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.

I agree 100%. Between the fact that there was no announcement today and the IPad2 dropping the 11th, I don't think there's any way we'll see it this week.

Tuesday, November 16 was back in 2010, so the phone has secretly been out since November but verizon is hiding it from everyone

More rumors of an update

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.

Bah. I searched first, there's nothing I'm immediately seeing mentioning an OTA update before July 8th for rebooting issues, just people talking about the July 7th update to remove from Hotspot. If I missed it then I apologize, your highness. I'm only going to spend so long search to spare anyone the horror of reading a three sentence thread I started that MAY be redundant.

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.

Gingerbread update is working! Download thru kies mini now!!!!

Download now! Kies mini now!!!! When download does work for you Your phone will be put into download mode automatically! Don't be Scared! Just don't touch your phone during the process cause you may **** something up and brick your **** permanently.
People are exclaiming you need to register your device before being able to receive the update. If that's the case go to the Samsung site and register your phone if you already did then register your phone again and wait a little and see if something happens. I registered my phone 2 1/2 hours ago and received the update.

can't you use the rogers method?
The kernel would be the same right?

Anyone having problem with Kies getting an error msg similar to:
Handle:1115196,x:692,y:292,width:537,height:466
??
It recognizes my phone and says I have an update, but I get that message after I hit update. )=

the Rogers method will root it but then you lose the HDMI kernel and only have the leaked kernel to flash back to it.. I doubt it will be different from the kernel we already have but getting the official kernel dumped might be tricky, it would only really be needed for potential initramfs changes, which are likely insignificant.
just out of curiosity someone with the update please post the baseband from settings about phone.

It's the same build number (UCKL2) but is it built using the same tags (release vs debug)? I remember reading that some of the leaks were built using debug keys which can slow down after time because EVERYTHING is logged.
That said, it does look like you'd have to flash back to stock using GTG's unbrick to get back to UCKD5 before Kies will recognize it. So Odin is kind of necessary, at least for the moment.

You do realize there are some people who want to upgrade the legitimate way right? Not everyone wants to flash a rom.
Personally, I flashed both my phones back to stock just to see what the whole kies thing was about. Would have been a nice smooth process (since I'm a crazy person who registered my phones as soon as I got them) except for this annoying handle error that no one seems to know the actual cause of.

call me crazy, I dare you but i did install and played with all the leaks but the update feels a lot smoother.

if this is how you want to update it then fine. and I'm not calling you specifically ignorant, I mean many people don't visit xda and will have to go through this if they want the software, I'm more laughing at the other thread where people are all "does bt work? " not realizing that the Bluetooth devices that don't work use an old protocol that Samsung doesn't care to support on the devices with bt3.0, or like Samsung and att would over look such a nessessary feature of the Phone to leave it out or broken its actually funny the comments and questions going around.

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).
You know, just FYI.

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.

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 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.

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.

New AT&T Atrix 2 User.

Hi! I just bought yesterday an Unlocked Atrix 2 from AT&T, it came with Android 2.3.6 (55.13.25.MB865,ATT.en.US) Pure stock, not rooted, brand new.. My question is.. What should i know about this device? Is it Getting an official OTA of ICS soon? I don't want to root it yet, i'd like to receive official ICS Update via OTA, then root and play with it. I'm in argentina, and sometime while surfing the web with 4G i lose network connection and reconnects itself after a few secs, someone has experienced that? The Screen is a little yellowish all over white colours, normal too or what? Thanks A2 Users!

Official ics will be here in a month or so. Hopefully sooner. The yellowish colors for the screen are normal for this phone.

Hi. And, welcome to the community..
It's a good device, but it has a locked bootloader which prevents us from installing truly custom roms or custom kernels. But, as you will notice, the guys around here can do some pretty cool stuff with what limited capabilities we've got. (The unlock you are referring to is the subsidy unlock for different carriers, I assume).
Yes, depending on your definition of soon, the official ICS is coming soon-ish (my guess is august for the at&t us builds). And simply rooting, should have no impact on receiving or installing the official ota update - it's the other stuff you do with root that screws up the install of the ota - but we have ways to fix up your system for the ota..
Never been to Argentina, but I have experienced bad data connections depending where I'm at.
The yellowish color is not normal. At least mine doesn't look yellow. And since yours came stock 2.3.6 (most come 2.3.5 out of the box), and it's sim is unlocked, so it may be refurbished or slightly used.. not sure what causes the yellow.. do you have a screen guard that discolors it?
Hope that helps. Good luck with everything.

Is it normal? Did I just get used to it maybe?

I've never noticed a "yellow" tint, but I do have some darkish blotches in the center of where my keyboard would appear that may be from mashing the screen too hard while angry texting crazy girls...

Wow! So many replies in just Minutes.. Thanks a lot, i feel confortable asking here now. First of all its Sim Unlocked, you can use it with any carrier. About "Yellowish" tint all over, is hard to tell when it is noticeable, for example, when you surf in Google Play, while loads the screen of a selected app, you can see the background the yellowish tint is a bit noticeable, also in Wifi settings and others, but colors in photos and everything is perfectly normal.. Probably i'm a bit daltonic or paranoid. I'm happy to know that our phone will have ICS in August, i think the wait will worth, i saw Droid Razr running ICS and, OMG so smooth, so perfect..! The only i complain about is about the stock browser, wich provides a laggy experience -.- but overall performance is good! I like the build quality, its a very good looking phone, looks very professional and feels like a premium phone. Not like the cheap plastics Samsung GS2 i own, it feels like a toy compared to A2! I'm uploading photos of the phone right now.

I agree, it feels like a good quality piece of hardware. Oh, and August was just my guess, the official word from Moto is Quarter 3, which goes until like late September I think.. so who actually knows..
As for browsers, yup, the stock GB browser is horrible in my opinion also.. I'm sticking with Boat Browser - keeps getting updates and getting better. Also, Firefox is available for GB, and for ICS, you can get Chrome (but it's still pretty bare bones - plus the stock ics browser uses chrome parts I believe..). Just try a few out, and you'll find a nice replacement browser...

I noticed it instantly the first time i turned it on, i'm getting used to this anyways. It wasn't confortable at first.. Thought it could be a defect.

First off.. WELCOME! The A2 is a great phone and I hope you're happy with it
We have plenty of great devs here that make amazing things happen for this phone.
ALSO if you really don't like the yellowish tint try this:
