Will the Galaxy S II get Ice Cream Sandwich?

Will it? I am tempted to get it, but I'd rather wait for the Galaxy Nexus if the GS2 will not be getting ICS.

I think it will. Especially considering the launch phone is a Samsung device.

I think it definitely will. Just a matter of when !!!

I think it will. It may just be from Cyanogenmod though.

That's very likely. Hear is to hoping that Samsung is willing to work on their image of being very slow to update their devices.

That would be nice. Especially so if they want to drive sales of their flagship phones on the non-Verizon carriers.

I never thought I would get a Samsung because of their past history of poor support. With the Galaxy as maybe their most popular phone, and so similar to the G Nexus. I felt confident that they would pick up the pace. Crossing my fingers...

There's no guarantee of anything. International versions will probably see it first. Then its up to AT&T and Samsung to get it to us.

There are other benefits of the Nexus, like the display, updates first, and the improved camera experience.

What K O'Quinn said. ICS wasn't written to work optimally with the processors in any of the GSII line, so Samsung will have to deal with that. Then Samsung will have to figure out what elements of ICS will be incorporated into TouchWiz. Then AT&T will have to stall everything to determine the effects of ICS and an updated TW on their bloatware.

I'm happy with Gingerbread, otherwise I would be kinda upset at the prospects of another Captivate Eclair->Froyo fiasco.

How do you know that ICS wasn't written to work optimally with the processors in any of the GSII line?

Android Central told me.

It's definitely confirmed, per Samsung as of today:

The 2nd quarter of 2012 is about 6 months from now unless you really expect it in the early part of April (which is when the 2nd quarter really starts.) The later part of the 2nd quarter could be late June. That's about 8 months away.
