All these devices would also get HTC Sense 3.6 instead of HTC Sense 4.0 that is available on that latest HTC One Series devices due to hardware limitations.

Most of the devices would receive the update by June. HTC expects to finish rolling out the updates for all the devices by August. It will take time for all carriers in each country and carrier to get the update.
[Update: HTC has removed the Desire HD from the update list saying that it would require re-partitioning device storage and overwriting user data that would wipe the date. It would also have technical limitations that would reduce good user experience.]
