14 DAY TRIAL // HTC Desire HD might never receive an update to the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, it seems.
The handset, made official almost two years ago, was initially said to be en-route to provide its users with the benefits of ICS, but it appears that HTC might have cancelled such plans.
The smartphone was expected to get a taste of the newer platform release in the July-August timeframe, but Canadian wireless carrier TELUS is now listing (PDF file) the update as cancelled.
“HTC has cancelled the HTC Desire HD ICS upgrade due to poor device performance during testing,” the operator explained.
No info on whether this is only an isolated incident or not has emerged so far, but chances are that it is, in fact, something that would affect all Desire HD units out there.
