This just in from HTC support in regards to ICS

In other words... We have to wait for blockbuster, NFL, and all the other bloatware to be converted to ICS? I was pretty pissed after I saw the razzar got it already. We were supposed to get it first. Verizon is trying to focus entirely on the razzar. I'd get one but the battery is non-removable..

I agree. Wtf August? If they start with the august crap I'm gonna go demand a diferent phone.

so, hows the new S3 ?

No, those apps all work just fine with ICS.

So far I love it. It's everything the Rezound could have and should have been.

The phone is freaky fast and bloatware free in my opinion. The only program I bloatware. is VZ Navigator. Androids have Google Navigation. Put the VZ program on feature phones who need it.

I have heard criticism that Spotify and Pandora are bloatware because VZ installed those too.

To answer Demmo, all I did is what Verizon was going to make me do. If I waited until next November, I would be paying full price to keep my unlimited data.

When they double cross us I am going to pull out my receipt and say I upgraded at full retail.

well I guess you better start demanding a new phone, the update according to VZW has been moved into August due to testing and so on and so forth. Heres a condensed response I got from CS, at least they were nice

" I have confirmed in our system that the HTC Rezound is one of 12 devices expected to have the update with in the next few months. That wasn't a precise enough answer for me personally, so I contacted HTC to inquire if I could get more details. I was able to determine, the update is coming very soon, they advised that the release date is scheduled to occur between now and the end of August. Which is right around the corner. At this time everything is running on schedule. Keep in mind that this date is subject to change and is an estimate. When is comes to software updates for any kind of equipment there are rigorous designing, testing’s and approvals that take place which can sometimes affect the launch date for our customers."

That's about jellybean, which is the newer version just released by Google.. ics is now an old is but we probably will never get either anyways. As I predicted I'm starting to hear August as the push date for ics... Pfff

[demmo86rt]

Did you even read it? There is a nice explanation about why phones may or may not get upgraded, and why it can take so long and, incidentally, is the same thing I have been saying all along.

Yea jelly bean will never come to rezound ....... Officially . The newest dates from the wire are evidently early August . Has anyone gotten any link with attacking Verizon and getting them to upgrade to another device due to the delay ? I know I read a few people were try and contact Verizon and try
