HTC recently removed the Desire HD from list of phones that will get Android Ice Cream Sandwich update .
Many users were disappointed with the news and after huge uproar , HTC has explained further why it could not deliver ICS for Desire HD .
HTC said in its blog
" due to how storage on the HTC Desire HD is partitioned – and the larger size of Android 4.0 – it would require re-partitioning device storage and overwriting user data in order to install this update. While technically advanced users might find this solution acceptable, the majority of customers would not. We also considered ways to reduce the overall size of the software package, but this would impact features and functionality that customers are currently using. Even after installing the update, there were other technical limitations which we felt negatively impacted the user experience."
So , it means that the 1.5GB internal storage of the Desire HD is creating problems in update to Ice Cream Sandwich update , as the update would require repartition of internal storage for unpacking and installing . HTC considered reducing size of update but that was not possible without dropping Sense UI which it was not willing to do .
