I kind of doubt it, unfortunately. HTC's sense is a heavy layover UI and the TBolt seems to be fading off their priority list rather quickly. But, only time will tell.

I agree with demmo86rt,, I have seen the SDK run on the Nexus and wasnt very smooth so unless they refine the codes the resources of the TB may not cut it for a ICS upgrade..

Thats just a opinion, who knows what could happen but at this time I believe it wont get the upgrade,

While I do agree to a point... HTC went on record to say they are making Sense "leaner and meaner". If they can pull that off then there is possibly a better shot for the TB to get ICS.

It would be nice to get ICS on the Thunderbolt, but I'm not going to count on it coming until it actually happens.

the incredible got GB after it was over a year old, so i wouldn't count out ICS on the tbolt just yet.

Though I have to say... The incredible was one of their best sellers, and the Thunderbolt wasn't though. So it's hard to say I still see more Incredibles than I do see Thunderbolts... I actually see more charges here than I see Thunderbolts.

i NEVER see incredibles (except mine)? which i find odd because i thought it was a fantastic device. who knows? the tbolt may not get it, considering that it will be next spring/summer before verizon pushes any ICS updates anyhow. but the incredibale had an end of life back in march (i think?) and got GB 5-6 months after EOL.

I still have two co-workers using a Droid Incredible. One is already eyeing the HTC Vigor/Rezound from Verizon. The other is probably not due for an upgrade for a while since they got the Incredible a few months before the EOL.

You know these days the devices popularity really doesn't matter because so many simply want the latest device, as soon as a new device comes out they have to have it.. Its kind of like OS upgrades, users want the latest upgrade and most of them due not know what the OS even changes for the user but they just want to say they got the update.

Hopefully google doesn't drag their feet on releasing the ICS source after launch so the developers can bring us something yummy. There's already an SDK port but its non functional with no working touchscreen. :smileysad:

The OTA has been rolling out for about a week now.
