Hey HTC and Verizon!!!

Where is the ICS update for Thunderbolt? Need more programmers to yank out the good parts of Android? Can we expect it Today? Tomorrow? Next week? Next Month? Perhaps a year from now. 2 years? Why did I buy this phone that held so much promise, yet was ignored by both the maker and carrier? I wish I knew. Maybe my wife and I will head elsewhere when or contracts are up. I understand T-Mobile has unlimited data plans again.

Go ahead and slam away. I'm just sick of being promised service and receiving...not a thing.

It's not ready yet. A little patience here.

Yes 66 we've waited about 1 1/2 years for this phone to actually work right so what's a few more weeks or months...

GB fixed all the problems with the thunderbolt.. phone has been fine for the past year+

what you guys think ics will bring? its not a wonder pill, its a stupid software update

promised? ummmmmmmmmmm

ROFL.. you non tech people make me laugh with the way you get all angry over software updates that dont fix your phones

I do not care for updates of any kind. The original software usually runs best. Less rollover of hardware and less rollout of software would most likely make for a better Verizon and Android experience. Imo.

If you don't like software updates, maybe you should use that DROID Eris you mentioned having in another thread. I believe HTC and Verizon are mostly certaintly done sending out software updates on that phone. I on the other hand, feel that while there were bumps in the road that software updates on the Thunderbolt have improved its functionality each time.

I've had my thunderbolt for a while now, I am actually happy with it. I've never had to change it. When I first got it, I had a few minor problems, but since the last few updates including gingerbread, it had been fine. I am just as upset as everyone else that Verizon and HTC made this phone look like it was going to be the iphone killer. Well, guess what almost 2yrs later and this phone can't compare to even the regular HTC EVO. It seems that you guys again will miss the august deadline to upgrade the TBolt to ICS. I am already thinking that being stuck in a carrier contract is not worth anything. When my contract is up, my wife and I are moving to another carrier.

PS. Maybe you should just give us Jelly Bean. That would make your Tbolt faithful really happy.

Thanks Ann! Your insight is always helpful.

I responded to someone's post on the HTC USA Facebook page and HTC responded with something along the lines of....when we know you'll know..

so yeah im not surprised its going to slip into September before we get it.....nothing wrong with them waiting to make sure its right before releasing it

and1DR

I don't have a problem with waiting to make sure this does not hurt the customers who are still hanging with the TBolt. Remember HTC said July or Aug, guess what? Tomorrow is Sept 1st. If I was to promise a deadline to my boss at work and I am off by 2months, guess where I will be? unemployment line. That's the real issue.

pmkoul

I understand that........im stuck with this phone and htc until April....lets just say my next phone will not be an HTC unless they somehow wow me before then

I have the incredible 2.. I just want to see how it looks on my device... My husband has the Galaxy Nexus and it is nice!!! I am just a little inpatient, can't wait to play with it.

What annoys me most is no information being provided. I could accept a statement stating the problem, what they are doing to fix it, and an estimated new delivery date for the update. I am not a big heavy user of the phone, but even with the extended battery I can not make it through a normal work day if I do not have it plugged in to a wall outlet.

and1DR

354pm ET and nothing yet. .......waiting......waiting......waiting

pmkoul

hopefully you haven't been to the HTC facebook page looking for answers you would get "when we know you will know" and "we are working with verizon" answers all day long just inserting different peoples names

pmkoul

might be waiting a while

and1DR

LOL, If and when they decide to update the TBolt to ICS. I hope its impressive, because if it not, all Tbolt owners should complain.

pmkoul

aren't most of us already complaining........the best thing you can do is not buy from them again (them being HTC)

TBoltOwner

It's just a shame that there seems to be no learning from past mistakes. Why promise...PROMISE...something and then break the promise? Makes no sense (no pun intended). If anything, HTC and Verizon should have said that we would have the update by the end of November then roll it out in September - under promise and over deliver. Would've made them look like heroes rather than chumps.

I agree - Ann is very helpful in this forum. Maybe she should get a job with Verizon.

and1DR

Well, Aug came and went. Sept 5th and still no ICS. More reason to leave HTC

commonsense101

yah, or you know..upgrade

or don't get worked up over minor theme changes
