The OTA should start rolling out tomorrow (August 20th). Upon installing, users will have all the usual Android 5.1 improvements like better heads-up notifications and tweaked do-not-disturb settings. This update also includes Stagefright patches.

The M9 already has support for all of Verizon's LTE bands, of course, but this update enables a few more for roaming. The new ones are 3 (1800MHz) and 7 (2600MHz). You'll find a lot of band 3 and 7 in Africa, Central/South America, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. There's also some band 7 in Canada. Neither one is used in the US.
