For those of you out there with your HTC Thunderbolt in hand waiting for Verizon’s latest update for the handset, news is that it will be coming soon.
On Tuesday, my colleague Mark posted an article on the Thunderbolt update rolling out to customers in stages starting from that Tuesday and whilst, some users received the update (which fixes things like better 3G connectivity and GPS updates loading faster in Google Maps) many users were left dangling with no update to be seen.
The guys over at Droid-Life have noted in their article that Verizon had delayed the update, and were directing customers to the support page of the handset for details. Initially, there was nothing to be seen, but as of yesterday morning or late Wednesday night, details on the page had changed and now showed a “COMING SOON!” message.
At present, there is no information on the cause of the delay or when the update will start rolling out again. So, for now you will just have to continue as normal. Please note that the update for the Motorola Xoom, that was initially scheduled to release back on April 28 has also been cancelled, which is quite strange.
When we hear more information on these updates or any others, we will of course let you know. So, were you one of those fortunate enough to get the update? If so, tell us what you think. For those that did not, please leave your rants in the comments box.
