In the end, Verizon’s finally giving us that OTA firmware update for the Thunderbolt we caught wind of a couple of weeks back . Owners of the flagship device can grab it now through a manual download, and the excellent news is that it’s meant to mend some connectivity issues. Bad news is it’s only for 3G. The hot code can be meant to stabilize data-dependent apps, accelerate GPS updates for Google Maps and VZ Navigator, and fasten a couple of minor messaging glitches. We’re glad the wait is over, but wouldn’t it have killed them to mend LTE too?
