A new software update is now available for download for the owners of HTC 8X smartphones on the network of wireless carrier Verizon, in the form of build number 3030.0.42201.605.

Right from the start, we should note that this is not the Windows Phone 8.1 operating system upgrade that started rolling out to Windows Phone 8 Lumia handsets a few days ago.

Following the installation of this new firmware release on their HTC 8X smartphones, users will see that the baseband version has been upgraded to 2.00.50.0528_3.

Moreover, they will enjoy a small set of improvements, including roaming enhancements when traveling internationally, the available release notes reveal.

Additionally, the new firmware upgrade should provide users with improved reliability when sending SMS messages, it seems.

The update should arrive on smartphones over-the-air, which means that users will receive a notification as soon as it is available for them. Of course, they can also manually check on the platform’s availability, through going to Settings > Software updates.

Those of you who would like to learn more on the new software release should head over to Verizon’s support website. You should also keep in mind that some users who have already updated their devices have spotted weird Wi-Fi behavior, as WPCentral reports.
