This nobody David Ruddock character is now spreading info about it being June 12th. I beg you all, don't click on any of his news articles, or any of those places that repost his wild guesses. Don't give them the benefit of driving up their traffic. They played us all on June 10, don't let them do it again. If we do, it'll only motivate them to give more false info in the future!

I am a bit frustrated too. I would love to have Lollipop on my Turbo.

That said, the update will be coming soon, but it doesn't look like it will be 5.1, but 5.0.2.

This was taken from the Tech Specs page of the Droid Turbo.

It will be 5.1. Motorola themselves said they are skipping 5.0.X on all devices that haven't been updated to lollipop. It was also later confirmed by Motorola engineers that the Droid Turbo was included on that list.

Sho 'nuff.

Wonder why Verizon didn't refute the claim?

Cause it's easier for Verizon to say "It isn't official until we say it's official" rather than scour the Internet for every click-bait article.

Yes, I read that article as well a few times when a Motorola rep confirmed that it would be 5.1 instead of 5.0.x. However an article from Droid Life (when tends to be accurate on these releases) has some info on it too posted today (6/11)

I really really hope that we do get 5.1. I would hate to have a super buggy 5.0.2.

That doesn't matter... honestly.  You don't know how many times that even carrier specs are not always matching up before an update.  The Thunderbolt for example even after the update showed it was on a previous version for like 4 months after they pushed out the next major update(I owned a TB.  Was a great phone back then).  The Moto X when that was first released it showed it was on 4.0, but it was on 4.4 out of the box.

You guys and your Lollipop updates....hilarious. 

You will get the update when it's released.  It's an update for a smart phone that already (likely) does everything you need it to do running KitKat.  There may be < 2% of people that may NEED a feature introduced in Lollipop that isn't avail for KitKat.  It is likely going to introduce more bugs than you currently have, but you all don't care because you want the "better eye candy" and ability to say you are running Lollipop.  I have such a hard time understanding why this is so important to you all, but above anything I just find it comical. 

I'm just happy I have food on the table and a bathroom I can use rather than being forced to go in the street like someone in a third world country.  You guys are hilarious.  I hope you get your update soon so we can stop flooding these forums with useless nonsense, leaving room for the users that are actually have troubles with their phone(s) and are posting here seeking help, which one another should be doing for each other; vs bashing Verizon and Motorola over a silly update.  Jeesh  Smiley Happy

I'm sorry we aren't as good as you and can't live up to your standard of only super important things mattering.

I'm also sorry that you are forced to click on and read these threads about updates.
