  • Thanks Martin. I guess I will have to wait for it to get updated. I checked the version of the Market app and its 3.4.4, so I guess I am just 2 behind from the current one. Commented Mar 8, 2012 at 18:54
  • I went into the Market today and it finally updated to "Google Play". I guess TELUS was just a little slow to get the update. Commented Mar 8, 2012 at 22:34
  • Just wondering if anyone with a HTC Desire running the 2.3.3 upgrade that HTC begrudgingly release last year has managed to get Google Play onto their phone. I've tried the steps above but I still have the regular market. I get the feeling we've been abandoned and are expected to get slightly faster phones which are 7% more shiny (for another £500 or so) but I remain optimistic. Commented Mar 21, 2012 at 12:45
  • @Poldie: I do have a Desire, but with CyanogenMod 7.1, and I got the new market very quickly. AFAIR, Market updates are pushed by Google in their own discretion and are not dependent on device makers or carriers. Commented Mar 21, 2012 at 12:49
  • I might check it out. Last time I looked at CyanogenMod the instructions were scary. Noone seemed to agree on how to perform the steps; the included links to other sites (with no guarantee whatever was being pointed at was still relevant), required downloads from file sharing sites etc. I'd do it in a heartbeat if it were simple but I can't risk bricking my phone for (by all accounts) a new icon to load a freshly renamed market. Or is it simpler now? Commented Mar 21, 2012 at 12:57
