Either we're all in central or eastern time or you guys are getting up too early.

So I got a chance to look and it looks as though 21 is dead. 98.72.22 will be the next build. That should start testing this week and will be the build we end up with. I'll let you know once it starts testing.

Many many thanks for the updates, Sam. With stuff like this, who needs soap operas.

*shares popcorn*

Tell me about it. There's SO much more to it that I can't post here. It's way more soap opera like than you knowl

Can you at least say if there is an evil twin with an eye patch and a mustache? Preferably named Renaldo?

LOL!

Wow. Went to bed last night depressed as hell. Now, maybe we're back in business. I can only imagine what its like for the people who actually work on this stuff.

Co-worker's RAZR is still updating to 4.1 (ridiculously slow wi-fi and no cell data here at work). Can't wait to see it in action!

 

[SamuriHL]

There was no reason to be depressed. I only mentioned the possibility of Moto pulling JB for Bionic to prepare us for IF it happened. It's almost certain that won't happen. Build 22 SHOULD rock. I'll simply add this and we'll leave it at this...meaning I won't discuss it more than this...... the crISIS has been averted.

After us getting shafted so many times by VzW, I really hope we get JB.

Also, my brother has the Razr so I told him to look for the update soon.

I think it's likely that we will.

Awesome. That's good news. I figured the crISIS was averted when I started reading these posts this morning.

I'm guessing there was an affair between someone at Moto and Verizon that made this all work out...

I wondered about the CrISIS when you said we want build 22, hopefully your info is spot on as usual, thanks Sam. Also along with the soap opera going I think there is a lot of "Dilbert" here with the pointy headed boss telling the engineers to do it when it is not possible.

No guarantees about my info. It's not based in the world of fact. It's based in the world of interpretation which is often very difficult. For example, 21 started testing again this morning after I said it was done. So I don't know where that leaves us. Still wanting build 22 I think.

aaaaaaaaagh!

Thanks Sam, keep us updated on this roller coaster. As you have said, it is a pretty good phone w/ICS, it is an EOL phone and with or without JB it won't be the end of the world.

The drama of smartphone OS update build testing...there's a new show idea. Get on it AMC!!

Sam, can you do me a favor? Once this is all over and we either get JB or it is confirmed we won't for whatever reason, can you please fill in all the gaps? I wish I could say I am making this request to provide closure for the bionic community or because I would like to have the big bad red exposed, but none of that would be true I'm just nosey and want to know for my own gratification. Oh, and by the way thank you, regardless of whether you answer this or not.

Maybe months down the line, an insider will leak the story. That said, I'd prefer Samuri only share what he's comfortable sharing.

I can't else I would. The person who provides the information doesn't allow it to get reposted. He's had similar problems to what I've had where stupid people take the information and run to the nearest news site so they can get their 15 minutes of fame. So, not ever going to happen I'm afraid.

I understand, I think I can live without knowing
