Just got a message that my unbranded HTC Desire (original) has an update for download...

System upgrade2.29.405.2 (28.87 MB)

Does anyone know what this entails? Is it worth downloading? (I'm wary because the last update almost broke my phone...)

Surely it can't be the Gingerbread update already?

It isn't Gingerbread - that will be a few months yet, most likely, if we get it at all.

I installed the update yesterday and it was painless. Follow the prompts on the screen and it is fine. There are no new features that I can see, and I believe the fixes are just performance and stability related.
