Re: HTC: ThunderBolt getting ICS before the end of the month (Aug
Official HTC just answered a
post on their wall.
Q: Any update on the thunderbolt getting ics i bought this phone as the first 4g phone and yet we are all the last to get the update can anyone give me a definitive answer on when ill see this update
HTC: Yes, we still plan on updating it sometime before the end of the month.
I'll believe this when I see it. Seriously. You can only see stuff like this be posted so many times before you realize that 99% of the time is just doesn't happen. Not blaming you OP, just commenting based on my own experience.
Being the first 4G shouldn't have anything to do with it's priority for getting ICS, in fact if anything it's a hinderance, since OEMs and carriers are gonna push to get the more recent phones (you know, the ones people are spending money on) updated first. Your phone came with Froyo, you already got major update to GB...and given how rapidly smartphone technology is moving that's about the most you probably *should* expect unless you like to be disappointed.
Wow. Can't believe more people haven't replied to this. That sounds great!! All those gottabemobile.com posts last week drawing conclusions that the thunderboltbolt wouldn't get ICS because the HTC desire wasn't getting it... Screw that. I'm still hopeful. If it isn't here by Sept I give up. Thanks for the post!

Agree it will be awesome if it happens... My prediction is that I'll be due for a new phone upgrade (Nov) before this update sees the light of day. Either way, I'll be happy.
Again sorry, not trying to be a downer, just a realist.
