[Rumor] Google's First Ice Cream Sandwich Devices May Come as Early as October

[Pleirosei]

A stock ice cream sandwich device would be fantastic but we haven't seen a stock anything on verizon since the original droid right? And who knows if they'll ever carry some version of the google nexus phone line (as much as I'd love it if they did).

I feel you on that. I doubt they will carry a stock android device. If they don't I'm going to sprint who definitely will

Unless I'm mistaken, ICS is designed to encompass its predecessors in order to solve these problems and allow some measure of uniformity. As far as which phone will receive it ota, that remains to be seen. But i think we can all agree moving forward this has the potential to fix a a lot of the issues we've experienced.

That's not necessarily true. The next Nexus should be the first ICS phone (assuming Google sticks to the same plan as for the first two Nexus phones), and the rumors about the Nexus Prime were that it would have LTE. If that turns out to be true, then Verizon is really the only option because no other carrier will have a sufficient LTE network to justify having an LTE phone on their lineup.

I hope you're right. I might switch back to android if ics fixes some of the issues I have with adroid.

VZW will be the first right after, Sprint, AT&T, T-Moble, US Cellular, Virgin, and probably a few more. But right after that, they'll be first

You are right Diab! I haven't seen stock anything from Verizon. My understanding is that they won't allow stock anything through their doors anymore.

I just saw some interviews on the Motorola web site, that have really poisoned the Iphone for me, so I guess I'm sticking with droid and jumping to Sprint to get away from Verizon.

Maybe ICS will be available stock under Sprint?? Does anyone know??
