How the hell are you people convincing verizon to to replace your rezounds with gs3s? They wouldn't budge when I tried over and over. All they would give me was a nexus but damn I wish it was a gs3

What's wrong with your rezound?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Nothing I just want aosp without data drop issues. Figured I'd try and get a free upgrade while I was at it since I saw so any others having success. O well I'll just take the nexus.

I'd like to try that. How many replacements did you get?
Also how did you go about asking?
I would love a nexus. They're like iPhones. Easy to sell.

1 and i just *****ed about data drops even though i knew if i flashed
sense it would be fine. And what I said was I really like my resound is there any comparable phones? They offered me a nexus. When I knew that was in the bag I mentioned gs3 but they wanted nothing to do with that lol. Also I said I looked online and saw loads of people with same problem on rezound.

Well lucky you but I've done all that since release. Although with aphs new bamf rom I get no data drops but idc I still would rather have a nexus.thanks for Tue suggestions though I'd def try it if I hadn't done so already. Aokp was always unstable for me although it very well could be fixed now but I still don't care I want nexus lol and I'll just make up bull**** about that phone get a few replacements and let them offer me a gs3. Yes I know its not honest so feel free to flame people idc verizon is far from honest. If they didn't wanna screw me out of unlimited data then I would Gladly pay for a gs3 but no they wanna screw me and everyone else so I'll screw them right back for free upgrades. Do two wrongs make a right? No. Do I care? Hell no

Just FYI Verizon will mark your account the more you call in asking for the s3 as a replacement just a heads up :good:.
My TB broke and they sent me a nexus, I hated it. The antenna inside is terrible compared to rezound. I went through 3 of them and I had to ***** in order to get a rezound.

I'm not saying rezound antenna isn't better but if u had problems with nexus service then the area u live in must not have good service because they work great where I live.

They didn't offer me a nexus. They just offered me a razr. Obviously I was like that phone isn't even in the same league why would I accept that. So they're sending me yet another rezound. Hopefully this one won't have issues. It will be the 5th or 6th one.
Edit: I actually got online and looked at phones while on the phone with her. She also offered an LG phone and said that might be an upgrade (rofl). The nexus is 150 dollars less.. heck even the GS3 is 50 dollars less. The only phone I see comparable is the nexus(by a stretch) and the GS3 (by a smaller stretch), both are cheaper. It doesn't make much sense to me.

The specs matter, not the price. If you can get a better phone for a better price, why not? GS3 has awesome specs.

Similar cameras, same processor speed, same resolution, worse screen, Samsung radios... What else do they look at? Nothing else matters to me at this point. HD screen with comparable cameras and 1.5ghz dual core. The lady I spoke with obviously didn't have a clue, though. When I used to do this I had a tier list of phones and the "upgrades" would cost an extra amount. Does Verizon work like that? I don't mind at all paying extra money. But I don't feel like I should have to pay full retail to get a phone that's comparable when I've had to deal with all of this BS.
I bought this phone off contract maybe that's what she was saying, that I'd have to upgrade on-contract or something.

Yeah but the GS3 has an Adreno 225 GPU vs. Rezound's 220. And about the processor, the devs were able to get it up to like 1.9 GHz. Not to mention the amazing camera. And it has CM10. But I agree with you, those Verizon spokespeople really do blow. I was inquiring about a nexus 4 (I know, I know) and they really didn't have a clue what I was taking about. At this point I'd feel like I was qualified to work there, if they paid better of course.

