Possibly the worst part about Big Red...

"Oh, you want your OS updated? Well alright then! Here's our newest phones..."

i got the thunderbolt on the first day it became available through wirefly. that contract just came up for upgrade in october, but i wanted to wait until spring to see which devices i could move to, so i'd imagine there are a lot of thunderbolt users out there whose contracts haven't expired yet and many of them haven't yet reached upgrade status.

that said, i don't want the update. i learned the hard way about updating phones with obsolete specs to modern a OS. when apple tricked me into updating my iphone 3g to iOS 4, the thing would hardly run at all because it didn't have the power to run the new OS. it made my final months with the phone awful (and ruined my appetite for apple products). the thunderbolt's been great and i'd hate to have that problem again, so close to the end.

I feel bad for the people with the Thunderbolt. Sense 3.6 is appalling, but then again devs will take advantage of the ICS update and make roms (like CM9 or 10)

I really do feel sorry for anyone who still owns this device. I am happy to have moved onto the galaxy note 2; a real device.

Like I said in a prior comment, the remaining 15 people in the world that still use the Tunderbrick (who haven't rooted) will be ecstatic to finally get ICS. Unfortunately, I just had mine replaced with the Rezound this week. The phone would no longer connect to 3G/4G, then the replacement Brick they sent wouldn't send/receive MMS. I really liked the phone, hopefully the Rezound will be a good replacement. In any case, I'm due for an upgrade...just waiting to pick up the Note2 for $200-$250.
