What can I say. Sprint is very slow when it comes to updates. Anyone who has been on the sprint network for the last few years are well aware of this. If you want Jellybean. Ditch Sprint and go to T-mobile. The only bad thing about that, is T-mobile's service is not that great in my area. I would not trade latest and greatest software for a solid network. At the end of the day the phone is for talking and texting. This can be done with a feature? (dumb) phone.

As a sprint customer I do wish that Sprint would train their in store sales reps to be honest. Telling any customer that if they buy the Galaxy Nexus phones they will be able to get updates before anyone else. Is just a flat lie.

I brought the Evo 4G LTE instead of the Galaxy Nexus. Because I knew Sprint would drag their feet with providing software updates. I mean why buy the Galaxy Nexus if you know your not going to get an update. With that being said you remove the bigest selling point of Galaxy Nexus. I have absolute no confidence in Sprint when it comes to staying current with software. Sprint just flat out sucks at it.

The only reasons I even deal with this below average software support from Sprint is 1.) You can't as of yet beat their unlimited data and 2.) In my area they have excellent call and data reception. I've tried the other big carriers and Sprint still came out on top.

So until Sprint can get it together. I'll just root my phone flash my roms. Sucks that I have to provide my own software updates becasue Sprint lacks the ability.

It is NOT Sprint that provides software updates. It is the manufacturer of the phone. Sprint tests and approves the updates, but the manufactrer...LG, Motoroloa, HTC, Samsung, etc are the ones that actually produce the update. The Galaxy S2 just got ICS within the last month or so on ALL carriers. The Motorola Droids on Verizon just got ICS within the last couple weeks.
?
Neither Verizon or Sprint Galaxy Nexus have gotten the JellyBean update because they are CDMA networks and require additional steps to get an update out vs. the other networks that are GSM where Google can directly release the update. However, It is pretty much a sure thing that the Galaxy Nexus will get JellyBean way before any other phone does on Sprint. The Nexus S 4G was still the first phone on Sprint to get ICS...even if it was much later than its GSM counterparts. I would pretty much guarantee the Galaxy Nexus will get JellyBean well before your HTC 4G LTE does.

If updates are really that important and life changing for you then, yes, you need to be using T-mobile or AT&T or any other carrier that uses GSM and have a Nexus device. However, I would bet a majority of the people buy a phone for what it is at the time they buy it and don't even know or care about updates. There were tons of complaints in the Epic 4G forums when the phone was upgraded from Eclair to Froyo with a bunch of people asking how to go back to Eclair because they didn't like all the changes made to thier phone....same with the Froyo to Gingerbread update.