I'm not denying the GS3 has better CPU and GPU but, 9 times out of 10 they don't know that... For arguments sake I could just say 1.5ghz dual core (since that's all they have on the spec list) 8mp cam/2mp front. I'm just trying to figure out how they consider it an upgrade. It sounded like it was solely because it is newer, which is kind of a stupid thing to argue lol.
I just basically told her that's the only one I would accept as a replacement and that everything else was too much of a downgrade, she said something about it just came out a few months ago and that was it. I pretty much just made sure she knew that the razr and LG phone was taken as a joke lol. I asked her if the razr was even HD and she said "the battery will probably last longer" and I'm like um ok? So? My battery last me all day no problem and that I don't really care about that. I said I care more about how ugly the screen is than anything lol.
She didn't say much, idk if she just didn't know or if she was avoiding my questions. It was almost laughable.
I didn't think to ask, though, if there would be an upgrade cost, or anything like that. I don't really want to go sign a contract just to get a phone that functions ya kno? Lol. Plus idk if they can give me my 4gigs of data and unlimited minute/messaging thing that I have now. Will they keep me in the same plan if I sign a contract or do I have to sign to a new plan? Would you know?

I don't disagree, I agree with you entirely. I'm not sure about the upgrade fee but I'm pretty sure that you'd keep your original plan.

So, with the chance of getting flamed or... flaming myself depending on the reaction to this. SprintFeed apparently got word that the Galaxy S II will be hitting Sprint first, on September 9th, ahead of all other carriers.
http://www.sprintfeed.com/2011/08/rumor-samsung-epic-touch-4g-releasing-september-9th/
There is the link.
Just thought any defectors would like the heads up. I personally am sticking with my 3Devo.
From the screenshots it looks to be the same phone. No concrete answer on if it's packing a Snapdragon which had been rumored or if it's sticking with Exynos. *Shrug* guess we shall find out.
Awesome, can't wait. Jk Samsung sucks.

Damn Sprint is on a roll. Hopefully they get the Nexus Prime when it comes out. That's the only phone I'm interested in. The GS2 should of came out earlier. Samsung waited to long in my opinion, But nevertheless Sprint has a good line up this year.

Yeah, the only reason I can see why they waited was because of the pressure from Apple and it's "your phone looks like mah phone!" 6-year old meltdown of a lawsuit that has been going on. I dunno.
Any defectors are probably hanging out in the sgs2 forum where apparently the op needs to be.

I was going to go the SGS2 route but it's just too little too late. The E3D in modded form can outpace a stock SGS2 easily...and the nPrime is right around the corner.
I used to love HTC and I've really grown to like the E3D General forum, y'all is cool peoples (most of the time)...but aside from the unlock fiasco I can't stand the ****ty radio and the strange behavior when powering on/off really makes me feel like one day it won't turn back on again....especially when I've seen it happen right in front of me.
...but I sure as hell will not post a thread here about it. Nothin' personal OP, just sayin'...

Well, I know a lot of people aren't happy with the Evo 3D, I decided to drop this nugget and see how it went. Like I said, I'm happy with my evo. My Radios don't suck too bad, only thing I have issue with is a Black SOD every 9hrs when using a custom kernel... which I can workaround with a stock kernel.
You're post is a little confusing. so... you're waiting for the nPrime?. that's how it sounded. That's looking to be an October release, it's being made by Samsung too. Which I find odd, I would think Motorola would be involved. I know it was just recently announced that Google was going to buy them, but...I assumed it was in the making to be some big lead up. oh well, probably next year.
I'd think I'd like it more if it didn't look like the iPhone had a retarded son.

Thank god I don't get the Black SOD...
Yeah, I'm waiting for the nPrime. It's being made by Samsung which, while at first really put me off but I did sport an NS4G for a few weeks last month. Aside from feeling cheap and too light--which most people wouldn't see as a down side--it was actually a fantastic phone. Great battery life, phenomenal camera and an unmatched Android experience. It did have the traditionally weak Samsung radio, but, it seems that you can't escape that anymore.
...and so far as Motorola is concerned Google has assured it's partners that the bidding process for the Nexus line would in fact remain the same. Google is saying all but "listen, we bought MMi for the patents. The Set-top-box and mobile manufacturing is just a plus, that we don't intend to use." Of course time will tell how true that is. For the time being I believe them.
However a Motorola built Nexus would probably be fantastic as long as they ditch that ****ty Pentile screen technology. I bet they would have class leading radios and battery life too.

