TELUS updates its OS update schedule

TELUS doesn’t want to keep its users wondering when their smartphones will updated. Hence the carrier released a list of all devices that will get new software in the coming months. As you’re about to see, not all phones will get the same treatment since the latest version of Android (Ice Cream Sandwich) requires more powerful hardware.

Without further ado, here’s what they got:

Android:

  • HTC Amaze 4G – Ice Cream Sandwich – June 1st (i.e. it should already be out)
  • HTC Desire HD – ICS – July 25th
  • LG Optimus LTE – ICS – Mid July
  • LG Shine Plus – Gingerbread June 12th
  • S.E Xperia Ray – ICS – Late June
  • Samsung Galaxy Note – ICS – Early July
  • Samsung Galaxy SII X – ICS – June 12th
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 – ICS – Late July
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 – ICS – Late July

BlackBerry:

  • BlackBerry Bold 9790 upgrade to OS 7.1 will be released at some point in early July (previously early June)

Windows Phone:

  • LG Optimus L7 – June 6th
  • Nokia Lumia 800 – July (previously early June)

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
