HTC in a fresh Facebook statement said that it would have to make compromises to fit the Desire’s upgrade to Android 2.3. Memory was still a problem and would push the company to “cut select apps” to make it fit. The phone builder didn’t say which but implied it would be pruning some of the less vital HTC Sense apps rather than anything from Google.
The company had initially said it wouldn’t upgrade at all as it claimed it couldn’t fit both HTC Sense and Android 2.3 on the Desire at the same time. A public outcry led it to eventually change its mind.
