Okay, so if they care so much about the Droid line… DROID DNA…. 4.2 within 2-3 months? :O

And a mid tier phone like the M gets JB before the flagship S3. Verizon fucked us again.

What would have been more awesome is if they included “got rid of useless vzw apps app” in this update

The JB update was already in the approval stage when the phone was released. Motorola just decided to release the phone before Verizon finished their testing. The update did not go any faster, it was already in process.

Luke, being close to AOSP has no advantage in Verizon’s approvals.
tony, hasn’t Verizon already shown (GNEX) that Google can’t make them release anything faster?

Not with my HTC Thunderbolt. I think Moto has been getting updates done Verizon doesn’t have to fix up. HTC is still disappoint.

I bought a charge with an upgrade last year, I’ve been through a lot of these devices since then. Quick updates to market are key here, and I think for the first time someone is listening for the “current” phones.

Don’t leave everyone behind in the VZW approval process!

And my HTC Incredible 2 is still running Gingerbread . What’s up with Verizon…. I feel like being on a second rate Network provider; when it comes to OTA updates and new phones.

aww, weak… i didnt read that in my first scan. i was really counting on google wallet, but know that’s dead now. honestly, i use my card at the bar and restaurants more than i buy stuff. so the physical card is better for me. it’ll be nice to pick what rewards i reap from any of my credit cards, on the fly without having to carry all of them. just my ATM and google wallet at that point.

i was thinking the same thing. i just installed the soak test this morning. maybe “in phases” includes the soak test. in my email it did say it is almost certain that this is the final release. it’s just to test if the update goes thru without a hitch.
