They are trying to sell more phones. The average Joe sees new colors and says oooh, shiny, i want one. The same average Joe doesn't know or care what OS version is on it.

I don't think it is, but handing off calls to CDMA when you lose LTE connectivity, rather than dropping calls, is a solution that Verizon really needs to adopt for VoLTE.
(By the way, I hate the abbreviation "AC" because I keep thinking that people are talking about the WiFi 802.11 AC standard that the Turbo supports.)

I've had my Turbo since launch and have not experienced an issue with either of those things you listed. I can go through a whole two story home and even mow my lawn outside without ever losing connection. Advanced Calling has never failed, either.
As for the colors - different teams design the phone and software. So its not a huge deal.

Agreed
That brings another question. Are those that are having issues connected to 802.11 AC or a Wireless N router? I'm on an AC router and have no issues.

Just purely in the FWIW rumor department....
Just saw a post in a different forum from a user's conversation today with a level 2 Verizon tech. The Turbo owner says that after handling his issue he turned the conversation to the Lollipop update & the tech unequivocally said it's scheduled for June 1st -and additionally - will enable wifi calling. Please, don't shoot the messenger, only adding due to the intense interest in it here.

And according to someone on here, if a level 2 Verizon tech says it then it's Verizon stating it as FACT.

Man you guys are getting very touchy, and defensive. I Dont pretend to know what Verizon is thinking nor do I defend a huge corporation. Both seem silly and pointless. But I would like to comment on the release of new colors for the turbo (though I would swap for a gray one), maybe they will launch lollipop on the same release date, seems like a great way to sell more phones.

I wouldn't say I was defending the huge company, but I know what they're dealing with on a basic level, and I've had people who just don't understand why it's not already fixed and so on. If anything, I'm more concerned with the people who are doing the actual work. On one side you've got angry customers wanting to know why you're not done, and on the other side you've got angry employers wondering why it's not done. Neither of them usually has any idea of what it takes to make something like what you're doing happen, but they don't care, they just want it done. I myself have put in 70+ hour weeks on projects like that, and when it's done, most of the time you get a "don't know why it took so long". Just one of the reasons I don't do that anymore, because dealing with people in that scenario can make you hate people.
Just read that a bit ago. Based on previous posts, guy seems legit. Time will tell if he's correct.

I agree - that does look legit (though the timing of the update, I think, will depend on finding software that works, I would think.) It's a shame that Verizon just can't come out and say this, officially.
I suppose this does give hope to Rob_B and others that 5.1 will improve VoLTE, but I still wouldn't count on that.
