Not much I can do about it. I have an HTC Desire.

Yeah, I know there's some manual hack that can supposedly shoe-horn it in but it seemed to have 'Here be dragons' stamped all over it by HTC.

Sadly this is just typical of modern consumer electronics. There's no money to made in the software so not much interest in updating it. They'd rather we just threw our old perfectly functional unit away and spend our hard earned money on a new one.
