Gingerbread for HTC ThunderBolt and Droid Incredible Coming in September
Finally, we have something official about the Gingerbread updates for the HTC ThunderBolt and the Droid Incredible. We’re talking official official here, not just from an HTC rep. But from HTC’s Facebook page which has just confirmed that Android 2.3 or some variation of it will be arriving for both of these beautiful phones at some point during the month of September.
One look at the calender reveals that today is August 31st and that means that the countdown for Gingerbread begins tomorrow. Let’s hope that it doesn’t drag on until the end of the month.
The simple statement from HTC finally puts rumors about the HTC ThunderBolt’s Gingerbread status to rest and unfortunately confirms that the Droid Incredible’s update was delayed but will still be rolling out.
Here is the statement for those interested:
We’re pleased to announce that both DROID Incredible and ThunderBolt at Verizon will be receiving an update to Gingerbread in September. Thanks for your support!
Remember, the Droid Incredible’s update was supposedly going to roll out this month but then was delayed because of a bug.
So, how’s it feel to finally have a date ThunderBolt and Incredible owners? Probably feels pretty good.
HTC is turning into PALM. Let’s release a phone and promote it as the best thing ever. Instead of supporting it and updating it, lets just release another phone with the features the last phone needed and force those idiots to buy another phone.
sounds like Apple.

I remember having the update issues with the cliq. when we finally got 1.6 everyone else was running 2.0 and 2.2 was starting to roll out when 2.1 was released…. that’s why I just went with the new EVO… I am happy with it although the Bionic looks amazing!
I predict another delay.
If the new software isn’t out by the last day of Q3, how about everyone who is disappointed goes into a verizon store and punches an employee in the face once a day until they release the new software?
IIt’s all bull crap until it actually gets here. I have read so many times that gingerbread will be rolling out soon.
Oh my god I can’t believe it I got an iPhone and they included a free car just so I could listen to my tunes just go to shutdfuk.com and they’ll hook u up.
