There is ZERO chance that the Turbo doesn't get the update. None.
Hope springs eternal ...

If it was 2-4 weeks we'd start hearing about soak tests, which there are none. What Schuster said (if true) was for a regularly scheduled update, they are now off schedule because they messed it up and it takes a lot of resources to do a "do-over". This means it's chances of ever making it at this point are probably 50/50. There are new phones and/or more important phones coming out that will be deemed more important than the Turbo update which will have to take a back seat to those.

I wish it was a rumor, unfortunately it's not...
"T-Mobile's Young confirmed that it is typically three to six months from the time they get the new software until it goes live. Simple addition, then, will tell you that it may be as much as nine months for that new software to make it to your device, and that's only if the manufacturers and carriers agree that it's worth devoting the time and resources to update it at all."

Read the article, it may look like they came out with Lollipop not too long after it became public but they've been working on it a lot longer then what you think.
Well, my wife's Verizon S5 got Lollipop last night. She hates it, it's slowed down her phone and she's not crazy about the aesthetics of it.
I, along with some others, am more than willing to keep KitKat for as long as I have it.

Soak tests are the last step of a release. Many times Verizon will release the software before the soak is even over. By the time you hear about a soak the software is going to be released.

All of these updated to 5.1? Because my Nexus 7 didn't get it's first LP update until December, and the second to 5.0.2 in mid January, which is where it still is currently. Android 5.0 was announced in October of last year, Android 5.1 was announced in early March. Since my Nexus didn't see any kind of 5.0 update until 2 months after announcement, why are people expecting 5.1 for the Turbo earlier than that? Right now we're at just over a month since they announced 5.1, if I was a betting man, I'd guess we'll see 5.1 for the Turbo between mid May and mid June.
Hunch?I have a hunch it will be a little sooner than that, but otherwise agree generally.

What's Android 5.2?
