Even though HTC had to create space by removing some customizations, wallpapers, and HTC applications, the official Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread has been released.
HTC will not push the update over the air and unlike most other Android phone Gingerbread Updates, this one will actually erase all of the data on your phone (SD card should be safe though). A full, verified backup of your data is desirable (pun only kind of intended) before you start the update.
The update is recommended for advanced users only and once you commit to Gingerbread, you can’t return back to Froyo.
If you still want to give Gingerbread a run on your Desire, hit the break for a nice how-to Video:
