HTC Thunderbolt owners, here’s a piece of good news for you. Your LTE-enabled smartphone will get the Android 2.3.4 update on June 30th! And while that’s great news for itself, there’s more — aside from the latest flavor of Gingerbread, the software upgrade will also bring video calls, including GTalk and check this, Skype Video. Yep, we’ve been waiting this for quite some time now and had to rely on other apps like Tango to beam our ugly faces to the unlucky recipient on the other side of the line. No more, he or she will soon be able to “enjoy” the sight using the familiar Skype interface. That said, I do expect to lose a contact or two from my Skype list in the next few days, but hey – something’s gotta give.
Bear in mind, June 30th is not the official date and has been confirmed by neither Verizon nor HTC. However, we have a reason to believe there’s some merit in this story and we’ll definitely keep our ears on the street and get back to you as soon as something new pops up. Stay tuned…
