MotoLife Announces ICS Schedule

[EnergyPlus]

Surprised nobody has posted this. Endgadget today announced that MotoLife has released a partial schedule for the ICS update. Unfortunately, while many products are sceduled to have ICS either in Q1 or Q2, the Bionic is amongst those devices that Moro says "will get i but they gave no date. Arrrrrggghhh!

Bionic ICS update looks like it's scheduled for a Q3 release; however, that could be when VZW gets a hold of it so we may get it for Xmas if we've been good all year

No, Motorola is still giving no date for the Bionic ICS update. They say they will have details later. Where are you seeing Q3 for the Bionic?

I dont see the bionic getting it Q1 and thats going to be a bad move on Moto/Verzion if newer phones get it 1st

It's pretty normal for the newest hardware to get the fun stuff first. Since they're still current devices, I would be annoyed if I paid $299 for the Razr Maxx and my buddy paid $99 for a Bionic on the same day and he got his upgrade first.

I never expect an update. Makes it easier to handle when they announce they're not going to do it after all.

I learned that when I used to be a WebOS fanatic. I got out just in time.

Android is fantastic better than iphone and winmobile7 in every way but 1. That is updates. Wish Google would come up with someway to make phones update like winmobile7. Winmobile7 phones have many manufactures but when an update is released by Microsoft boom there it is. They have it right when it comes to updates.

They have - they are called Nexus phones. Unlike Microsoft, (with the exception of the Nexus handsets that they contract for when they update Android) Google does not specify precise hardware specs for their software - OEMs are free to make devices that offer specific and unique to that manufacturer features, something that WP does not have. Android has been out for three years plus now and everyone was fully aware of this shortcoming of buying a non-Nexus phone at the time that they bought their Bionic.

I think that you are also forgetting that WP had some update problems of their own. See [Only registered users can view links. ]

I would be annoyed if the phone I got at the time was the "flagship" device for a company, was quickly replaced by a smilarly specced phone a few months later, and then pushed back updates wise because it is the lonely middle child. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.

As for myself, based on all the software issues we've all had with the bionic since its issue, I'm NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE ICS UPDATE!. I just know it will screw up on a number of things that are working just fine on my Bionic right now. Unfortunately, VZW/MOTO control the issue/install of updates and I'm not looking forward to having to wait yet again for updates to the ICS to get it to work properly. I may be a bit of a pessimist here, but i think I'm more of a realist based upon VZW/MOTO past practices. CROSS YOUR FINGERS.

Just go ahead and root, install safestrap, and fire up either ICS4Bionic or Axiom Bionic (ICS-based). No waiting needed (though camera doesn't work yet).
