Earlier this evening, there was plenty of excitement as images posted on social media from multiple sources seemed to indicate that T-Mobile customers with the HTC flagship were getting 'Lollipopped.' But T-Mobile's own website shows the update missing the certification and completion stages. We know that John Legere tries to move mountains for his customers, but this would seem to be beyond even Batman. As it turned out, the images were from the Developer Edition of the phone, which has already been updated. False alarm.
However, there is indeed something exciting coming tomorrow for Canadian customers of Telus and Rogers. A tweet from HTC's VP of product management Mo Versi, reveals that those rocking the HTC One (M8) on either carrier will start to receive Android 5.0 on Tuesday. U.S. One (M8) owners should be feeling somewhat hopeful with Monday's news: a false alarm and a legit update starting tomorrow, just over the border.
