You are right it will be a while. I just got off the phone with a Samsung manager who stated that Verizon has had Froyo for a considerable amount of time, and that they too wish our phones would be updated because it is making Samsung look worse.
Verizon does not give a **bleep** they know the majority of us our enslaved to them because of their outrages 350 early termination fee. They also know they have better coverage. I saw this when I had nextel. Nextel knew that everyone wanted direct connect at the time and their customer service dropped dramatically because they knew the customers were not going anywhere.
Verizons customer service standpoint is what are you going to do leave? Give us our 350 dollars and leave you will be back and be chained to another two year prison sentence with a phone that is two android OS behind now and they could care less. They are last to have front facing cameras, even t-mobile beat them to 2.3, there plans are the highest of all the carriers and you get less (IE sprints simply everything and the fact that you can share that with your family). I am unfortunately not in a financial position to justify taking my four lines away from verizon. However at this point I would gladly trade some dead spots and a couple of lost calls to have a phone such as the EVO (2.2) the Nexus S (2.3) the G2 (2.2) or several other android phones whose carriers were concerned enough to update their phones for their customers.
Verizon, Does it really take that long to take a good operating system and destroy it with BING and make it slower with your Bloatware that no one is going to use. Blockbuster App really? They almost went out of business. VZ navigator are you crazy google maps and navigation are free do you really think any of us want any of your bloatware? Put your bloatware in the market place and if we want it we will download it. Now give us the **bleep** Froyo already now that Gingerbread is out.
To those who say they are waiting patiently as they want fewer bugs. Do you really think Verizon is working hard to remove the Bugs? Hell no they are dragging their feet because they are preparing to market the Iphone and pushing the 4G which is nothing new sprint has been had 4G.
To those that say do you think other carriers are going to treat you better. Well other carriers have updated their phones. But that is not the point, the point is just because one may be treated ok by their carrier does not mean they should not be encouraged to treat their customers better.
Thanks for nothing verizon
One of your many truly unhappy customers.
