i also emailed the customer care in India. the reply was same as they want to give best experience to their customers with best software and hardware configuration. to add salt to my injuries,the customer care said that i phone desire s belongs to Hongkong. SO advised me to consult the hongkong customer care. what a rubbish.

i too contacted htc via chat and email. the email agent didnt seem to know anything about it. the chat agent seems to be washing his hands claiming htc have not yet made an official statement about the update. it seems like they are fooling all of us doing and saying different things. i also think that htc doesnt do their own customer service/technical support. the answers were too call center-like. seems the the call center is doing the support and htc seems like they do not support the call center itself.

Anonymous, 07 Dec 2011HTC desire s or experia ray which is better.I'm considering between these two too.. I think the Ray is probably slightly better on paper and here (in the UK) it's also slightly cheaper - I like the smaller size!

For the Desire S I think the screen's glass might be a bit better, I like that it has smart dialing (not sure why Ray doesn't) and I also like the sound of the Maps software that you get with it allowing you to download maps for whole countries to use offline.

I'm gonna go to a shop and see how they compare in the hand.

Pinoy, 05 Dec 2011Hey guys! I would just want to know, gsmarena says it runs android 2.3 with sense 3.0. I tough... moreu r right, sense 3.0 comes along with android 2.3.5 update. Out of the box there's sense 2.1 n Android 2.3.3. So I would suggest u to confirm about ur concern from the shop from where u r gonna buy the handset. If the handset is manufactured after the official update is released, its highly likely to ve the latest update out of the box but not entirely necessary as the update itself is not available worldwide. So confirm it first.
