Update coming 2/28. Customers will have to go into a store to receive the update. Also, Cricket will be re-releasing the Zio with 2.2 pre-installed.
As of tonight, the Zio is still scheduled for a Febuary release of 2.2. As I've said before, 2.1 is going to be skipped it seems.
Other news:
Cricket will be getting the LG Optimus, as well as an android tablet (samsung I believe) soon.
Updated info will be given to you guys as soon as I get it.
Edit: see below for screens.
I've been following your info from the thread and the info from the cricket facebook page and it seems pretty consistent but we usually hear it from you first so I'm pretty confident in what you have been saying. Keep us updated. I realized the response about when we will be getting our update changed from mid February to just "soon". Is this because we may be getting the update sooner than mid Feb?

Looking forward to some kind of update in the near future hopefully.

I have some cool news coming for you guys hopefully tomorrow. It's an email confirming the 2.2 update
Can't wait.

Here you go, screenshots of the email confirming 2.2.
Cheers.
Looks pretty official. One thing that's on my mind, it says the zio will be Available to buy with froyo already on it in late Feb early March. What it says about the update is that it will be available " very soon". Does that sound right? So we may be able to update before then. (I had a dream last night that my phone updated itself to 2.2. It was awesome)

On the cricket facebook page there is a post with a link to an article about an email that a customer received supposedly stating the update will be available on Feb first. But the article also said that we will be getting 2.1 and not froyo which we all know is not true so in my mind it does lack credibility.

Here is what is going on from my understanding. We are going to stop selling the Zio with 1.6, and I guess re-release it with the 2.2 in a month or so. Exsisting owers WILL still get the update, although I haven't been able to confirm if it is OTA or not.

You know how those company facebook pages are, they aren't really company employees, just hired "bloggers" if you will. I never trust what I read from those things.
I understand that we will get the update but the question is when. I'm hoping by early to mid Feb. Do you know when it will be or can you get a estimated date. I'm going nuts checking on it all the time. The only information we have is that it will be available " very soon" or " in the very near future". That makes me feel like it can be any day now. Are they going to inform you in advance right when its released?
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
Trust me, you'll know the date when I find out. As of now, I don't have one for you
From my experience on how cricket does things, I would guess the update will be available after we start selling the new Zio with 2.2.
Haven't heard anything new, guy?

Word on the street is that we will be getting the update on the fifteenth. Any info on that?
Sent from my Zio using XDA App
if it happens
you will know when the update will happen you will get a text explaining the update process. so there is really no reason to keep checking. I have ended my search on the upgrade since personally i feel its never going to happen.
If you believe its not gonna happen you dont read much do ya?

Thats a great question!
I haven't received any more definitive details, so I'd rather not post rumors or my personal thoughts on when this is going to happen.

I'm on a Zio by Cricket as well. Today is the 22nd of Feb. I called Cricket support this morning and the person on the phone just told me 2 min. ago that the upgrade has not been released to the costomers yet. They said when it gets released they are going to notify me/you I guess on your phone that there is an upgrade for the phone and I guess what is needed to get the phone upgraded. The person I spoke to stated that they have no idea when it will be released and that they were still working on the upgrade and phone. He changed his tune when I explained to him that in a forum I am registered with a person explained that he/she let us know he spoke to 1 of the corp. reps in person, and the guy stated it was already tested on the phone and that Cricket already got the Ok to let the costomers upgrade that it will be out between the 22nd, (today) - 28th (next week). Once I told him that he just studdered and stated that he wasn't sure that they were never notified of this so on and so on.
Sorry if this reply conflics with any of the posts here.
WTF? lol
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/02/24/add-march-10th-to-the-list-of-htc-thunderbolt-release-dates/
I wouldnt worry to much about this recent news. As someone else noticed as well. They have phones listed in that screen shot that show they come out in november of 2010 as well. This paper could be as old as october of 2010. If im not mistaken, TB was a march release to begin with originally
Im not believing it..
Notice, that screenshot is not about upcoming devices. It is about their "current lineup". Which is accurate. And shows when the device was launched.
How is that misleading? It is showing Verizon's current lineup...
I wouldnt touch that with a 10ft stick, so many ads rumors and all that hype for these phone you can't possibly know for sure which is real so at these point if it releases good if not il just wait..

