Verizon accidentally launched BlackBerry 10.2.1 update ahead of release

BlackBerry 10.2.1 is expected to be officially announced on the 28th of January 2014. However, it seems that someone at Verizon might have gotten ahead of themselves because according to reports, Verizon has started to push out the BlackBerry 10.2.1 update, with some subscribers receiving the notification as pictured in the screenshot above. 

It seems like Verizon is dealing with a bit of indecision. A small group of users got OS 10.2.1 pushed out to them today. That stopped very quickly and reports are that the OS was OS 10.2.1.537. My guess is somebody clicked the wrong button on Verizon’s side. On a side note I didn’t get all the tips about the update until now due to Gmail going down and messing up my email. Thankfully things are back up on Google’s end but wow that was annoying!
