    Well I don't think they have anything to complain about. The current xperia range is stuck on 2.1 forever (unless some XDA developer breaks the bootloader of course).

    My Desire HD works absolutly fine with 2.2, although latest patch from December left a few quirks. But if HTC never released 2.3 or 2.4 for it, I would not be disapointed. From what I can see neither of the new version will offer anything new to older handsets.

    NFC was a big thing in Gingerbread, but it's not much use if the phone doesn't have a chip: http://mobile-device.biz/content/item.php?item=29130