Yea MOTO isn't far from being a great phone manufacturer..they do have pretty good build quality and their radios are bar none..they have been in that game for a while..ditch all MOTO blur or map and the pentile..add some Google magic and we could have a winner in a few months.

Agreed. Their designs are a bit stodgy looking, but their hardware (aside from those horrible screens and penchant for keyboards) is rock solid. They nearly invented cellular mobile phone technology. They have been doing mobile communications for as long as there has been a commercial mobile communications market. Their radios are fantastic. Build quality is always awesome. How many OG Droids do you still see around? Tons...and I have seen a lot that are beaten to death physically but still kicking ass, 2nd hand, 3rd hand...that says quite a bit.
Without knowing anything about the contents of their patent portfolio I am confident that it contains thousands of very relevant patents. I can't wait to see Google's next move.
I came from the Epic 4G to the Evo 3D. The main thing about Samsung was there slowwwwww release of updates. The Epic 4G rolled out with Eclair, took a while to get Froyo and is still awaiting Gingerbread. This really seem slow down ROM and kernel development. HTC seems pretty spot on with their OS updates.
I am waiting to see if Samsung support for their phones has improved. If it has, maybe I would consider going back. Until then, my Evo 3D is the shizzle.

because other than side stepping to a processor of the same (possibly marginally better) quality, they're removing half the internal storage and scrapping the fingerprint scanner. the fingerprint scanner being removed is the one thing that is really causing me to dislike it.
not to mention, the whole 'Atrix 2' on a phone that isn't really an upgrade at all is kind of pathetic on Moto's part =\

Okay, I can understand that. I'm going to have to get a bigger SD card, no biggie, I like Apps2SD anyways. The fingerprint scanner isn't of importance to me. But yea, I wasn't much aware of all of this. I think I'm just captivated by how beautiful the vivid screen and HD video recording looks.

i don't use the camera enough to bother; if i want to take pictures or record video, i'll get a camera for that. also, i put a lot of music and movies on my phone so every bit of space counts. i filled up my 16GB external SD card with music alone; that's only 10GB (or is it 12? i dunno, i know the system and webtop reserve some space i'm just not sure at the moment, really tired) of space on my internal for backups of my device, apps, more music, and movies. not a lot of space when you think of it.
and the fingerprint scanner was the whole reason i got the Atrix in the first place; i loved the idea of being able to lock my phone and me being the only person with access to it. i keep my phone plugged into a speaker system at work; it's in a room that i can't go to a lot since i'm busy in the kitchen cooking. this way i know for a fact that no one will mess around inside my phone. also being able to use Data Defender to lock out people from my apps is a huge seller for me; i also frequently allow other people to see my phone

I understand completely. So, since I've been phoneless for a while I'm kind of out of the loop, the SGN is coming out Nov. 11 and will be available for ATT, correct? If so, it'll be within my 30 return policy.
EDIT: Or I'm misinformed and the 30 day policy is regarding my contract, not the phone. Not sure how ATT goes about new phone returns.

So, if my A2 was $50 on contract and the SGN is i.e. $100 on contract I pay a restocking fee and $50. How much do restocking fees usually cost? And thanks for all your help. This is the first time I've had my own cell phone plan. Treading new waters here.

We don't know what carrier will get the galaxy nexus yet. I'm thinking Verizon though. I'd lover for at&t to get it though
And you should be able to swap out phones if you pay the restocking fee and the difference between the two phones

Sweeeeet! I hope I'm correct in saying the SGN is by far the best choice of a phone for a while. I won't mind my A2 in the mean time.
EDIT: Oh, and my only complaint about this phone is the button placement. I don't know if it's just me, but I'm use to the home button being on the far left, whereas it's the second one and the far left is the menu button, which, for whatever reason, looks like an app drawer button.

Ask a dev! Just know your in the wrong place, maybe its the closest, but its still the Atrix forums not the Atrix 2 forums. If you want a forum for you phone, request it from a dev.
Edit: its getting late, i meant ask a mod lol. A moderator can create the forum for you.

