[Rumor] HTC Thunderbolt to Get Ice Cream Sandwich Near the End of Aug or Early Sept

[dgstorm]

HTC has indirectly confirmed that the Thunderbolt, will finally be getting Android 4.0/Ice Cream Sandwich soon. According to HTC, the update is almost ready for the former flagship, and should be ready for carrier approval at the end of this month. This means that the worst case scenario is that sometime in the beginning of September the T-Bolt should get the update. Here's HTC's quote,

"We're still working on getting the updates ready. We expect to have updates issues [sic] by the end of August for all devices that have been announced."-HTC

What is important about this is that the T-Bolt is NOT on HTC's list of devices that will be excluded from getting ICS. According to all the industry intel, it will be getting ICS fairly soon.

From those that have been with Thunderbolt from early on, that worst case is probably more like December. Most other updates didn't make the timeline, so I will go with the "will get excited when it is really here" stance.

Or - if it does arrive anywhere near the predicted time, then how long before the updates and patches for the multitude of problems that usually appear once the OTA hits the masses...if this update is true to form. Not to be a pessimist, but I have never had an update work right the 1st time(either just radio or full OS) without a new bunch of glitches that appear soon after.

Maybe they are still working on the paper or .pdf manual to go with it. LOL
