2 different Desires? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Folks
Here on xda-developers the HTC Desire has been linked to the Droid Eris, but checking out the US and European HTC sites they are different phones.
The European Desire doesn't launch until the first week in April (pre-ordered mine yesterday) but it seems the Droid Eris has been out on Verizon for short period already.
Can anyone shed any light?

the droid eris is the hero version in verizon while the htc desire on htc site is the new mobile released in MWC which is nexus one like..
Two totally different phones!!!

Ours is DesireC. Essentially, Desire CDMA. Hero has a Hero (G2) and a HeroC (CDMA Hero). Our files on our phone call the phone "DesireC"

So will there be after all a gsm version i know that htc said it wont but then on gsm arena they said tha htc france officialy anouced the gsm version so any news on that, i myself have a hd2 and love the bulid quality, support by hackers (like the DFT and etc) camera, and etc,only thing i hate is the speaker but its not a big problem this phone was great and now its getting old and for my next phone i wanted a htc and the evo 3d is perfect for me but i must know wich im going to by if evo 3d will not be availible and the subbstition for the evo 3d is sammy Galaxy s2
Yes, Evo 3D GSM version even if they don't have GSM version i'll get HTC Pyramid. But so far it's a go for GSM version.

I just don't like the idea of carriers beside Sprint inside the usa getting the evo 3d.. All carriers have exclusive phones. Worldwide is fine with me though.
Did find another source though...

Confirmed No GSM for the EVO 3D
Quoted from the site in your reponse.
"Update: We reached out to HTC directly -- this is just a mistake, and will soon be corrected. No GSM Evo 3D after all."

Dude as I said couple of posts ago, nothing is for sure as HTC France confirmed the gsm version. And if you think a little more, the Incredible was US only but now available in gsm as Incredible S... So wait and see, tomorrow HTC has a pressevent in London, maybe somr info will find it way to the light..

Well only the HTC Sensation (Pyramid) was announced today for release in May. It will be on various networks in Europe and Asia and on T-Mobile in the USA.
I guess this means that we shouldn't expect to see a GSM version of the EVO 3D until September/October like with the original EVO 4G and the Desire HD.
thats said.
looks like then i'll have to go with the sgs 2

I'm not waiting that long. I'll be getting a phone in May or June although I'd rather get one now.
The GSS2 is an option for me and if it had a notification LED and four buttons instead of three it would be the one for sure.
As it is I'll be waiting to see which one is locked down. If the Sensation is locked down like the HTC Incredible then I will look again at the SGS2 and the LG Optimus 3D and the LG Optimus 2X. So far they don't even have root on the Incredible S and developer support seems to be flagging.
Evo 3D gsm = fail. I even put money aside for this thing! Down here we have no CDMA network so my N1 stays put.
SGS2 not a big enough step up for me. I actually feel sad........for a phone

Updates.. are we officially on our own now?

http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/12/htc-android-jelly-bean-device-update-list-leaked/
derp...
as football has said before via twitter nothing for us.. and now via football again is this list (quoted from article)
Apparently, the following devices from HTC will receive an update to Android Jelly Bean, and they are the HTC One X+ (Evitare), HTC One XL (Evita), HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE (Fireball), HTC EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), HTC One SV (K2), HTC One VX (Totem C2), HTC One S (Ville), HTC One S C2 (Ville C2) and the HTC J ISW13HT (Valente). Needless to say, some of the more notable names (in the past, anyways) like the HTC Desire range do seem to be missing, so no love lost there. Perhaps it is time you made an upgrade to your HTC device?

Even if we get it in October, should hold me over for my next upgrade around April of 2014.

I hate to be a burster of bubbles, however this tweet explicitly mentions the HTC One, and makes no reference to the Evo LTE, or even the HTC One X series of phones. It confirms nothing at all about any update coming for our device.

It doesn't have to explicitly say it, since EVO LTE is a carrier specific phone, spun-off from HTC ONE X. Also, EVO LTE got the Jelly bean here first IIRC before HTC ONE X did here in the states. So if history is any indication, I think it does apply to EVO LTE.

However, this tweet is referring to the HTC One, not the HTC One X. The HTC One is the newest phone from HTC, and is about a year newer than the HTC One X. It was the one that launched with 4.2 and Sense 5 already on it.
I hope so......

You're right. It is referring to ONE and not ONE X. My bad on this one. I was seeing X after ONE for some reason.
Holy hell does anyone actually read what they are posting? As stated above ...this is in reference to the newest flagship model the htc one..completely different phone from the evo lte

No, that's specifically for the HTC One family.
We didn't even get 4.2 yet, why would we jump to 4.3?

You can flash 4.3 ROMs already from the development sections.

They're skipping 4.2 on the One line because it was a "minor" update. I guess it wasn't too much trouble to just leapfrog it to 4.3 so they did.

Chances of the X+ getting 4.3 Kitkat?

I see the One is getting upgraded, but the general talk is that the One X won't as it is outside of the 18 month window.
With the One X+ having only been out for 12 months, do you think we'll see the upgrade?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Can't speak for the international X+, but I can tell you for a fact, the AT&T X+ will not receive Android 4.4 KitKat with Sense 5.5. We will only be getting 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with Sense 5 in January. I don't see us getting 4.3 either. The international X+ will see 4.3, if it hasn't got it already, and 4.4. Just don't hold your breath on the AT&T model. Your outlook is much brighter if you have the international model.

Thanks for the reply. Will wait and see. Being in the UK, I do have the international variant!

According to what I've read, most of the changes are to BlinkFeed, especially the ability to switch it off. I have that on the + already (not 5.5).
Considering the phone is just 12 months old, I'll be very frustrated if there isn't a further update to the os.

Yeah, me too.
I don't expect unlimited updates. But the phone shouldn't be ignored after 1 year.
I hope they see Sense (no pun intended!) and bring the update to the plus.

The thing is, our device was kind of niche one, because the sales were not that great. And I don't think HTC is in a position where it would make sense (financially) to invest in creating an update for our phone.
Plus, there's the problem of loyalty to HTC One X customers. The HTC One X is almost the same device, so updating the One X+ would mean they have to update the One X as well. In my opinion, you can separate the HOX from the HOX+, and viceversa. If one gets an update, so does the other. If not, then none of them do.

Yeah, I get that. If I had known that it would be forgotten about after 12 months, I wouldn't have been so brand loyal.
Just have to wait and see...
Sent from my HTC One X+ using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well I too consider myself to be brand loyal, but only because of the build quality of the phones. I've been f****d before by HTC, with the Desire Z. It too was left behind before its time.
It's frustrating. I know there are arguments that we 'shouldn't' expect major software upgrades once we've bought a phone, but I think with the money we spend on phones, you should expect some form of upkeep for a while.
Sorry to hear you've been messed about before! If it happens here, I reckon I'll jump to Samsung or Sony.

I'm getting rather ticked off at HTC and AT&T. I've been an avid fan/user since an old HTC AT&T 8525 Windows phone. Every HTC phone I've had is always the only one that never gets updates. Other HTC AT&T phones get their updates, but mine don't. I have the worst luck in picking phones.
