If you look at the buttons on the bottom of this rumored phone (LG Revolution 2, which will probably be announced on Dec. 1st.) you can see that there is a 3 button layout similiar to ICS/Honey comb. Since the phone is obviously not going to come with Honey Comb.. it could very well be coming stock with ICS.

Could be designed for ICS but only have ginger on it when it releases.

Also people say to run away from LG phones, not sure why though.

The three-button design isn't new. Original Galaxy S. Galaxy S II. Countless other phones -- back to Froyo (if not earlier?)

The International version of the Galaxy S II has only 3 buttons. Like thescreensavers said, it will most like release with GB and then get a future ICS update. But maybe not.

Remember that although WiFI-only tablets are easy to get an upgrade from, cell phones are not due to carrier interference. If you look it up on Engadget, they posted the entire process that the ATrix had to go through on AT&T. The software on these phones goes through weeks of testing before they are allowed to be released on these phones, and since source only dropped a couple of weeks ago the likelihood of any phone besides the GN coming out with ICS at launch before February (If that) is slim to none. I'm going to bet on April-May before updates/new releases have ICS.

I vowed never to buy another LG after owning a Chocolate 2. Thing broke 5 times over the course of my contract. Once at a gig I had it on my bassists cab, and the screen just exploded mid set. Forget that.

People seem to have had bad experiences with LG on Verizon (maybe others too). Personally though, I haven't had a single LG phone that I haven't loved. I'm on Virgin Mobile though so I haven't used any high end phones, but the LG Optimus One (and its variants) is fantastic for a low end Android phone. Even though it's low end, the performance doesn't make me want to kick an orphan. It's fairly smooth and even manages to play some 3D games. I've found zero faults with any of the hardware either, which is where I think people find problems with LG phones.

A lot of people don't like LG, but they're my favorite manufacturer.

This thing better have ICS when released... LG is not known for updating their devices.

LG did a really terrible job with the O2x/G2x.
