Is the Thunderbolt getting Ice Cream Sandwich?

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,

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.
im just happy we got gingerbread......anything else would just be a bonus
the incredible got GB after it was over a year old, so i wouldn't count out ICS on the tbolt just yet.

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 guess it varies by location. When I travel to the states, or in Hawaii I see tons of Incredibles, and Droid X's more than I see the newer devices. I assume some are under contract, but a lot should already be out of contract or upgrade eligible.
I assumed it was a good seller compared to the Thunderbolt from what I have seen in 4 states aside my own. So it doesn't bother me seeing it get the udpate as it is a very popuplar device. I seen often enough if something doesn't sell well they'll "support" it maybe major 1 update and that's it. Motorola Cliq, Cliq Xt and a few other devices come to mind from various manufacturers.
