We didn't think it was possible. We thought it was abandoned, left on the side of the road where no one would ever find it. Yet here, through the fog, a light comes shining through: Verizon is actually releasing Ice Cream Sandwich for the HTC Thunderbolt. Assuming that users haven't already thrown theirs into a lake by now.
Thunderbolt owners should be pleased. When it lands, it will be about 395.6MB, so you should probably hop on WiFi. We've reached out to Verizon to find out just when it should be rolling out. When we know, you will.
Excellent!
Alas, everybody who would care has probably moved on by now.
Nah, I'm pretty sure all the early adopters of the Tbolt have donated them to wives and offspring.
We have two Tbolts in the drawer and can't sell them for a dime.
Just checking the htc thunderbolt is pretty much the same as the first htc evo but with a little more ram and lte instead of wimax right?
FYI, you also can't upgrade them to the ICS ota without an active SIM card installed.
On a side note, they did remove several bloatware apps, but also added the Verizon spyware app.

Verizon spyware app?
Still using my tbolt unfortunately.

to remotely view the users device for device training, application
demonstrations and troubleshooting.
+ Improved device stability will decrease device resets.
+ Verizon Apps, Blockbuster, Rhapsody, Verizon Video and Mobile IM

No this is not true. It uses a second generation Snapdragon processor(Evo uses a first gen) and also has a massively more powerful graphics chip than the Evo. It also came with a 32GB microSD card, a SuperLCD display, and significantly better cameras. People are free to hate a phone for whatever weird reason they want but spreading misinformation is never acceptable.
It was a fine phone at the time it just had poor battery life due to the combination of a first gen LTE radio and a regular sized battery. It was then and still is better than phones like the iPhone 4.

Holy crap!
If you had asked me for odds at the beginning of the year as whether this update would make it to release, I would have told you to go play the lottery instead. I can't believe they actually bothered to finish it.
They should have let the thunderbolt just go away, this news just reminds everyone how late HTC is with updates
Me using the words "just checking" and ending the remark with a "?" means I am spreading misinformation? I was specifically asking for information
