HTC explains decision to skip Android 4.0 for Desire HD: we'd rather not wipe your data



HTC damaged a few spirits when it dropped the Desire HD from its Android 4.0 upgrade list. The company might feel your pain, but it claims to have a good reason for denying the update that it's been doling out elsewhere. There's no way to shoehorn a new version into the device like there was for the Desire's leap to Android 2.3, the company says. Fitting all that Ice Cream Sandwich into the Desire HD would require repartitioning the internal space, and repartitioning risks overwriting personal content; needless to say, the company isn't keen on explaining why it might nuke our family photos just so we can run Chrome. Even if that weren't an issue, a nebulous set of "other technical limitations" might not rub upgraders the right way. All of the explanations add up, although it's nonetheless easy to sympathize with Desire HD owners now stuck in Gingerbread land and are void access to updating to the official android 4.0 updates.


So if you own a Desire HD what are your thought and feelings will you be rooting your phone or be avoiding htc in the future let us know your thoughts by leaving a comment below.
