Good news for owners of HTC’s very respectable QWERTY Android phone – the Desire Z is now getting its upgrade to Android 2.3. Many users over on the HTC Facebook page are reporting update Notifications, with Z owners in Finland and Holland now installing the update.
HTC has not yet made any official announcement regarding its launch, but this does tie in rather nicely with the news from earlier this week that it’d be launching very soon. Here’s confirmation:
As ever, it looks like this update is hitting unbranded, non-network versions of the phone first. Do let us know if you have a Desire Z and are receiving the Android 2.3 update. The excitement never wears off.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ July 26, 2011Yep, still waiting, Vodafone UK too. Makes you wonder… maybe they have to port the whole “driving on the left hand side of the road” thing for the GPS? Can’t find any other acceptable reason…

/ July 29, 2011If it’s anything like the banks maybe they have to manually convert it into morse code to be carried across the phone network….
