ICS came out in October, The photon came out in what May? So its getting ICS ALMOST a year after ICS was announced! WOW Tha'ts LAME this makes Moto and Android look s l o w ! Thank God I sold my photon and bought a Epic Touch 4G which we will get ICS by the end of this month [Only registered users can view links. ]

Love the hardware Moto, but you need to step it up, oh and also Moto should look at the cameras that Samsung is using... BEAST!

Buttons, schmuttons: ICS looks closest to webOS, so now i guess i can keep my Photon and pretend it was built by HP/Palm (like it hsould have been!!)

ICS was Announced in October. As Moto has already stated...they didn't have access to ICS until the Galaxy Nexus was physcially on store shelves. That was Mid-December...so you have to start the clock from then, as that's when they got their hands on the code.

Moto has a few phones & tablets in front of the Photon and the other devices...so a 6-9 month wait (in total) isn't horrible. Let the other phones find all the ICS bugs first so when we get it, it'll be rock solid.

Would I like it sooner? Sure. I'll take my Moto, its rock solid, and I'll have it another 18 months, so I'm happy we're getting it.

Have fun with the gps and reception issues. The only reason the epic might get ics is because of the similarities to the nexus which they already have the code for. Most of us learned the hard was with the OG epic that Samsung is not to be trusted when it comes to software updates.

Woo Hoo!

to wait, or to try the unofficial version, that is the question.
