I've had the 8x since launch and like many of you have been eagerly awaiting the Portico (version 8.0.10211.204) update on Verizon. HTC told me last week they had released it to Verizon, so it was no longer up to them. One of my coworkers received a new ATIV Odyssey for testing on our corporate network today, and when I had a chance to look at it I realized it has Portico installed. Does anyone know if new/replacement 8x's and 822's are shipping from Verizon with the update installed from the factory? Would love to hear from anyone who purchased either recently

They will not contain newer updates unless Verizon releases update to all. Verizon's history on releasing update is not good. You probably should expect zero chance to get any update.

C'mon foxbat. I bought a Trophy in spring of '12 and received 7.5 very shortly after it was released. Vzw reputation on WP isn't as terrible as everyone like to make it out to me. I'm optimistic.

Verizon is god awful on just about any OS for updates, we're screwed more or less

[foxbat121]

Just ask those who bought Verizon Galaxy Nexus phones :) Keep your expectations down.

FYI, WP 7.5 was release in middle of 2011, not Spring of 2012.

Which still makes your silly statement about a "zero chance" of getting an update 100% false.

because you talked to customer service.

I said EXPECT zero chances.

Why would one expect zero chances of an update with no evidence to support that?

nope tier two tech support.

I manage a similar group, they don't get any information on updates. Engineering will process the update and deploy it, and then tech support will be informed.

Just got my Portico update on a Verizon 8X. Installed cleanly, no problems.

What's new....(verified)
Portico update
KB2788409
KB2788410
KB2788412
WiFi - 'Keep WiFi on when screen times out' (toggle)
WiFi - WiFi HotSpot Finder [previously there]
SMS/MMS - edit forwarding messages
SMS - select all option to delete
SMS - save unsent text messages in Draft
SMS - multi select recipients
Calls - ignore w/SMS text reply(samples/custom)
Ringtone - ability to add/use MP3 as Ringtone [ability previously there]

What's new...(in question/unknown/not found yet)
WiFi - priortize WiFi connection based on usage
WiFi (?) - auto re-try w/connectivity
Bluetooth - profile performance improvement
Browser History - increased management flexibility (selective removal?)
Calls - restrict calls to limited list of numbers
Other improvements unlisted in changelogs

What missed the boat...(confirmed not present)
Browser - prevent pics from auto d/l (toggle)

So that's what I found new/missing/still unknown w/re to my update today. Some items are unverifiable. Your mileage may vary...in particular the Browser selective history delete and auto pic d/l *seems* like it should have come along with the update, but I sure can't find the items.

Anybody have those Browser items, or the restrict call numbers or WiFi(?) auto re-try?
