HTC Desire Android 2.3 update to launch “end of July”

HTC has issued another short statement regarding the off/on Android 2.3 update for its popular HTC Desire phone, with the company now saying the Desire version of the Gingerbread upgrade will “begin” to launch before the end of July. Which is at least something. Here's the full, rather brief, statement:

Hi everyone. We have more news about our build of Gingerbread for Desire. Our testing has gone well so we will begin rolling out the update by the end of July! Thank you again for your support!

But remember, always take update timeline announcements with a pinch of salt. The poor old HTC Desire Z was supposed to have been updated by now…

Still no actual news about what the update will consist of and if/how much of HTC Sense will be appearing, with HTC previously saying that a few features would be chopped to help if fit in the phone's memory. But at least we'll know in a couple of weeks.
