the ICS after they saw the CM ports. Shame on them. I will continue to use the Cyanogen Mod even after HTC releases their official ICS

 

[Sushubh]

well at least they are not going to offer ICS for the HTC Desire 😀

They are probably not convinced the porting done for the Desire 😀

someone needs to confirm this to me. did htc ever release gingerbread for desire?

 

[Sid]

Yes 🙂 (source: asked a developer > said it was official for few regions)

someone needs to confirm this to me. did htc ever release gingerbread for desire?

Yes they did. But it was labelled a developer release. Because of the low internal memory in the Desire, HTC couldnt provide a update with all bells and whistles. In fact they even the advised general public to 'not' update!

I never updated my Desire officially but learnt how to root on xda and then tried out many ROM's. Finally got tired of it and bought a HTC Sensation. Now waiting for official ICS!

Good move by HTC. good to see them not abandoning still decent phones like DHD.

Desire Z is missing 😛

 

[manu1991]

HTC Desire Z - Full phone specifications - SoC is qualcomm 7230, slightly inferior to the 8255 on Desire S/Incredible S and Desire HD. RAM is 512mb vs 768mb on all of these(maybe they need more RAM for their Sense UI). Processor is underclocked to 800 Mhz.

----------

doesn't matter for enterprising users I guess, just went through its xda section and there are loads of ICS roms available.

HTC ****ed up once again.
