Update 3: We replaced the pic from earlier with a Motorola video of ICS in action on the RAZR.

According to released support docs and the webpage at the Motorola source link below, Android 4.0/Ice Cream Sandwich will begin rolling out today (June 22nd) to the Droid RAZR and RAZR MAXX! Besides the obvious benefits of Ice Cream Sandwich, there are some additional features that Moto is adding to this update: a four-way lockscreen shortcut, refreshed notifications, global roaming, a smart actions app update and more.

Sound off in the thread when you get yours! dancedroiddancedroiddancedroid

Update: Verizon's own news page now confirms that the rollout will start on June 22nd!

Thanks for the tip, nikecar!

Update 2: Thanks to another tipster, we have some more info to share regarding this update. One other cool and interesting new feature that this update brings besides ICS is that it will make your RAZR or RAZR MAXX a Global device! You can see more details here: UPDATE: Android 4.0 ICS News for DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR MAXX Owners | The Official Motorola Blog - Motorola Mobility, Inc. USA.

Hmmmm no soak test first. If there was, those that were in it managed to keep it a secret this time. LOL

Maybe Motorola saw the amount of people talking about it on open forums and kept it in house?

Very good possibility. We know from all previous soak tests that there are always gonna be those that have to tell the world and give proof. Like they are in that need of attention that they wanna try to lay claim to being the first to leak out something like that.

That was actually part of the email for the initial survey, not the actual soak invite. I got the same email, but as far as I know there was no soak invite actually sent out.
