Owners of the HTC Desire HD will be disappointed to know that the smartphone will not be getting the Ice Cream Sandwich update. The news has been confirmed by HTC India on their official Facebook page.

The device, which sports a 4.3-inch display and 1GHz processor, will remain on Android 2.3. This is despite the fact that the company promised an update for the device along with other smartphones.

Poor performance of Ice Cream Sandwich on the phone has been cited as the reason for cancelling the update. Here's what HTC had to say:

"After extensive testing, we've determined that the current version of HTC Sense with Android provides customers with the best experience on the HTC Desire HD. When we consider new versions of software, we weigh a number of factors, but ultimately the customer experience on the product is the deciding factor. We apologize for any confusion this change may have caused our customers."
