I just read Motorola's update list for there products. Razr and maxx still in evaluation mode no time table. But if you have the foreign razr they are schedule for ics in 2nd quarter. [Only registered users can view links. ]

The carriers have their own quality tests they want and need to run first, so yes, it's going to take longer. Most people don't know what benefit ICS will bring, anyway.

Honestly, I like gingerbread. I may be in the minority, but it works for me. I've messed around with ics on my wife's nexus and while it has some nice features, I miss some of the long press actions. Guess it just takes some getting use to, but i'm in no hurry to change.

I can see both sides but essentially we are now having to wait almost a year from release to get ICS?

By the time we get it these phones (in terms of phone technology) they will be relics?

Should we start looking at custom ROM's?

What do you all think?

I'm with wildman here. My wife returned the Nexus and went with the Maxx. She doesn't miss ICS at all, she's a phone wizard.... I don't either. Has some neat features but I think I would like to stay with what I am comfortable with for now.

If ICS takes this long it will be another fun round of deciding which phone to get next! Enjoy the Bionic and get what you can out of it!

If you use Nova Launcher on ICS you still have the long press options/action which I use and love.

I can wait. I'm looking forward to ICS, but expected that it would take awhile. I think Motorola is just being extra conservative with their estimates, knowing that Verizon could hold things up.

i'm not going to miss ics if i dont get it, having messed around with ICS and being unimpressed with it...most people just want it because its the "latest" iteration...and because "only the cool kids have it"
