i think you can get the latest from HTC's website. I believe its an RUU.

Just had a quick look on htcdev but can't see the desire one.
Have a look on this forum see if anyone else has posted.
I'm sure someone has.

You can get the 2.3 update RUU from shipped-roms. Will post the link when I'm on a computer rather than phone. Or Google shipped-roms then select android and phone model is Bravo (not Desire, which was HTC's codename for a different handset as well as the release name for the Bravo!).

Edit: link here - http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
Look near the bottom of the list

PS. As it's an RUU it will wipe the phone. And you can't go back easily, so do make sure you know what to expect first (will be old threads discussing it here).

Thanks fella.
Thought it was on htc Dev.
Though I only picked that up for reading many threads on here.

It used to be on HTCdev. For some reason they removed it recently.

Ooooohhhhhhh!
I'll keep that in mind if someone else asks.
Cheers.
