Jelly Bean + Verizon "What's Taking So Long?"







If you haven't heard already many Sprint users have finally began to enjoy their Jelly Bean update which as we have mentioned is an upgrade for the Samsung Galaxy S III adding features such as Google Now which rival the iPhone's SIRI. Verizon is the next in line to get the update but what's taking so long. Customers of T-Mobile and Sprint in the US have been enjoying the update to Jelly Bean on their Samsung Galaxy S3 for some time now. However this is not the same for those with Verizon or AT&T. Samsung are perhaps shaking their heads in disbelief that these carriers have yet to get the update out and they will not be pleased as their record was tarnished in the past because of this (remember the Samsung Galaxy S?).


This means that the pressure is on for Verizon and AT&T to release the update to their customers. Could Verizon or AT&T be hoping that customers will get fed up of waiting and get a new device with the latest Android already installed? After all, unlike other countries here in the US smartphones are more heavily subsidized than elsewhere. Carriers would benefit from their subscribers paying early upgrade fees.
As A Verizon Consumer I can say that I am ticked off, but we will see if this is only a delay to surprise us all on Christmas.