No need for an apology its cool. But no its not okay to post here unless your asking about an Atrix! The Atrix 2 is a dif phone. Thanks.
I'm loving my phone, my BB torch takes quicker pics and does better under lower light. The detail on the camera pics are amazing! Videos recording is nice as well. B. Just sold it to best buy for 122 bucks. Picked up a 16 micro sd card and now I'm set. Just release some cases please!

If you are within 30 days there is no restocking fee but you still have to pay the activation fee if it is a new line at least, or maybe there is a small restocking fee if it is an upgrade. Not sure exactly how the upgrade process works all I know is that is how a New Line works. Also there have been multiple people requesting a place for the Atrix 2 and it still doesn't exist so this is the closest place we have to post questions and such.

i was told i could return my phone for a 30 dollar restocking fee, and pick another one and only pay the difference in price (if i chose a cheaper phone, i would get money back instead)
Probably different because mine was an add a line and got it from Best Buy. That's my assumption.

IDK, it doesn't make sense why the Galaxy Nexus had it's own forum, and its a newer phone. It might be more popular, but Samsung phones IMO get more love for their own forums here.

I think it is because everyone is scared of its size. I have one and love it. Stopped traveling with my tablet cause I got this. I admit it is big but not so big as to not be able to fit in my pocket. Everyone says "Oh you got that huge Android Phone." and then ask if they can see it. Once it is in their hands they say that it feels good in their hand and then they like it. It seems that the talk on the blogs and reviews about it being too big has keep a lot of people from even looking at it even though my contacts at ATT say it is flying out the stores.

Att and Samsung are advertising pretty hard for it. I think once people realize how portable it really is, they will consider it. I still get a few jeers from my friends, followed by them admitting it is a pretty sweet device.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I wonder what the percentages of the below are, when discussing iPhone users:
1. Aware that AT&T allows them to upgrade at 18 months
2. Aware that having an iPhone no longer makes you "cool"
3. Are of the age where they can buy the phone on their own without parental involvement
4. Are aware of what they are lacking with the iPhone
5. Care that their iOS device is at best outdated
Regarding number 3 - I knew the iPhone lost its caché when I was at the movies and saw an eleven-year-old (!) with one. At that time I'd already jumped to Android but my wife still had her iPhone 3G and wanted an iPhone 4. I gave her a good ribbing about wanting a phone that even kids have nowadays.
I remember her needing a new phone and pay through the nose for the original RAZR., so the idea was not lost on her - I think she'll go android on our next upgrade date - she's already entertaining it.
Her trepidation stems from her unfamiliarity with the Android interface - I assure her that she can make it whatever she wants, and even recently showed her a video of Espier launcher; I think that sealed the deal, so come August she might have a better (but not bigger!) phone than I have.
I think cause its still new and its a bit over priced.
Definitely because it's just a new device. The Streak was the first mainstream "phablet", but due to a lack of advertising and outdated software, it never took off for anybody that wasn't familiar with the dev work for it. I think the trend set by this phone combined with good software, great specs, and heavy advertisement by Samsung will make the Note line of phones very popular in the future.
The Note already is selling well, as the ATT store I bought mine from only had one white and no blue ones left when I bought mine...lucky me I wanted white. And I live in Northern Minnesota, which you could say is less tech savvy than a lot of places in the US. Goes to show Samsung has a potential gold mine on their hands if they push this market. Right now, you could say it's a niche device, but I think it's going to turn into a mainstream class of devices.
Everybody who has asked me about my phone is absolutely stunned by it. First, they laugh at its size and ask what the hell it is. Then I tell them it's the Galaxy Note, and explain some things about it, highlighting the 720p screen and SPen. They are impressed by that, but then ask, how the hell do you fit it in your pocket or carry it?! If I know them, I invite them to put it in their pocket and feel the size. They are wowed by how big they screen is, yet how portable and pocketable it really is. By the time I am a done showing them everything, their opinion is completely changed, and they admit it's an awesome device. The only people who say they wouldn't want it themselves are Apple loyalists, who argue that their integration and iCloud make it so they could never use anything but an iPhone. I tell those people that they're being ignorant, because you can do basically ask if that just as well, if not better with Android and Google apps. Even still, they admit if they weren't an iPhone/MacBook user, they would like the Note. I have not seem a single person who dislikes this phone so far.
Just show off your device every chance you get, and eventually people will realize how amazing devices like this really are, and realize their full potential.

