Verizon Wireless will not release any information on an update until it is ready to go and be pushed to devices. The best way to watch it is on the Advanced Devices Software Updates | Verizon Wireless page.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Already looked there. It’s just a list of the current software revision levels for the various devices – not helpful in answering what should be a simple question. Looking at threads for other devices I now see that this is a typical response… I guess at least I now know no information on updates will be shared. Even if the answer was maybe or no, it would be better than refusing to answer at all. Sad that Verizon can’t do better for its customers that care about this issue.

Honestly, the reps who post here just don't know when software releases will be made available. They are as much in the dark as we are, and that's unfortunate. But the folks making the final decisions on software updates at Verizon are a small bunch, especially for BlackBerry software. BlackBerry just isn't a priority for anyone these days.

I agree and have come to the same conclusion. And it is unfortunate because while there may only be one or two people that work on this, there is someone, somewhere, within Verizon who knows the answer to this question and can at least say whether, or not it’s being worked on. Having been a service person for a large company for many years, I can’t imagine not being able to go find the answer and report the results.

Thank you very much for your reply!

I personally think people looking for this update are overreacting. You definitely don't see this in th Apple forums. First of all I don't get why people buy a home for what software update MAY come later instead of what the phone does now. Secondly, with this being the first blackberry with android, who knows what codes have to be written for it to work nice on both systems.
