After months of waiting it seems HTC’s Desire customers will have to go on living without the Android Gingerbread update. HTC has finally admitted defeat and announced that the HTC Desire will continue to run Froyo indefinitely.

According to HTC UK’s Facebook page the HTC Desire simply doesn’t have the internal memory required to make Gingerbread and the Sense UI tango together without a loss of functionality.

If there are any Desire owners out there desperate to upgrade to Gingerbread there’s still always the option of using the leaked 2.3.3 ROM suggested by Engadget, but that’s probably your only option, sorry. It looks like the HTC Desire is going to be left out in the proverbial Froyo-induced cold.