The size of this phone freaks people out at first. I remember after getting this phone and taking it with me to work, every student I had was drawn to it like they didn't know what to think. It was comical to watch them all take turns seeing if it would fit in their pocket.
Despite the initial skepticism that they would like a phone this size, a vast majority of the students after messing with it for a second really liked it.
Same thing happened at the bi-monthly staff meeting. It was even funnier than the students...watching a bunch of adults playing pass the phone down the line game. Several of the teachers have either now went out and got this phone or are going to use it as their next upgrade.
I will say that I kinda enjoy having a phone that's not super common

I have seen two others both in the airports while traveling. Most people who notice my phone have seen the ads in one form or another. They know you can write on it!
EDIT: I send this original message while at my son's karate practice. I was sitting there and this very attractive Asian lady comes up and asks me if that I the Galaxy Note. I later found out she is Korean and loves Samsung and Android. She has a Vibrant on T mobile and say she heard they just hacked the GNote for T mobile...I was blown away at this girls knowledge of phones etc. Of course I let her play with my phone!
I then told her she should get a pink GNote and she googles it and you would have thought I was her hero...it was pretty wild how excited she got about a pink GNote although I do not believe it is out yet.
Pretty cool story regarding a simple ole phone!

I've only seen one other person, I was in line at a hibachi grill and while waiting for food the guy beside me pulled out his note, was using the flip-open battery cover case that AT&T has. We chatted for a minute or so while waiting for food, he came from the Pre and was disappointed how WebOS turned out, and said it took him a few days to get used to the size, he's still learning Android, asked me about a few things like do things "crash" all the time, etc, told him I have yet to see a single crash out of mine.
Cool thing was, when he first pulled it out I didn't say anything because he was getting into his calendar and looking up some events, added an event between them to someone and sent off the invite. He was getting along pretty good, and didn't want to disturb him while he was doing work.
Besides myself, I know of 3 other guys where I work with one plus I've ran into a couple other people with one at restaurants. The guy at the local AT&T told me they sold out the first day, so there should be several of them around here.
I have yet to see one in the wild. But any pol look at mine just like you guys shared. I love the attention from the girls looking at it.

too many sheeple that think that because everyone else has one, they have to have one to "stay cool".
I've always considered myself an INDIVIDUAL. I don't buy things based on what everyone else does. Almost to a fault, I'll go the opposite direction of "trendy" things. Hell, I still (when I can find them) wear the same style Nike White with red "swoosh" leather Cortez shoes (the ones like from back to the future). I've worn them since 1976....why...BECAUSE THEY ARE D*MN COMFORTABLE. Same thing with how I dress, my opinions etc. If you don't like it, tough, it's how I am. I got a Dell streak in Oct 2010 because I thought a 5" screen would be a benefit to me, and I was right, too bad Dell & at&t didn't market it. When I heard Sammy would have one, couldn't wait to get it. And I'm right, it's PERFECT for me. The sheeple can squint at their TINY screens all they want and look cool, at least my eyes don't have to squint.

Can my SGH I777 get 4G LTE speeds?
i bet if you did a basic search you would find that the i777 is NOT an LTE device, since, you know, it doesnt have the HARDWARE to support LTE.....

Somewhere I was aware it was not even a full 4G phone, but at the moment i'm just a bit pissed off because of that. I should have waited for the skyrocket. Sorry for the extra thread.

I am also looking to get an i777 or i727. For me the deciding factor is battery life. For those of you that have owned both, can you compare the battery life of these two phones on stock, using the same custom ROMs, etc? I did do searches for comparisons, but not many people are clear that they have owned both phones and used them under similar conditions.
Thanks in advance.

