HTC Teases ICS for the Rezound; Takes Update Page Down Before Anyone Got Creamed

HTC Rezound 1

Well, it looks like I’m not the only one suffering from Android-related depression today. That’s always good to know. Apparently, owners of the HTC Rezound were just about to get their long-awaited Ice Cream Sandwich update today; the update was live on HTC.com, Droid-Life reported on it and all. Too bad we have to say was, because it’s not there anymore.

Unfortunately, DL quickly updated their original post with the disheartening news that nobody had received the update yet, and HTC had yanked the update page from its site with no further details. Fortunately, they did manage to snag a screenie and a changelog info, but that’s not going to do you any good if you were hoping to get an official Android 4.0 update on your Rezound today. Check out the details below.
