That makes no sense, that would add unneeded cost to a phone that wouldn't be able to utilize the technology until 2011. Customers will feel cheated after they purchase the phone and realize that their LTE-ready phone has no LTE network to take advantage of.

I was looking for info about release date and major sporting event. At first I thought masters but AT&T is sponsoring that. Maybe the NBA playoffs in May? Not sure who the sponsors are for that. If they decide to got that rout prob a bigger audience to market to if they go that route.

You have got to be one of the most bad ass grandmothers I have ever encountered. Ma'am, I salute you.
For this discussion, a load is a complete package of software including an Android OS build, apps, default settings, etc. At this late stage in the process, its highly unlikely that there are any functional changes in the load. Best practise is to freeze the feature function stuff well before release, and to restrict changes to bug fixes.
So, the best guess [with a slathering of heresay sauce] is that the Android build we saw on 24 March is the final bugfix build which has been incorporated into the new software load and is now being tested.
- If the testing confirms that all the known bugs are fixed [and nothing new rears its ugly head] then the new load would become the release load.
- Production can them start stamping them out and shipping them to VZW for sale.
- The announcement and marketing roll-out could start at the same time.
We wont have an announcement until the testing is done and the final software image [aka release load] is frozen. VZW won't have stock until HTC delivers product with the final software image loaded.
If they are sitting boxed up in Taiwan does that mean they have to unbox the thousands of them and update them and re-box? Or are the phones not mass produced yet?
I do know that HTC has a process in place to load devices that have already been produced but not shipped.

mmmmm...
Somehow, I'm both very excited and content enough to patiently wait for this device (deep breath). This will clearly be the best phone I have ever owned, and likewise an upgrade in cell phone networks.
Having read the vast majority of this forum further drives the point home that all of our sleuthing, dreaming, opining, wishing, whatever... will not bring this device to market or my VZW store any sooner. I'm okay with that, because it will be worth the wait.
