Yesterday we reported that the HTC Desire would not be getting a Gingerbread update. The information came from HTC UK’s own Facebook page and sparked a flurry of tech blog activity worldwide.

The result? HTC Desire owners banded together and demanded that HTC try harder to keep the phone that was voted best phone of 2010 up-do-date.

As of today HTC UK has done a complete backflip, now stating that they will, in fact, bring Gingerbread to the HTC Desire.

How they plan on getting around the apparent problem of too little RAM to efficiently run the Gingerbread update is still up in the air. But Desire owners can now rest assured that HTC hasn’t given up on them yet; they just lost steam for a little while.
