HTC Thunderbolt Update Put On Hold, Again

As if that is a surprising statement to read. It would seem that the overly hyped HTC Thunderbolt is not living up to its glorious advertising. With the device still sitting some what uncomfortably on Froyo 2.2 still, it begs the question on how this device got put out so early. The reboot bug that plagued many users took priority over a Gingerbread update and seems to have fixed the issue. During that update though, everyone lost their hot spots ability. Just when you think one problem is resolved another one arises. An email was forwarded to the crew over at Droid-Life. It was sent in by a Thunderbolt user and is from an HTC Rep.

Dear Shannon xxxxx

I understand how important it is to have the latest update for your device. Unfortunately, it is the latest update to 2.3 that is creating this to happen. HTC has pulled back this update to keep future customers from receiving the update. We are working on getting this update fixed, when the update is relaunched you will receive a notification on your device. Unfortunately, there is no estimated time frame on when this issue will be resolved. Shannon, we do apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number.

Sincerely,

Samantha

It’s good to see that they recalled the update to keep from causing further irritation to its users. I wonder why they can’t seem to get it right though. I can only imagine it has something to do with all the bloatware and other garbage that is required by Verizon. That is just my opinion. As you can see in the email, there is no estimated time for the update to be relaunched or available for the Thunderbolt.

Hopefully you guys will see this update before the end of the year. If not, well, you can always root your device and be free from the update debacles that plague all devices.