No man he's totally right which is why I can easily pull 6mbps down from Speakeasy and their WEBSITE speed test hehe.
If you can't pull more then 2mbps on your LTE network uhh you either a) live in a crappy city where everyone and their mother is on the network or b) ATT doesn't have LTE where you live.
Has nothing to do with the phone or any website. If I'm on H+ and not on my home wifi I can only get my max speeds at like 11pm when no one else is on their phone.

Thanks for the info, but I already know that rooting and debloating helps with battery life. Who I want to hear from are people that have had both the i777 and the i727, and how the battery life compares under similar conditions, including while stock and while using custom ROMs.
Most people who have posted about battery life on one or the other phone were not clear that they owned both at one time or another.
Another factor is that I live near, but not actually in an LTE area. Does the skyrocket battery last longer when not in LTE? I expect that the majority of my time will be in a non LTE area.
Again, I already know all the pros and cons between the i777 and i727 EXCEPT how they compare battery wise (in actual usage, not on paper). That will be the deciding factor for me.
Thanks again for reading.
I have an i777 and my wife has a skyrocket...I use mine probably twice as much playing games and browsing the web and always seem to have better battery life by 20 percent or better...also if you are going to spend most of your time in an non lte area I would recommend the i777... More roms, better battery..and to be honest..in non lte area a better speed...don't know why but it is....

Feel free to submit your thoughtful replies. Immature, irrational comments will be ignored.
I don't really disagree with your assessment. Over the last year and a half vzw has turned into att lite, and HTC has just screwed its customers every chance it has gotten. It left the EVO view/flyer, jetstream on their current buggy ass builds of hc, they've might as well given up on updating their phones, as they wait so bloody long to do so, then they have bowed to vzws every demand. I will definitely be leaving both Verizon and HTC at the end of the year when the new nexus device hits. (assuming it does hit then) to me it seems like vzw got the iphone and immediately quit worrying about how to bring in new customers and keep their current ones happy. I'm probably going to go to tmo and stick with unlocked unbranded phones.

Just because you put a custom rom on doesn't me it voided your warranty its a possibility but not a guarantee if you know what your doing. I agree with most your points, but I got the phone for $150 off CL (because he wanted an ics device instead, LOL) so not only did I get a great deal on a mint condition phone because it didn't have ics on it but then I went home and slapped it on myself from xda. So in a way I kinda like that Verizon/Htc hasn't released ics yet. Plus its cool knowing your one of only a few thousand people that have a rezound with ics. I just wished the would give up the source code for the kernel already.
At this point the only way I'm buying another HTC phone is if it is a Nexus device. After coming from the Motorola "OG" Droid, I can't stand the indifference these companies seem to have towards us. If HTC would've been more communicative with us, telling us what is going on instead of giving us some vague release date, I might've given them some credit.
Poop!

It doesn't matter if this was a Samsung, Motorola, or LG, all companys treat their customers this way. Seems to be an industry standard. All big red does is interfere with this further with all the bloat they require. All I'm saying is HTC is not unique in how they handle themselves. I started with a Samsung Omnia (windows based), then got a Fascinate, Charge, and now Rezound. The Rezound is hands down the best phone I've had. Both the Fascinate and Charge suffered radio problems and if you read the Nexus forums they complain about the same thing. This also steered me away from the SGIII. Still a Samsung product.
Just my 2 cents......

While I agree that the rezzy is by far the best, I still wish I hadn't further supported HTC due to the way they are handling the tablet issue, and now the updates on the Rezound. And honestly I don't hold my breath for us getting jb. Honestly I think it will be like the tbolt is right now with Ics. Just a functional rom without a cellular modem. Which is sad given how incredibly much I like the phone itself. But the only way to get (insert mobile headset maker here) attention is to stop buying their products they won't support once they leave the shelf. And Verizon lost me when they axed unlimited data grandfathering. But then won't give me a discount for not buying a subsidized device. (ala tmo) so, I just can't continue to support companies that continually screw us the customer over.

