HTC ThunderBolt release thread

[tjmonkey15]

I remember seeing online somewhere a (leaked?) update road map from HTC saying that the Thunderbolt will get ICS in either Q1 or Q2 of this year. I think I saw this on droid-life.com, but I don't remember, and I'm too lazy to search for it right now. But yeah, I don't think they'll leave the Thunderbolt in the dust just yet.

If an official version isn't released, you can be assured that a ROM will be available (if they don't already exist).

Short answer: HTC has renewed its promise to bring ICS to the TBolt.

I'm looking to pick up an inexpensive smartphone. I like the Thunderbolt, and it's one of the lower priced units right now. Is this a safe phone that won't be obsolete in a few more months. I tend to keep a phone for 2 years or more!

Well, the Rezound is virtually the TBolt 2...

The Rezound is also $199.....I'm trying to stay in the $49-99 range.

I have the thunderbolt for about 4 months and I like but the rezound was out of my price range too. also it is going to get the ICS update probably sometime this year.

Well, that depends on where you get your phone. If you're willing to go third party, you can get a Rezound for < $80.

I just pulled a software update.

Software version shows 2.11.605.19 710RD

It's not ICS, but it's supposed to fix the flaky hotspot and other "enhancements."

So far, so good.

Can anyone recommend a compatible set of bluetooth stereo headphones that will work with the Thunderbolt? Looking for something that can playback music AND make phone calls.

If you looking for more of a headset instead of stereo headphones, I love my plantronics Voyager HD. Really good battery life and I can listen to music while on the go as well effortlessly. The voice commands definitely are a nice touch as well.

So at long last, the update to Android 4.0.4 ICS is being sent out starting today. I wonder if anyone still owns this phone?!

I still carry my ThunderBolt in my left pocket. Overall, it's the best smartphone I've owned. After reading the linked article, I would say you couldn't give me enough money to let them do that to my device.

I am loving this update! At long last, my Thunderbolt runs without a hitch. No connectivity issues, and because it doesn't overheat using WiFi hotspot mode while charging the battery (as my Samsung "GNex" does), it is actually--and I cant believe I'm actually typing this--the T-Bolt is the better and MORE reliable Hotspot. Wow!
