Verizon's HTC One update gets one month delay, tweets HTC executive

It can't be easy for HTC America president Jason Mackenzie to deliver bad news. But the executive took to his Twitter account to tweet the word that the Android 4.3 update for Verizon's HTC One is being delayed by a month. T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T customers with the phone have already received the update.

The tweet from the executive said that the Taiwan based OEM needs more time to re-test the update. Originally, the Verizon branded HTC One was expected to receive Android 4.3 by the end of this month. Verizon continues to earns a reputation as the slowest of the big four carriers when it comes to updates.

This is the second recent disappointment for Verizon customers that Mackenzie passed along by tweet. Back in August, Mackenzie told owners of the Verizon exclusive HTC DROID DNA to expect Android 4.3 before the end of September. Late last month, the whole story changed with a tweet from the executive telling DROID DNA owners that they will receive Android 4.2.2 before the end of the year.