Why do people get so "angry" or "furious" because there's no software update and says the manufacturer is horrible? Last time I checked the rezound cane out of the box with everything working. It's funny how people want everything....patience is key.
The update is a luxury not a necessity. Should I get mad at Microsoft because Windows 8 isn't out officially. The product they already released does everything I need for the time being.
Also, why would you want a company to rush a product? Try rushing your barber to finish your haircut quickly and see what happens. It seems very childish to get mad at a manufacturer for a SIMPLE update that is coming SOON.
The people of today...always wanting everything NOW.

I think some of it is symptomatic of the market. Handset makers are pushing out new devices every 4 to 6 months, and it stops being cost effective to update them all. Which sucks for us, but it makes good business sense.
If they would only push out source, RIL included, it just wouldn't matter.

All that you're saying sounds good and all but that argument is tired. If htc says we're giving ics, we expect it. And with barbers you see progress and know it's happening. You don't see him pausing your haircut after telling you 2pm to go work on someone elses and then coming back to your at damn near 1:58. Or him giving you a fresh haircut then ignoring you after you ask him to touch up your hairline after you paid him.

Flame if you want. When I read today's article on Droid-Life.com I had to unload. I have absolutely no expectation of this update being released anytime soon or, frankly, ever.
Feel free to submit your thoughtful replies. Immature, irrational comments will be ignored.

It's the whole thing of lying to the consumers that pisses people off, not necessarily the lack of updates IMO. If HTC had never mentioned that we were getting ICS there wouldn't be so much *****ing and moaning because people wouldn't expect it. When I got the Rezound back in November, I was told that it would have it by January. Here we are almost 8 months later with still no update. HTC has had it ready for months but Verizon refuses to push it out until they're ready. It's not the same thing as your Windows 8 analogy because the transition from Windows 7 to Windows 8 is paid for. It'd be more like you buy a computer with Windows 7 and a few months down the road your PC manufacturer says "We're not going to release any new drivers for your hardware, sorry." then MS says "We're not going to release any updates to Windows 7 for you anymore, sorry. Please buy Windows 8 to get the latest bug fixes."
I gotta say HTC and Verizon really ****ed this up. I've had good experiences with HTC before, but they are just so Hit-or-miss that it isnt even funny. Verizon... POS. Come november when my contract is over, I'm going to get whatever is the next nexus device (if its HTC then awesome) on AT&T
I don't really care for the official ICS because I am already enjoying ICS with sense 4 with Newts One XxX. However, it pisses me off to see that the rezound is still without official ICS. I don't think anything can justify this, other than than Verizon trying to promote other phones and not caring about a phone because it was not branded "Droid". The Droid razor already has ICS and I dont see why the Rezound still waiting. And what's more frustrating is the silence of the two companies... They simply don't care about what the customers think...

I would have to say the rezound has been the worst experience I have ever had with a HTC phone. It seems that since the HTC One series drop nothing else matters to HTC. I hate to say it but this may very well be my last HTC handset. I need a phone that I can compile the source on my own I guess.
Edit:
I see a lot of blame on Verizon but I don't believe (and I maybe wrong) any other HTC handsets have ICS either like the EVO3D (were I came from).
Why even push an update now that isn't even an update? It needs to have sense 4, IMO that would make it worth the wait, and get customers more excited and loyal towards HTC products. But nope. Gonna be sense 3.6 lol. Meh w/e they have been shooting themselves in the foot lately. All of them have in a way. Samsung used to be terrible with updates but not so much anymore... Their phones are just iffy, radios and such...

Seriously? Wow...let them keep working on it, I would rather have it bugless. Now I can see why people are strict about not asking for ETAs for their roms.

I don't think they are working on anything. Con247 believes that the last leak was the final version. If he is correct then they (probably Verizon) have been just sitting on it. That to me would be total BS.

Oh I'm almost 100% sure Verizon is the MAIN problem. HTC has probably had it done for quite some time now but I'm sure Verizon keeps rejecting and making them lock stuff down more, while promoting other phones in the meantime. This last leak is almost perfect, and how long have we had it now?
