If you are willing to root now, why not try the leaked MR2 update first? Its very easy to install and has had very good results from what i've seen. If that doesn't fix your issues, then you can go the more difficult rooting route.

Agreed the leaked MR2 was fairly easy to install. But I am really starting to want Netflix.

Yeah not having netflix on a 4g phone and it's on old 3g phones is wrong

It came and went without ANYTHING. Thanks Verizon...

Does rooting give you access to netflix??? I would love to have netflix work on my TB!

Rooting is only the first step, then you will need to flash a GB ROM that is compatible with Netflix.

If all you want is MR2, you don't even need to root.

Went? What time zone are you in? I still have 9 hours or so to go before the end of Q2.

I've got too many DIY projects going on right now, I don't need another one. I miss the days when you bought a cell phone, charged it up and used it a week before recharging ------ DAMN THESE SMART PHONES!!! Nobody told me "I" had to be smart to get it to work!!!

Sad thing is, my 6 year old grandson figures them out immediately....sigh.

Perhaps that's my problem, I don't have a six year old grandson to figure things out for me!

Yeah, me too, plus I can't accept the irony of voiding my warranty to get a working phone. Luckily, my phone works great as is and I don't want to introduce little glitches with alpha builds of Gingerbread just for a working version of Netflix on a 4.3" screen.

Thanks, Robrecht

My phone is smarter than my dog, but my phone does not love me.

Thanks, Robrecht

I as well. But I have no faith in getting it by midnight.

Agreed - if it hasnt happened yet, it's not happening in Q2. However, I called verizon to ask about the update's status and to complain about it (again) and they hooked me up with a free month of service. Not an incedible benefit, but I am not going to complain about a $60 credit! Now, how to finagle a free one of those extended batteries like I have read about people doing on the forums here....

Ok, we all need to go and call! We want our $ 60.00 + credit too.

I would expect more leaks by now. There was what? 1 GB leak? I would expect if they were really testing it would be in a lot of hands and we would see leaks.

So now Skype has an advertisement with the thunderbolt using video chat. Maybe they have BAMF on it....

Nah, it's a beta OS build from HTC but this is a good sign it is coming soon

I went to the Verizon Wireless corporate store in Jacksonville FL yesterday June 24th. My wife got the Charge. I was talking to my guy there and he told me he couldnt officially say anything about the tiered data plans... but he hinted it was coming. He also mentioned to me after looking around that the 2.3 update for the thunderbolt was going to be rolling out on June 30th.

looks like Verizon rolled a gutter ball, and we are waiting for the pins to reset.
