Exactly as long as they release it somwhere in September ill be happy
Yeah it's probably getting held back for Rogers to test and or lock up the phone like the whole HTC Dream fiasco.
And here i thought, we canadian beat the US for the first time having x10 in our country before them... but now we are last in our update. Where is our justice!

Actually, they say that it will be released sometime between October 1 and December 31. Makes some sense, as it's not expected to be released anywhere until the end of September, and if it falls even a week after that it'll be October.
With that said, it wouldn't surprise me if it does take Rogers until December. Have they even released 026 yet? That's why I rooted and went with the generic ROM. Been running 026 for like a month-and-a-half.
As others have said, as long as a generic X10a firmware gets posted somewhere, we'll be set.
I think Canadian cell phone users were anticipating this though. It happens all the time. For once I almost thought we'd be close to par but I saw that tweet earlier as well.
Ah well. Thankfully there's a strong online community and we'll have this minutes after it's released

So just wondering, is debranding the same thing as unlocking? I'm looking at the tutorial in Xperiax10.net... they say it might brick the phone so I'm hesitating slightly...

Debrand = remove operator logos, apps (bloatware), etc. Lets you use generic FW and FW from other carriers
Unlocking = allows you to use your phone on a different carrier. No more binding to carriers. You'll want to debrand your phone and use a generic FW once it's released... we'll definitely be getting a late update from Rogers.
Absolute BS. Hmm, to change phone or not.. I wonder if we will actually get One-Finger Zoom?

It looks like March 3rd/4th is the next rumored drop date for the TB. BGR is reporting an insider at VZW was at an event held last night with TB launch details etc.
http://www.bgr.com/2011/02/24/htc-thunderbolt-may-launch-on-march-3rd-or-4th-4g-lte/
-Lil'
I saw that in the Android Central forums, it's quite possible. If the date holds I can hold on another week. Of course it'd be nice for Verizon to say something.
I actually beleive this may really be the date, Im kind of relieved..
My local Verizon corp. store took down all their TB signs. They are only flying the iP4 signs now. There for a while the walls were plastered with TB ads and signs.
Which "MARCH MADNESS" are we going to watch the NCAA BASKETBALL or the VERIZON /HTC Thunderbolt madness ???????
It might be even later if they can't get the FW more stable. It looks like they are going to just release the device and then push a couple OTA after release.
I've had the Incredible since May of 2010(one of the lucky ones) and am amazed at the recent rom development for this phone. I am also eligible for an upgrade as I am the primary line account.
That being said, I am excited for the Thunderbolt; but I can wait for the release. Chances are Verizon may lower the price after 30 days or so, depending on how well its received.

Yeah , having my Inc and a good rom makes the wait easier. Still want the Tbolt soon.

I must have missed that info. Has anyone with credibility actually stated that, or is that just another rumor being thrown around? I would assume if they already shipped out plenty of units, the FW would be plenty stable.
Would you please post a link to the source of that concern.

I work for Qualcomm, and the device went gold since January. The Network is being fine tuned to handle the LTE devices, and iPhone traffic, but the firmware is not the reason. There were numerous tentative release dates, but Verizon publically stated 1Q. Iphone 4 was the first priority, but that's my opinion.
Thank you for your feedback on the Milestone XT720; due to limited resources, we can confirm that this device will not be receiving software updates.

What CB smoking i don't know, maybe they have some voluenteurs(sorry, bad english, huh=)) that works on our phone.
Can someone on FB ask that "limited resourses" guys to open our bootloader or give as non locked bootloader, if they droped our phone like this?
Cause we have resources, and will gladly work on our phone.

Yea im pretty sure this things never gonna be upgraded, updated, or unlocked. i had to return my phone for repairs yesterday (had about 100 dead pixels out of no where) and when i went in to Cincinnati bell they had no idea what i was talking about when i asked about them about an update, and he said " I think they are just gonna wait and upgrade it to 2.3" but i know thats not happening. and when i called and talk to motorola to get the shipping info the guy said "hey we have the same phone" so i said "are they ever gonna unlock it or upgrade it" and surprise surprise he said "no its gonna stay on 2.1" and some other stuff i couldnt understand. so atleast we have some awesome people here at xda that can get right what motorola cant.

