Seriously, I rather you just remained in Twitter-land,VZW. Verizon social media is an Epic Fail. What is the use of being able to tweet Verizon, if you don't have any information anyway? If you don't have dates, then we don't need a post telling us you don't have a date. We already know that you can't or won't tell us anyway. Stick to announcing tiered data and iPhone propaganda.
It is evident that there is no information from Verizon by the numerous people that posted here who called your representatives and got responses which range from "there will be no gingerbread update" to "yes. you will receive your gingerbread update next week." Your posting here doesn't clear up ANY speculation, because (like you said) you don't know. See, we are looking for someone who DOES know or might know, since the best you can offer us is "we don't know." That forces us to scrape the internet for tidbits of information, since all is quiet from Verizon. We wouldn't need a speculation thread, if you told us SOMETHING!
Here is something to pass along to your bosses. We would much rather you publish a list of approximate dates, which you update periodically through the process of releasing the update. I would be a lot more understanding if I knew a date and was told the update was delayed so you can fix problems with it, instead of the denials and misleading statements we get along the official channels. This is one of the reasons why the iPhone is looking to favorable to me. I know you wouldn't oppose Apple when they release their updates, since you sold your soul to them.

I'm sorry if my post didn't yeild the details that everyone here is so eager to get. Please appreciate that my intention was not to provide details of anything prior to being given authorization to do so. Rather my purpose to is to try to explain our positioning thus far on this topic. It's been stated here that our internal policies might prevent me from releasing information without authorization. I agree with this.
And yes, I am really a Verizon Wireless employee. In fact, it is my job to do so. As a member of VZW's Social Media Response Team, I am fully authorized to post on threads, blogs and forums when our input seems warranted. So I will be posting these threads from time to time. Thanks again for your attention!