This is just my opinion but I can see it coming out after 3/12. Since BB gives you a 30 day return, they don't want to get all the I-Phones back to get a better phone. That only my opinion.
I wonder if Verizon will give current customers the option to extend their current contract for another 2 years and upgrade early like they did with the iPhone...one can only hope.

What about if you have a family plan? I received an email confirming my early upgrade eligibility on my main phone (a Droid 1) but I have two more phones that will be coming up on their anniversary dates in late Summer/early Fall. Will Verizon allow early upgrades on those phones too?

I got a text telling me I could upgrade my primary line, and then about two weeks later that my other line had been approved for an upgrade also. I think it might have been that I waited and didn't upgrade my primary line.

Last time I checked, the return policy stated 14 days. That would put the buffer to, well, this past Thursday.
Someone at a verizon kiosk told me that it will be out on Monday for a secret release. They don't want to make it to public tor whatever reason, but its apparently coming out on the 28th

Im sorry, but that may be the most retarded thing i have ever heard. LOL. Not a shot at you, but if someone at VZW really said that, that is funny. Why "secretly" release one of your most anticipated phones ever?!
After i say that and think there is no way it will happen, it probably will be a "secret" release. LOL

He mentioned that Verizon is worried about mass people abruptly entering 4g at once so they want to have people entering it slowly to make sure that the system functions properly before adding a ton of stress to it.

Only problem with that idea is, after about 2 or 3 hours everyone will know and within a day or two, they will have a ton of users on the system..
Secret Release......I thought I had seen it all...sorry but that is priceless...
I think this phone has lost all of its momentum since MWC and CES. There's barely any buzz about it anymore. What a waste of all that free publicity...

Hate to make you feel sad but i work for T-Mobile and there is no info out yet for reps to know what the date is for GB on the G2X. Only thing that is coming out on the 15th right now is the Sensation and the Samsung Dart. There is no info on the T-Mobile's network for reps saying that the 15th is the set date for GB. No one even knows if GB is going to be a OTA or a downloaded update. only time will tell

Its not that he is lying he wasn't given wrong info in which he through was true not his fault. Also if you go into your local tmobile store they can show you the notes you want to see. Also keep an eye on www.tmonews.com this site is always on the ball about tmobile stuff leaked out.
Hope its tru but you never know. I got a female tech rep two days ago. She was already usin a Jail broken phone and informed me rooting and flashing a rom to my
g2x was simple and hard to brick. Had been doing reserch now 24 hours later check the signature
Model LG-P999
Android Version 2.3.4
Kernal Version 2.6.32.41-cyanogenmod
[email protected]#1
Mod Version CyanogenMod-7-06112011-NIGHTLY-G2x
Interestingly, when I spoke to an executive at T-Mo on Friday about this he said that they had pushed back the date indefinitely and that he would send me a pre-paid return label to send him the two G2x's that I have for a full refund.
I doubt he would want to buy the phones back from me if an update was right around the corner.
i wont be getting it. I cant even check for updates without it FC
what happens is I go to check for updates, it FC saying something about settings.
rinse and repeat its frustrating,
am i the only one with the update

I recall scanning through an article someplace saying the same thing. from either gizmodo or engadget
I would also guess June...
You guys need to keep up with the news. Last week there was a screenshot leaked that showed that the Sensation was scheduled to get it's update on June 16th. That screenshot was never confirmed. About a 5 days later, T-mobile said that they had completed testing on the ICS update and that the OTA would be available "soon". Soon has never accurately been defined as far as Android updates go, so it could mean anything from next week to never.

Well T-Mobile in the UK released their over a month ago!

He's obviously not an official source. Regardless, it seems that TMOUS is back peddling once again...
I would suggest that nobody gets their hopes up about seeing it this week. June 16th is a very likely possibility!

Hey guys. The news from last week was really just that the update build passed testing.
Before the update passes testing, it could potentially get sent back to HTC for more development time or canceled entirely (As explained here). So this is a milestone. I don't know everything, but there's more to deployment than flipping a switch.
As some said, I'm just a messenger. Whether or not I give you little news, the update is coming at the same speed. Some people said they wanted more communication. If you don't want little news, that's fine; it's easier on me.

The reason why it took so long supposedly was because of WiFi Calling, they had issues early on that delayed it, which is fine by me, I'd wait longer to have a functional WiFi calling on ICS.
