I just came from Sprint. We used to always get the updates first, but they too haven't received the update. So maybe next week VZW and SPR update. I mean I have 30 days to return everything and switch to T-Mobile and get Nougat, so...timer started I guess.

Been running the Nougat Beta. It's not so bad. Best improvement is the blue light filter. Went to the T-Mobile full update. Not really any better except for less bloatware. Overall i think the best overall update for this phone is either the I phone 7 plus or the Google Pixel XL. March 20th could happen, i say not until a while after the S8 is released.

Seriously though, the nougat beta 2 is not bad, it does have a few rough spots, but they really need to kick it into high gear and roll it out. I cant imagine they havent had enough time to quash the few bugs.

Never trust those people. You where misinformed. developer.android.com has nothing to do with oem firmware. That site is for core Android development only. It has nothing carrier specific. I say this because I have used that site a lot over the past few years. It is the basis for android development.

Customer service just told me that we weren't getting the update and suggested I use my 30 day trade in to upgrade to a different device with 7.0 already...

There is no way that is true. If for some crazy reason that is true, I would dump verizon immediately. But there is no way that is true.

While paying my bill stuff today the regional manager at our corporate store was visiting and the employee asked him and he called corporate and they have no information about it. Hes aware about the other carriers have released it and something should at least be said.

Got rid of my Nexus 6P for this phone...man what a bad decision, should of just waited for the Pixel.
Depends what you're looking for in a phone. The s7 edge is better than the 6P in many ways. 6P definitely has the updates on it's side and the speakers.
