HTC Desire 2.3 Update or Not?

HTC released a note on their facebook page indicating that the long awaited Gingerbread update for HTC Desire would not be coming. The HTC Desire was a huge success for them and came as a shock when I read the note they left.

“Our engineering teams have been working hard for the past few months to find a way to bring Gingerbread to the HTC Desire without compromising the HTC Sense experience you’ve come to expect from our phones. However, we’re sorry to announce that we’ve been forced to accept there isn’t enough memory to allow us both to bring Gingerbread and keep the HTC Sense experience on the HTC Desire. We’re sincerely sorry for the disappointment that this news may bring to some of you”

In less then 24 hours later they released the following statement.

“Contrary to what we said earlier, we are going to bring Gingerbread to HTC Desire”

Perhaps someone jumped the gun when it came to updating their facebook page?
