New update pushing out to Rezound on West Coast as of 8/12/2012

It turned out to be just a beta or "soak test" as they call it, not a full roll out. Since then there has been a full RUU leaked a version higher and provided all VZW's testing goes well, it is anticipated that the roll out will be mid to late September. If there are any glitches, it will have to go back to HTC then back to VZW for another 4-8 week testing period.

I was on a leak and had a couple glitches so tried the new one. The couple issues I had are resolved and phone is just a little snappier, with what has so far been way improved battery life. This is just 2 days in but if you are out of the update loop because of a leak in suggest jumping to this one.
Seriously an HTC phone I pulled off the charger (granted it sat idle) and 4 hours later still was clocking in @ 98%? Haven't ever seen that in the other 2 HTC phones. Been hammering it since then and it's doing great.

Let's hope that's the case when the official OTA comes out. What horrible battery life I've been having.

Any updates?
No word on a roll out, or a new leak RUU, so basically, no update yet but that is not to say it won't change tomorrow...

Best bet for news is to follow Android Police on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or their RSS feed, in recent months they have been the first to get a lot of information and leaked software.

I might update to this finally, been delaying doing it cause I didnt want to wipe the phone again, but Ive had some battery draining issues lately where I lose like 40-50% during normal use with extended battery over the course of like 7 hours. I used to get like 2 or 3 days with less drain. Think a reset is in order regardless.
