January 15, 2009.
Nah... Feb 10, 2009
Nope... kidding! I ment end of March.
Opps... did I say March? I ment Easter.
Point is... with all of the rumored release dates that were previously announced you shouldn't count on it anytime soon. You'll know when it's time... but don't hold your breath. Just be patient. It shouldn't be too long now... but you never know. We said the same thing back in February.
With HTC Dream being introduced in Europe in May, I can't see 1.5 being introduced until the release?
google is damn slow for updates..before releasing saphire atleast dream should get updated with 1.5 sux big time
No One Really Knows
No one outside of some people probably sworn to an NDA but feel free to speculate.
I'm guessing late May and here is why:
The SDK update is completed and released before the update is released.
The Sapphire is rumoured (maybe a fact I can't remember) to have a release date of May 2nd.
The 1.5SDK should be finalized and released in April according to Google.
The Sapphire may launch with 1.5 aka Cupcake since it will need the soft keyboard.
If the SDK is indeed released before the end of April and the Sapphire does launch in early May then one can speculate that the update should come before the end of May.
Your guess is as good as mine though I just hope it is worth the wait.

Amen!!!!
On another note, If you are talking about the official release for the Sapphire... the software will most likely be released WAY before the launch of the Sapphire. The software will obviously need to be put in place on the phone by then.
Now that is just speaking of the Sapphire "edition" to the software. They have always said there will be different builds of Android for different applications. No one knows ... eh hem NO ONE KNOWS what is coming to the Dream builds, and they certainly don't know when the next update will hit the air for the Dream.
For now, I am sticking with RC33 as it is stable and I frankly don't need ADP1. For those toying with a ported version of 1.5.... that's up to you. I cannot afford a phone that I cannot trust.

If Tmobile release 1.5 FW with soft keyboard and HTC's design before releasing Sapphire, I think nobody want to buy Sapphire )
Since they know the Sapphire has been ported they'll probably release it first, jus to make us suffer
release date SET!!!
i spoke with some people from tmobile called htc a few times and emailed some people who work at google.
1.5 will have to different yet similar versions, one for the sapphire and one for the dream
they both will be coming out on the same day
they will be officially released when they are done
Why Wait?
I'm running the 5.0.2H build, and it's stable if with a few broken features. If you want 1.5 now, just install it, it's easy to go back thanks to Nandroid.
That being said, while it's a nice update, it's not life-changing imho-- if you're running RC33 you have 99% of the functionality.

Hehehheehe! CS knows less than we do about phone releases. Now software updates are different but unless a rep is a personal, knowledgeable friend and not someone you just call up at tmobile. I would have to agree with the 1.5 ota being done after the magic/sapphire goes on sale but then again they may not have the sense to put 2+2 together and to most folks a new phone is way different than a software update. Who knows... after the G2 is released, we may never get a ota again, lol...

Strange that no one linked this earlier, been posten ouround at different blogs the last few hours.
Anyway great to get it here as well, and maybe somone can dig up something more.
I find it good that Nexus one is running it, then I might be able to get a port for my HTC deisre
Great finding, thanks!
and this quy arrived a few days ago as well
*edit*Outside google HQ
All the screenshots so far have the notification bar cropped out, Google must be cooking up something so big with the notification bar that even the leakers can't bare to reveal yet.
One bad thing though, if the rumours is right then Google will release a new phone around Christmas. I guess this will be with more powerful hardware which will be able to run honeycomb or something.
So then requirments might increase siginficantly to 3.0, which means i need a new phone soon
Well our Nexus's are ready now for Ginger & co.

It's not a rumor, Nexus Two (or whatever they call it) it's going to be announced probably
in November 8th. Manufactured by Samsung. It's the same phone as the Galaxy S
but a little thinner and with a curved back.
Eric Schmidt: "Initially, Google felt that they needed to build a device to help Android along so they worked with HTC to create the Nexus One handset. Schmidt says: “The idea a year and a half ago was to do the Nexus One to try to move the phone platform hardware business forward. It clearly did. It was so successful, we didn't have to do a second one. We would view that as positive but people criticised us heavily for that. I called up the board and said: 'Ok, it worked. Congratulations - we're stopping'. We like that flexibility, we think that flexibility is characteristic of nimbleness at our scale."

