My D3 is working so well I'm kind of afraid to get an update.

We still don't know what ICS hw requirements will be in terms of RAM specifically. If 512MB isn't enough, D3 will be left out in the dark...

Let's hope it will take less than it took to bring Gingerbread to Droid2... if ever happens.

From prior experience, it will seem like it takes forever.

I can't believe that 512mg of ram isn't gonna be enough.

Nobody knows for sure, but I doubt thats a real issue considering all of the current generation of Sony Ericsson Xperia models including the Xperia arc and the Xperia ray will be updated. Both are 512k devices.

Knowing motorola....it could take quite a long time. Gingerbread was released in early december. Droid 2 got it in august/september. It took motorola 8-9 months. At that rate, we can expect ics on the droid 3 between the months of may and august of 2012. Assuming motorola decides to upgrade it to ics.

There's no real reason the D3 wouldn't get ICS. I think the delay on getting GB was due to some other issues. But with Google aquiring Moto it'll speed up the update process.

It very much depends what shell is installed atop android. HTC sense for example struggles with 768MB on Gingerbread, they even refused to update Desire Z due to lack of enough memory to run Sense properly. Motorola's shell (BLUR) is not as heavy, but not as light as Sony's. D3 already struggles for RAM on Gingerbread. Those "screen reloads" people are complaining are direct result from RAM hunger.
We'll see, I guess.

So the internal drive is just that a internal drive and so not connected to a way to partition to create more ram,right
