HTC Desire in Australia to get "Stock" Gingerbread

The fate of the original HTC Desire upgrade path has found its way to tech publications several times, for both good and bad, over the past few weeks and it seems like we are getting even more information from Telstra in Australia that their version of the Desire will be getting a stock build of Android.

According to Telstra's software update page:

Due to the increased memory requirements of the ‘Gingerbread’ update, new software that does not include HTC’s Sense UI is being prepared.

This is very surprising as this is the first time that I have ever seen a device go from a custom manufacturer UI to a stock build.

Only time will tell if TELUS' HTC Desire gets the same treatment.
