HTC ThunderBolt gets a software update, but not to Gingerbread

We received word from one of our tipsters that a new software update for the HTC ThunderBolt is now available for download at 73.589MB in size. Unfortunately, the new version 1.70.605.0 (up from 1.13.605.7) still keeps the ThunderBolt at Android 2.2.1 Froyo, not updating it to Gingerbread as we had hoped.

The Verizon support site has not changed yet to show what's all included in this download, but we've heard that it updates the Mobile Hotspot and My Verizon apps to notify the user of data usage, probably due to the new tiered data plans that started yesterday.

If you download the new software for your HTC ThunderBolt, please let us know below.
