All phones are sent out with the current OS at the date of manufacture. Because Blackberry chooses to update their OS actively is why the device has an older version of the OS, but this was always a practice. The disconnect here is that previously it could be updated by downloading the OS from Blackberry's website, but no longer an option.
I am (virtually) button mashing every day to see if the update has been released for the reasons stated above...hoping it comes soon, and yes, Verizon has always been methodical in their releases, which adds alot of slowness. I would recommend anyone reading this board to add a comment to show the amount of people with the device who are asking for the update.
