I love the GNex. I spoke with Verizon today and they said the RAZR would see ICS in January. I have a hard time believing that unless it's next January.
First, you must be talking to a rep... who of course knows nothing... Motorola's consumer experience VP said on day one of CES that the RAZR would get ICS in Q2 of this year:

Also I am totally with everyone on the no more Moto. First the Bionic which they don't even sell anymore (it's on the shelves but the rep's I talk to say no one buys them they all are steered to the RAZR), then 6 weeks later the RAZR which was a jump up from the "flagship" Bionic.
I think this is more the fault of Verizon for asking for so many new devices... Motoroloa, and every other manufacturer, is at the mercy of the carriers. VZW asks for a new device and they deliver a new device.
Now the people who bought all of the RAZR's over the holiday's will be pissed about the RAZR MAXX (same price).
If I was mad at every manufacturer for releasing a new device after I bought my last device I'd be pissed at every manufacturer... come on, they all release new devices every month, two or three to get people to buy their latest product, let alone that they are trying to keep up with the other manufacturer that just released something that is better than their last product.
Even Motorola realizes they released TOO many phones last year... and finally said they will be releasing less phones this year.
Plus... we are talking about all the people that bought RAZR's over the holdiay's that did know that CES was still scheduled for January... CES did not change the date, did they??? They had to know some new devices would come out sometime, didn't they???
Finally, "same price"... sure it's at the same price, but the RAZR will be dropping it's price with the new RAZR's in purple, and white... I believe I read the price will dropped by $100... will that piss off people that bought the old ones over the holidays also??? I'm sure it will, but it's just the way most all electronics go... PC's, Smartphone's, Laptop's, hard-drive's, flash drives, etc, etc, etc.
