It looks like HTC One M8 and M7 users still have to wait some more as it has been confirmed that the Android L 5.0 Lollipop roll out would definitely be delayed. The news comes straight from HTC Product Management Vice President Mo Versi who took to Twitter to announce the bad news.

Versi, with no hesitations, spilled the beans on Friday, declaring that the Taiwanese smartphone company would likely miss its 90-day goal. Earlier, HTC promised that it would roll out the Lollipop update after 90 days of receiving the final software from Google. But it will certainly not happen. Here's Versi's tweet:

Furthermore, here is Versi and HTC's official statement regarding the delay:

"Delivering major Android updates to our flagship phones has been a top priority for us because, just like you, we love having the latest and greatest software as soon as possible. By setting the 90-day goal to deliver these updates a few years ago, we have driven change within our own company as well as in the industry. Today you are seeing updates much sooner even from other OEMs. We also brought a new level of transparency to the process and the ability to track the status of the updates in real time when we launched the software updates page on HTC.com, which is also being replicated by other OEMs.

"In the spirit of continued transparency, I wanted to share a quick update on where we're at with our Android Lollipop rollout process. We've been working hard in the labs with Google and our carrier partners ever since the code release and are making great progress so far, but if you've been following the progress of this rollout you will know that Google has had to address several issues with this release. We've been diligently working to fix some of them on our end and incorporating Google's fixes as quickly as possible, but despite everyone's best efforts some carrier versions of the HTC One (M8) and HTC One (M7) will not meet our 90 day goal, which is February 1st. While we are committed to delivering within this time period, we are even more committed to ensuring these updates result in an even better experience with your device because that is what the updates are intended to do.

"We are continuing to push hard to deliver Lollipop to all devices as near the 90-day mark as possible, but we are taking every precaution to ensure the rollout is right and we aren't willing to compromise at your expense. As of today, we've rolled out to Google Play, Unlocked, and Developer Editions of the HTC One (M8). We're still working through the testing process with our partners and hope to have good news to share soon. We promise to keep you updated in real-time as additional devices receive the update on our Software Updates page and @HTCUSA on Twitter.

"Thanks for your patience and feel free to reach out on Twitter if you have any additional questions."

Contrary to HTC's statement, GSM Arena earlier reported that the update has finally rolled out to HTC One M8 users in Malaysia as well as those who own the Google Play Edition and the Developer Edition of the handset.

Also, a leaked video of the HTC One M7 device running the Lollipop update was earlier spotted. Watch it here:
