Ok, not only do Thunderbolt owners still have to put up with piss poor battery life, crappy GPS performance, and the ever present re-booting issues, we now find out that the HTC Droid Incredible 2 is poised to receive Gingerbread (aka Android 2.3) before the supposed flagship Verizon 4G phone. You know the handset that was released over a month earlier than the refreshed non-4G and $50 cheaper Incredible.
Of course I have long since given up waiting for the long ago promised T-Bolt Gingerbread update from Verizon which was supposed to be released last quarter and have moved on to BAMF's wonderful Sense 3.0 ROM on my rooted T-Bolt but I think we can now officially say that HTC and Verizon have totally ruined what could have been an awesome phone.
So while the T-Bolt continues to languish in Verizon hell, I hope all you Incredible 2 users, my wife included, enjoy your soon to be Gingerbread infused phone.
UPDATE: I guess Thunderbolt users aren't being left completely out of the loop. Droid Life has details of a T-Bolt update being pushed out as early as tonight that hopes to fix the random re-booting issue they likely caused or made worse with their last update. It also includes a few more items but obviously, no Gingerbread.
Oh, and if you are rooted, it is suggested that you do not accept this update.
Awesome...more reason for me to hate my Thunderbolt....
