It’s been a little over a week since HTC gave us an idea of which devices would be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich and when. Many were upset to see the HTC Thunderbolt missing from that list and it seems HTC didn’t want a riot on their hands as they’ve updated their list to now include the Thunderbolt.
