This is nothing but another hourly BB employee talking out of his ass or repeating what someone else pulled out of their collective asses.
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.

nice value add! (not that i really have one either) but... i can add something
I am stuck with my company being generous to give me whatever device I want, but has to be verizon, so this is what i need to wait for.... glad my boss isnt being a **** about it taking so long to release....
fingers crossed for Thursday!
It looks like it'll be out on the 16th or 17th of March according to their TV ads, and this newspaper ad that's been out for at least two weeks right in front of our eyes.

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.

don't think your "sources" could be credible....
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...
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.

Threads like this leave me scratching my head. You have a Bolt. You have ease of rooting. You have a plethora of ROMs, radios, and kernels. But.... you're talking to Verizon about a problem that you could permanently resolved in a lazy afternoon. Don't get me wrong! 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.

My first thought is that they are holding it back for a reason. My first thought was they want to wait till gingerbread rolls out before I get it? Maybe it will come with GB already installed wich would suck because I want to root it again right away. Just seemed weird that all of a sudden it takes 5 days to get a replacement.

I just got a replacement TB, and it took 5 days as well. Not because of any upgrade coming to the phone though. VZW is now using USPS to ship stuff. I'm about done with HTC and this phone.

I haven't checked too closely but until users here or other sites actually receive the update notification (someone will take a picture of the screen !), don't believe it 'til you see it.
The only even-close-to-official announcement was on HTC's Facebook and Twitter accounts stating that the GB update for the TB was due in September.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but no, a possible update is NOT the reason for your delayed shipment. Your replacement phone is sitting packaged up in a sealed box with whatever s/w release it has and that ain't changing. What about the thousands of TBolts sitting in VZW's warehouse or the thousands sitting in VZW stores all across the country ? Are they going to update those ? Nope.... If an update comes out, those phones with "old" s/w will update shortly after they're activated (could be hours or days or ??).

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!

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..

Gotta satisfy my flashing habit,
So I may have to check that one out!
Last week Samsung offered IPhone users the chance to sign up and use the Note 5 and S6E+ for 30 days for $1. I signed up for the Note 5. I'm interested to know if anyone else here signed up for the promotion, and if so have you received any shipping info. I'm waiting on an email with the shipping info.

So mad. Bought a case too. Still no shipping info! Was planning on switching from my 6+ to the S6+. Sigh samsung
I signed up within the hour that phone arena posted it. It's been about a week and a day till I got my email. You should hear something soon.

Dang that's a long wait. They shouldn't have advertised the 2-day shipping. It's misleading. Idk how Samsung plans on restocking before the new iPhones come out.

Wtf.... done
I was thinking the same thing. It would have been better if they promoted this at their keynote for the phones. It would have given more people the opportunity to think of switching. That two day shipping was jacked up. I was crazy excited then it turned into the waiting game. Now that I know it's coming I'm back excited.

Funny because I just received a call from Samsung. It'll ship either tonight or tomorrow and I'll recieve it either Saturday or early next week. The rep said that their shipping has been delayed because of the amount of orders. I can rest easy now
Also:
The last android device I had was the Samsung Galaxy player. Any suggestions on rooting and if it's possible with the S6 edge plus or note?
I just read on xda they achieved it on the T-Mobile version. So I'm hopefull it will be achieved. These devs are really impressive.

Oh so Different carriers lock them. What can you do with root access?
Early on you could use it to turn your phone into a hotspot without shelling out the extra $20 a month. Right now they already have a fix for that to where you don't have to root in order to take advantage of that. My first thing I always do is to see if I can install this sound mod from this dev Viper. You can truly take control of the equalizer and make your headphones really good.

Ooo. Surprised they don't allow root access. What about changing the UI. Keep hearing that touch wiz is bad.
It use to be terrible. They really cleaned it up every year. To where now it is a pretty decent launcher. I personally prefer Nova Launcher. Especially now that some launchers almost theme the entire system and not just the icons and home screen. With rooting some devs will make custom roms with some pretty awesome features, over locking even run stock android if you want.

I'll have to try out nova launcher when my phones get in. I hope they gave me a good one too.
