Really?? The ICS source has been out for all of what, 2 weeks, and your expecting new phones to already have it? Im sure both the D4 and the RAZR will have ICS in Q1 2012.

I agree, D4 won't have ICS on release. But either by OTA or rom it should have it by Spring. The D3 took just 6 weeks to a reliable 1-click root. And the main focus of rom development now, I would think, will be porting ICS to as many phones as possible. I'd love to have it on my DX... [and/or on the used T-bolt I'm looking for (PM)] ...in case I hold out for summer and the D5.

We do have choices.

You insinuated that they're so busy working on Blur that they dont have 'timely software updates', and considering the topic was the lack of ICS on D4 at launch...

I just received two more bits of info from my source:

The test unit should arrive on Tuesday and once that happens pictures and info should follow shortly.

And as for the reason for any hold ups, in a single word: Verizon. According info gathered "Moto wants to make world phones and Verizon doesn't want that"

Interesting...
Anything yet , it is past Tuesday .
Just curious .

Wait, what's going on? You're getting your hands on a D4?

Not me, but I've been contacted by a member who is going to be a device tester and has asked me to proxy his info/pictures to the rest of you.

with they be bringing 3d to d4??? i would like that :)

Unlikely, since they downgraded the screen from the RAZR's amoled and the D4 is not a media phone.

Cute juxtaposition, though.
