Yesterday a message popped up on my Rezound's screen saying there was an update from Verizon to prepare my device for the upcoming ICS OS upgrade. I was totally stoked as I was unaware anything was scheduled for us Rezound users. In fact, I just had a conversation with my brother a few days ago (he had just bought a Samsung Galaxy SIII on VZW) and I was saying how I didn't think I'd be getting ICS on my Rezound for months...it was just my gut feeling.
So, I installed that little update. I think it was like 7.1MB. Then, after that finished I went into Settings and checked if any other updates were available. Lo and behold, the update for ICS was, in deed, available...299MB later, I was intstalling ICS on my Rezound.
My mother also has a Rezound, so I headed over to her place to see if she had received any of the update notifications I had. She hadn't. So, I manually checked for any available updates and yes, that small Verizon Pre-ICS update was available. I installed that for her and re-checked for available updates. Likewise, it was available for her. So, she is also rockin' ICS right now.
Needless to say, I am very happy about this. I really did think that we Rezound users were going to get screwed -- not have ICS available until the fall. I was wrong. Thank God, too, because I am LOVING Ice Cream Sandwich. Such wonderful improvements on an already killer OS.
Jellybean anyone?
