HTC Desire Android 2.3 Gingerbread update might be gimped

Remember the hoo-ha surrounding the HTC Desire with its Android 2.3 Gingerbread update being pulled originally, only to be reinstated after much uproar from Desire owners online? Well, it seems as though the good times will not last long, since the latest developments point otherwise with HTC's Facebook page touting that they will leave out select applications from the HTC Desire so in the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update. The method behind this madness is the relatively limited amount of memory on the smartphone, which is why HTC has decided to cut corners.

Here's what HTC had to say about the whole situation on their Facebook page, “To resolve Desire's memory issue and enable the upgrade to Gingerbread, we will cut select apps from the release. Look for status updates starting next week. We apologize for any confusion.”

What kind of apps do you think that HTC will leave out, and will you be better off not upgrading to Android 2.3 Gingerbread by sticking to good old Froyo?
