It looks like the OTA has started. Just finished updating wife's and mine TB after a manual check

Post your phone number and we'll call and leave a voicemail message so you can test it...

Manual check and downloaded fine, very long time for software to install and reboot. Initially looks good.

Of course I have to live in an the part of the Bay Area of SF that still doesn't have 4g so it's taking forever to download.

Whats new with this OTA?

What is NAME: Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_2.11.605.3-1.70.605.0

[panther2469]

Anyone else have the messages icon for voicemail with the GB

 

[Kazu]

Gingerbread Update Build 2.11.605.3, you might be getting the top secret build that turns your phone into a transformer.

 

[panther2469]

Downloaded... check your phones

Just checked the update setting and pulled down the ota, unfortunately my battery is to low to install so charging it up now...

 

[dilillo]

I updated about an hour ago, after all this talk, I feel like the GB update was kinda meaningless? What is so different?

 

[mh68]

i manually checked, started the download, lost my data connection so the download failed and now when I check manually it says now software update available???

@ Dilillo I know this is ridiculous, no sense 3.0, no task manager, no htc hub, verizon's change log is trash I don't see anything from that other than the os, and radio. Wow what bs this is! I should of stayed with my htc sensation from tmobile that had everything and a much better phone (not as good service, but at least the phone was up to date/with better hardware features). Way to go... a new os with nothing more than more shit*y bloatware. I unrooted for this and had 2.3.4, 3.0 "punching myself in face!". Can't wait till devs root this and can get back 3.0 and get rid of all the useless bloatware. Htc you dropped the ball on this one.

That just happened to me. I am so mad. It was like 45 minutes into it too. I'm restarting my phone and hopefully it will come back.

I did that and even pulled the battery and it didn't help any, still says no update available!

EDIT: just tried it with my friend he tried it from his computer there was just audio wtf...

Got the update and I could not be happier. There are so many little changes and improvements. My phone used to take upwards of a minute to turn on fully, now it turns on and boots in about five seconds. Happy. Happy. Happy. Zippy. Zippy. Zippy.
