Ics soak test has begun!!!!!!!!

[jwilly216]

Awww I feel such bitter sweet nostalgia now for my BIONIC
I'm so happy she's finally getting this attention.I spent so many days checking online hoping it was the day I'd get ice cream sandwich.
I never imagined I'd be getting the s3 and putting her on a shelf.

Congratulations all u people that stuck with the DROID BIONIC!

Just got my invite. Will post screen shots as soon as the update comes out.

Lets just say, in theory, I got on the list. If I was someplace with no mobile reception or had to roam, could I still just get it over wifi? Or does some sort of Verizon verification need to happen on their mobile network? Do get any sort of notice? Or does the update just show up randomly?

In theory, yes, you should still get it. It'll be going to you based on your IMEI number. You could do the "Check For Updates" and it should show up. Or you could wake up in the morning and get an announcement that there is a update available. Just like an OTA update.

That being said, there seems to be a few that'll get the announcement even though they aren't on the list.

Or a few that aren't even members of Moto's support forum that will get it... seems like that happens every time as well!

I have been a soak tester before but had to get a replacement bionic. I registered the new one... But no soak email for me.... I'm sad

Well, I have a bad feeling, I'm in Vancouver right now. Still on Verizon SIM, but roaming. When I go to 'About Phone', 'System Updates' is greyed out, I can't check for updates. So if that's not part of the soak process I may be screwed. I've been thinking of making a shopping run over the boarder, so this may encourage that.
