If you happen to be still holding on to that HTC Rezound 4G handset of yours you got from Verizon, you very well know that there was a point in time a couple of years back when the handset was considered as one of the best handsets in the Android lineup of Big Red. Several years later, the handset is still alive and kicking and if you think that Verizon has already forgotten about the device, you are sorely mistaken.
As it stands, the HTC Rezound 4G is scheduled to receive an OTA update and this much was confirmed by Verizon because the support documents containing the changelog and details of the said update are now live on the official support site of the wireless carrier. Although there was no mention of a specific timeframe as to when exactly the update is set to hit the airwaves, we all know that once the details of the update are seen on the support site of Big Red, it is just a matter of time and the update should start rolling out any day now.
As usual, the OTA will be rolled out via the usual OTA manner so if you still rock that HTC Rezound 4G handset of yours, you might want to be on the lookout for a notification that will let you know once the update has landed on your device. You also have the option of manually checking for the update to get the whole update process started if you so desire.
Before you get all excited though, this update will not bring Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to the HTC Rezound 4G. Instead, it will just crank up the software version of the handset to version 4.05.605.14 710RD and will finally bring global roaming to the handset among other things which are all listed below:

The handset has 16GB of onboard storage which can further be expanded using its microSD card slot.
