Verizon green-lights HTC Thunderbolt’s Ice Cream Sandwich update

Posted on 01/02/2013 by Alexis Santos

Sweet relief from Gingerbread is finally here for HTC Thunderbolt owners who haven't jumped ship or upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich without Verizon's blessing. Big Red's finally approved Android 4.0.4 laced with Sense 3.6 for the device and is serving it up for download. In addition to souping up the hardware with increased stability and the features you've come to expect with ICS, the upgrade removes the Verizon, BlockBuster, Rhapsody, and Mobile IM apps from the smartphone. Ready to welcome your ~~lightning rod for bad luck~~ phone to 2011? Mosey over to your handset's system update section to check for the fresh build.