Bollocks! I knew I should've waited!! I loved my Nexus One until it was stolen. I loved the fact that everything came there first, as far as updates etc. It was so obviously Google's own phone. I didn't like that I had to use Dialer-One and Launcher Pro though (not crazy about stock Android dialler).
I love my Galaxy S's hardware, but I'm not loving this RFS stuff. How can I recommend a phone to people if they're going to have to lagfix it.. How do I know some OTA update isn't going to break it a year down the line and then they all start phoning me ?!
A Galaxy-S Nexus would be cool I reckon ..

At this point, asking a store rep, BB/Verizon/Amazon/Wirefly/etc..., about a phone that hasn't been announced yet and believing the information you get is foolish.

Just called VZW tech support to complain about my phone's incessant rebooting. After some fairly vocal complaining I got booted up to a Tier 2 or whatever they call them over there, and she told me she personally spoke with an HTC rep today who assured her that there will be a reboot-fixing update pushed out before the end of the week.
When I said "yeah right, whatever you say" she offered up her email address and said if they don't push it out by then, to call her this monday and she'll just get me a new phone (i.e a Charge or Revolution, not a new T-Bolt, already tried that).
So, finger crossed? I'm not sure it'll help me too much, I'm assuming it's simply MR2, which when I rooted and tried using it also gave me rebooting problems up the wazoo. But still, might be interesting news to some of the rest of ya'll.

A new OTA would be groovy... fresh meat for the devs. Just not sure Verizon are the problem-solving folks.
then be happy, if there isn't a update
So I literally just got off the phone with a VZW rep & he went through his bulletin notes & saw TBolt DOES have an update on the way. When? Mid July, no specific dates. Only one can hope...

Like I said, I don't think this OTA is going to help me. I've already tried MR2 (worse than MR1 in terms of rebooting) and MR2.5 (racing grade ultra leaded nightmare fuel levels of rebooting) so unless there's some magical un-leaked code in the OTA I doubt my T-Bolt is ever going to be stable. I was more posting this for the few who prefer to keep their 'bolts stock and want a rebooting issue fix.

There doesn't need to be any ota for this. Verizon will auto add a block dun feature on your account like the iPhone...there is no device side software needed for this.
The mr2 was pushed till second half of July, and even that is subject to change since there isn't any set date. Just like they said second half of June, so really who knows at this point. Thanks to Bamf and company I haven't had a single issue since day one on the device.

Q3 rollout though? It might as well not be coming out at all. I feel certain that sometime between now and Q3 I will not be able to resist picking up some stupidly powerful quadcore tegra3 (or similar) device which will have launched with ICS, and probably for a decent price.
It all leaves me imagining that Motorola only have a single solitary developer with a shoestring budget tasked with putting out the software upgrades for their existing range of phones. Why else would it take so long?
Anyway, looks like our own wonderful development community is the place to pin our hopes for some kind of ICS goodness, within a reasonable time frame.

Not a big fan of the trombone. I mean, I respect it as an instrument, and the people who play it as musicians, but it would have been much more helpful if you had picked something like a cello (which I also like much more than the violin).

We'll get ICS WAYYYYYY before Q3. The dev are working on it as we speak the only thing stopping them is that they're missing the telephony.apk which we need in order to connect to a GSM network. Without it we have a really small tablet with ICS.
Since we know that there is ATLEAST 1 dev in Motorola working on it that means that there will be a working APK with any betas/alphas that get out into the wild. As soon as that happens you can bet jim or lfaber will jump on it and fisnish their ICS masterpiece and maybe make CM7 or CM9 with it.

That is exactly correct!!!
So everyone keep checking cheesecake, ALL servers at least once a day, that is how we will find an early version, as we did with 2.3.6 months before it was out officially. If we get that, then yes we can get CM9 working.
I might have CM7 out here by the weekend, at least that is what I am hoping, but it is still not ICS, it is the 2.3.6 version.
I know its not as fast as we'd prefer, but isnt it nice to hear SOMETHING official from Moto about this phone? We all have been in limbo, heard assumptions, conflicting rumors/"inside" info, so I like that we at least know the future of our device, officially.

