That still does not change the official release dates that Motorola mobility announced.. their twitter tweet did not state dates for release.. that was the websites "speculation" as the source was being released..

Maybe moto has decided Bionic will be the first device to get JB pushed to it as sort of a test bed for Razar and Droid4, and has decided not to push out ICS atall as long as were talking rumors...
bbtkd said:If they don't do that, I have to wonder if we'll ever get JB (other than in a bottle). After this long drawn out ICS release, how excited will a downsized Moto be to spend as many months prepping and releasing JB for a phone that would by then be 18 months old, no longer sold, and being replaced by millions of then eligible users?
JB is not coming to the bionic

JB on bionic not happening is not a given. JB is a fairly minor update where ics was a full rewrite. Moto has pledged to support phones for the 18 months that Google requests. Of course it could just mean moto takes the full 18 months to put ics out. Come on that was funny. No? Hmmm.

At this point I honestly don't much care when or even if ics is ever ota. My plan back in July was to get a samsung s3 dev phone but Samsung screwed that up by not releasing it. Now I wait to see what Nexus devices get released in November. Coming from an og droid and Xoom to the bionic I've learned a simple truth. Locked bootloaders are bs. You want jb on your phone a few weeks after release? Get a Ged. Preferably one with lots of developer support. My Xoom, which is older than my Bionic and still has no official jb build yet, has been rocking jb since early July. Why? Cause it's unlocked and I can flash whatever I want on it. By the time we get official ics ota on the bionic, the Nexus phones are likely to be within weeks of release if not out already. Quad core, unlockable, with jb. Yea sign me up. In the meantime I'll continue to enjoy the bionic on 238 ICS. The bionic has been an under supported, delayed mess from the start. It surprises me not that all the other phones have ICS already and we sit here delayed, speculating, and waiting. Sounds like the release of the phone itself all over again.

Bionic was just a placeholder until Razor was released. Delayed, changed, and rushed. Probably to look interesting for 4g andIf it is taking this long just to get ics im pretty sure they wont waist the time nor the money or even the headache for that matter, to give an old phone like this a software update. There is just no way.
