    My phone just flashed something at me - a System Software Update was available!

    It mentioned Google Mail and something about a Keyboard update.

    Installing now.

    If you need to Recover your Phone, or enter the Bootloader screen on your HTC Desire, it's very easy.

    Step 1: Turn the phone Off
    Step 2: Hold down the Volume Down button
    Step 3: Hold down the Power button

    Bingo.

    **DISCLAIMER**

    I followed these steps and my phone successfully flashed to FroYo 2.2.
    If something goes wrong with your phone, I can accept no responsibility
    Remember to backup your data before you start, and if you are unfamiliar with flashing ROMs, read up on that too.

    In essence, the steps below walk you through:
    • Creating a 'Gold Card' to debrand your phone (you will need a 2GB SD card)
    • Installing HTC Sync
    • Flashing a World Wide English version of Sense to Downgrade to a lower version than the Desire shipped with
    • Flashing the 2.2 FroYo ROM

    The rumors began a few weeks ago about a follow-up device of the HTC Desire called the HTC Desire HD or HTC Ace.
    Very recently this Android phone appeared in a Vodafone inventory system in Germany along with the HTC Desire Z (aka HTC Vision).

    While the shape of the phone is almost the same, the specs are different from the current Desire.

    As with the HTC Desire HD (HTC Ace), the HTC Desire Z (HTC Vision) is another unreleased phone that everyone wants to get their hands on. This phone was spotted on a Croatian ...
