As I was reading this, that is exactly what happened *grabs unicorn candy **** and puts in my mouth* Yum!!

I think that there will be a Verizon announcement the morning of release. Not before, but I think they will make some kind of official statement the day they release it.

Damn, the unicorn that just pooped candy into my hands has red polka dots, not green.

Apparently, the green light has been glowing for the last 17 days, but the keys have not been turned. Verizon has a video feed from the bunker but the camera which provides the feed was deliberately obscured after verizon activated the green light. Verizon is concerned that 1 of the employees may have killed his co employee to prevent the release of the OTA. Unfortunately, the bunker cannot be accessed until the OTA is released, because the release acts as a key which opens the bunker to the outside world. My neighbor says that looking back on it, the process was not designed in an optimal manner.

My neighbor confirmed that the contractors who are drilling through the bunker doors will gain access and be able to turn the keys to release the 4.04 update OTA (and this is a direct quote) "in the near future, mean shortly, and possibly within days or weeks."

Doesn't Obama have to give the go ahead with this kind of operation concerning national security? I think he and Michele were busy today?

Ooo, SO close...

Due to patents on 4g networks, over the air updates, cell phones in general and the fact that they were given total control of the company so they would be allowed the privilege of selling their product the update will be pushed as soon as Verizon's CEO gets the OK from Apple.

unfortunately, the terms of some of the patent licensing deals require that approval come directly from steve jobs. He is a notorious control freak.

That shouldn't be a problem, he will just use the iForce to talk to them from the other side.

EDIT: thats so bad.. I mean no disrespect lol.

I'd believe it, we are dealing with VZW after all...

I just checked the Software Update page for Verizon:

They still show build ICL53F as the most current.

Jerry is currently stuck in his own beard and won't be helping us with this, sorry.

It's ok...come to the dark side of the force. Together we can be all powerful!!

**JediJesus95** · 05-22-2012, 07:47 PM

At this rate this might be the last update we get for ICS. The next update will be Jellybean and I'm guessing most of us will unlock and root so we can get it several months before Verizon releases it.

It feels like Verizon has had 4.0.4 for several months but only started testing it the last few weeks.

Who else is not surprised by the lack of an update?

It didn't occur to me until I read this. I have a bad feeling that this is exactly what will happen with Jelly Bean.

Well if that's the case then if Windows Phone enforces upgrades like they did today with everyone upgrading to maintain access to the app store. If Android can't enforce timely updates then perhaps in the future Windows Phone is the way to go.