I know its not as fast as we'd prefer, but isnt it nice to hear SOMETHING official from Moto about this phone? We all have been in limbo, heard assumptions, conflicting rumors/"inside" info, so I like that we at least know the future of our device, officially.

See, sometimes inside info is a good thing... I was right on with the time frame I was given. Not showing anyone up or rubbing it in or anything, so don't take it that way.
great news! we do have a newer phone and the hardware is capable... glad to see moto planning ICS for Artix 2. I will probably never flash it cos I'll be on some custom rom built by the devs here!

Great news. We own one of the most underrated phones out. 2.3.6 made the phone better, ics will hopefully put it over the top.
Thanks a lot for the info. I was reading the bootloader unlock thread when the news came out. That just made my day.

We'll get ICS WAYYYYYY before Q3. The dev are working on it as we speak the only thing stopping them is that they're missing the telephony.apk which we need in order to connect to a GSM network. Without it we have a really small tablet with ICS.
Since we know that there is ATLEAST 1 dev in Motorola working on it that means that there will be a working APK with any betas/alphas that get out into the wild. As soon as that happens you can bet jim or lfaber will jump on it and fisnish their ICS masterpiece and maybe make CM7 or CM9 with it.

Well that and the locked bootloader. Doesn't that still hinder us a bit?
Can't wait hopefully we can find a bootloader unlock during the run up to ics

Well, after trying every phone out there (including a brand new unlocked Galaxy Nexus (returned), SGSII, HTC Vivid, etc.) I can say without a doubt the A2 is the all-around best android phone out there for AT&T. I have come back to it everytime after finding the other phones were either cheaply built, couldn't hold a signal, couldn't obtain gps lock, or took crappy pics. While the A2 doesn't do any one thing extraordinarily better than other devices, the phone does everything well with good battery life and great screen to boot.
ICS will definitely make the A2 a keeper, especially if can finally unlock the bootloader for some custom kernel goodness
Q3 is July - September, when September comes expect an announcement about delays and when 2013 come expect your atrix 2 on ebay.
So according to Rogers it's "soon", lol.
So when do you think we're getting it?

Later then on At&t....lol... But I hope very soon..
I'm hoping within a day or two, but you never know with the Canadian carriers. I'm pretty sure we got 4.3 first though, so I'd imagine that it's ready to go.
hope the update will come soon, at&t has already the update....:highfive:it still indicated soon on roger site. hope it will come in the next two weeks:fingers-crossed:. What I like in kitkat above all is the mail, gmail like, and google now is integrated to the launcher. will see how samsung put it in their touchwiz.
Hope it comes to Fido soon. I'm thinking that if it comes to Rogers, then it should be ready for Fido also.
Even though I'm not using any SIM in it yet lol, wonder how that goes. I tried with Keys3 and it tells me I have the latest version (4.3).
I'm mostly excited for the snappier speed! It is sluggish in some parts in 4.3 and touchwiz really makes it slower than it's supposed to be!
Waiting on Telus
Then I'll be cookin'!
Edit: No S4 - 4.4.2 on the
Telus upcoming software updates...
damn

wow wtf man
One of the reasons I left HTC for Samsung is faster updates
(I know there are Nexus for that, but Im not really interested in stock Android, except for the Nexus 7)
And now they are making us wait ?
3-4 weeks after ATT updates
Last time I chatted with Telus, the support team mentioned they generally release updates 3-4 weeks after AT&T. So looks like it will be end of March

not sure if they will be released at the same time but the last update(4.3) I installed on my Koodo S4 was the same one used for Bell S4.
Anyone remember if they all received the update the same day ?

Last I checked Telus got the update before any other carrier at least it shows that kind of pattern on the firmware releases.
Either way can't wait to start cooking a 4.4 rom

It's really frustrating that we pay the same as everyone else but are always the last to get an update. Last time, we got updated well after google had released a new version. Not even a leaked version??
8 times out of 10 Canadian Carriers release before AT&T
chill.

Well I ended up getting the Tmobile AOKP running for my jfltecan, just to mess around with some good ol' AOKP fun.
Just to pass the time..
