The wait for ICS is making us crazy.
lol
It is frustrating, but recall what we went through on the wait for Gingerbread. If history holds, it will be next year, and not first quarter mind you!, before we get any Ice Cream Sammy lovin'. And by then the majority of Tboltians are going to have bolted for the latest thing on their two-year renewals, except maybe the few unlimited plan holdouts who don't want to shell out $600 for a shinier shiny.
Meanwhile, ICS will have some nice improvements but the Gingerbread build gave me what I thought I was buying in this phone. Video chat, a fairly stable phone with few real issues, and still fast enough to do anything I'm likely to do on its small screen. I got the big brick extended battery and the phone is now all-day strong.
Verizon has tossed in 4G where I work (though sadly still not where I live fewer than 15 miles away!), and this phone is stylin'.
Yeah, there are some nice improvements in ICS. Aftermarket tethering over WiFi would be sweet. Chrome? Maybe, but Firefox syncs everything for me, so I'm kind of invested in that browser architecture anyway. Maybe a little better battery life. But most of what I'd want would require hardware upgrades.
I'd much prefer Big Red focus on the huge gaping holes in even 1xRTT coverage here in Maine, and maybe spread the 4G love around a little more.
I'd like to have ICS, but there ain't nothin' in in worth getting all het up over.