I talked to the CBW guys downtown in Career Tower (sub contracted, not corporate store) about the elusive upgrade they are supposedly working on and you would have thought I was the 2nd coming. He was excited but had no idea what I was talking about. I mentioned the Facebook page thinking b/c he is not corporate that he might know more backroom stuff and he had no idea about it. Thank you for xda, b/c CBW's right hand doesn't talk to its left hand b/c it is dolling out money to Motorola for exclusive contracts to outdated or locked phones.
And always remember, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Nothing surprising here...
Hopefully we get some success with the CM7 soon... Also hope CB does actually come through with that update -but it has been two months+ and we still haven't seen anything...
I just wish Motorola would unlock the freaking bootloader. That's seriously the least they can do... unfortunately that's probably not going to happen.
This very strange because my bell contract told me that they considering going to 2.2.3 I have seen their 2.2.1 update but not the 2.2.3 I don't trust bell but I also here motor is holding them up.

Guess we'll see.
I believe phone would beincluded because this originally had 2.0 I not how long ago it was but I have a ton they need to include who getting it but I have read were they said its up to the carrier of they support it them those customers will her unlocked. Only time will tell.

Motorola is firmly committed to delivering an unlockable/relockable bootloader solution. This will be applicable to all devices that are scheduled to receive updates in the second half of this year, indicating the possibility that existing, locked devices may receive updates to unlock them in Q3 or Q4 2011.

U guys are phunny!
U guys are phunny! I don't beleive a word that Moto prints.. they aren't going to unlock us.... Look at their track record... ain't gonna happen fellas. You see their week-ass posts to questions from their own customers on their own support forum... they are liars & a joke. as MCP says "End of Line............."
We may try to port ms1 unlocked bootloader if it will be so...

I really love the look of the XT720 honestly. One of the best looking phones on the market imo. I got it knowing that we would probably never see more than Dexter's Froyo. I only have minor regrets about it (mostly I didn't realize that there was so little RAM and also as I see more Android OS 2.4+ announcements I realize just how quickly this could be totally out of date), but I still like the phone and there was no alternative available on my network anywhere near the price I got this for, so it was definitely a good purchase. If Moto actually unlocked the bootloader that purchase would be even better, but guess we'll see if that ever happens.
Just curious if anyone has any insight or speculation?

If by now, you haven't received this firmware update from your wireless provider, something is askew and you probably should start looking that. Other than that, if you're not already running on it, you've probably made that choice!
As with all software updates, it's never a bad time to either perform a new backup before commencing with the OTA download, or at least check on what date your showing for the last one (usually, you'll find your handset performs these daily, once every 24 hours). As for me personally, that's my cue to run my backup to my microsd card via the Smartswitch app!
The last friendly reminder I wanted to share witb some of our newcomers that have recently graced us with their presence, is to make certain you're at (or pretty damn close) to 75% charged on your new flagship! The way these new "beasts" we own "bleed-out" our batteries, it's not a bad idea to "up the ante" with the old school rule of having your battery at 50% or more before downloading the update! I saw this same topic mentioned on one of the other forums/channels the other day and thought it was some good advice? Eh, to each his/her own...whatever works for you!
《ATTENTION: ALL NEW MEMBERS AND GUESTS OF XDA DEVELOPERS FORUM》
Welcome to our humble, yet well informed niche!

yep, saw that, but you're an Unlocked, Carrier Branded SM-N986U, not SM-N986U1. That's where my confusion came about until I figured it out looking at FOTA!
I know it's no cause for alarm (with samsung, it happens more often than not) but I didn't see a new build # assigned yet for XAA(as if they hadn't started one, but much more likely they just failed to update their system)!
However, for those of you SM-N986U1 users (like myself) seeing this dialog, we could be in for a little longer wait, meaning we may not have Our Update by this coming Monday (3/1), as a few of the websites I saw earlier were speculating!

**ONE UI 3.1 SOFTWARE UPDATE IS HERE!**
I'm on the unlocked SM-N986U1 connected to Verizon and still no update for me. I thought having an unlocked phone straight from Samsung would put me in line to get the updates first, but I guess not. I was one of the last N20U users to get 3.0, and now the same seems to be the case for 3.1. I saw articles talking about it being pushed out the Note 10's already.

I have bought two notes from Samsung directly over the years because I was under the impression if I bought the phones straight from Sammy I would get more features and faster updates. But as time goes on I see now that the unlocked phones are second class to Sammy. It seem to me like Sammy can't help but stroke off the carriers and bend to what they want.
