Is Verizon The Last Carrier In The World To Upgrade To 10.1?

Have to say I really, REALLY, feel for my US cousins on Verizon waiting for the update. In the UK on EE I've had, I think, 4 or 5 updates since February and I'm currently running the official 10.1.0.2312 release. It's more than buttery smooth - lag is non-existent.

So, I just wondered, and I know it doesn't help you much right now if you are on Verizon but, after ATT and T-Mobile have recently, belatedly, released their update, is Verizon, the (seemingly to an outsider) biggest carrier in the US, the last carrier in the world to release 10.1 to it's Z10 users?

If not, it feels like it!

Sounds like it is last. Shocking given that Verizon is such a generally well regarded provider. I don't get it.

apart from VZW i don't think there is any other CDMA carrier which is on the Z10 right now. therefore it's now up to VZW's decision on when to release the OS. i know it's such a pain in the a** and it's really unfair..

Just feel it isn't a priority for Verizon to get the update done.

Really? I hope so! I understand it's the US's biggest network, you can't recommend the thing if it keeps rebooting and when you get the update, it's great!

Funny enough, their "how to update" site says that 10.1.0.1762 (.278) is in the pipeline, but their software update notice says that 10.1.0.2050 (.2014) is coming out.

Of course, neither of them will come anytime soon, because VZW's too busy figuring out how to poke a hole in it to let the NSA through.

Yes Verizon is the last for updating anything not only the Z10 also android they are last

The Verizon update was set to release last week, but they pulled it after apparently finding issues with text messaging. This was allegedly the same problem that prompted AT&T to pull their 10.1 update after already releasing it. As another poster has said, currently no ETA on the new release date.

Yup...being a VZW customer of 15 yrs...all I gotta say is THANK YOU CB, and "Kris" for allowing me to load the wonderful OS's.....not gonna wait for my carrier to release especially since it is a brand new os...QNX...on a mobile platform that NEEDS these updates.

You are quite welcome

Actually, there's like this one carrier in Puerto Rico (Claro) which is still on 10.0.10.85, but it's still doing better than Verizon...

They are notorious for this problem!

As another poster mentioned it is my understanding that VZW tested 10.1 and found several bugs. The update was pushed back to BlackBerry to address the issues. Fingers crossed, soon.
