Remember the HTC Thunder Bolt apparently Verizon forget about the smartphone too. HTC announced today that the Thunderbolt will be getting the ICS treatment. And as for the delay HTC is throwing Verizon under the bus.
So the manufacturer is passing the buck to the service provider, but let users on its Facebook page know that it is still thinking of them.
The Thunderbolt gained a lot of praise and attention because it was the firstphone capable of tapping into Verizon’s brand new high speed data network.
It is that phone that would kick off a whirlwind of LTE madness, to the point where now every single major carrier is developing its own LTE network. It has become the de facto 4G standard in the US.
Ice Cream Sandwich is one of the biggest updates to Android yet, and includes such features as scanning your face to unlock the phone, a much more robust speech-to-text software program, and an entire platform of data sharing that focuses on Near Field Communication (NFC).
Several other manufacturers have pledged support for the new update, and a bunch of phonescurrently running an older version of Android.
