Thanks to all the community members for your feedback on the update matter. Adding to what was said, the 4.3 Update for the iPhone 4 will be pushed to the devices when it becomes available and released. We apologize there has not been a date set as to when it will be available since we do not want to set a specific date that may or may not be met with the update delivery.
Please understand that Verizon Wireless will release the stable finished update to you as soon as it is ready. We are committed to giving you the best, and we will not release the update until we are confident that it will run smoothly without issues or bugs. We again appreciate your continued understanding and patience concerning this matter.

Come on Verizon, where is the 4.3 update? - Page 3 - Verizon Wireless Community
That may be the corporate VZW line that their people are scripted to spew... but the truth is it's Apple's deal. Apple will release the iOS update when Apples says it's ready, not Verizon.
