So it looks like Lollipop in February!

And that's what kills me. I high end device by one of the best in the business, and they leave the OS upgrades to a carrier? Ugh...

I will now attempt to translate the quoted post into English.

Hah! It's almost May and there's still no Lollipop for the Z3V. My HTC M9 has it and it's great! I can move apps to the SD card now. I bet you wish you could do that on KitKat...
Let me know when Sony gets it. lol
But it probably never will since T-Mobile discontinued it.
Would you like some sugar to make lemon-aid from your sour lemons?

 

[DJJeffT]

LOL. Thanks for making my morning with your translation!

Just got off a chat session with a Verizon representative and she said Lollipop will be released for the Z3v on 7/23/2015.

I would like to know when the Sony Z3v will be updated to Android Lollipop. It has already been
released for all other Sony Z3 devices.

This thread touches on one of three reasons why I abandoned this otherwise great phone (shortly before accidentally dropping it and killing it): horrible aftermarket support, poor technical support (or lack thereof online for this model), horrible carrier software support. I've been dragged to the dark side...tempted and took a bite of the apple...

Edit: make that 4 reasons...no VoLTE!
