Isn't that what everyone on android wants? Everyone wants the newest ics leak so their phone performs as well as possible. Apple is smart with not releasing 70 updates a year. And they are able to keep older models up to date. Where as an android can barely keep the phones released 2 months ago up to date.

here is a great article about how ios is fragmented and about how fragmentation is virtually impossible to avoid
an excerpt

Take Android, for example. Because Android can be so heavily customized for different devices and form factors, the app and feature experience across the platform as a whole is varied and uneven. Different screen shapes and sizes, myriad different processors and graphics chips, and gobs of different OS versions have certainly let to schism. Fragmentation in the Android universe, however, is not necessarily by design or with purpose. It simply is. The speed at which the hardware capabilities improve in mere months makes it unavoidable.​

Theory: We will get it whenever Motorola decides to send it to us. Acting raged and calling Verizon and complaining won't make it come any faster. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your 4GLTE Smartphone....

What good is ics if we can't manually switch from 4g to 3g?, we will be stuck on 4g and it will switch to 3g when out of 4g area, living in nor cal this will mean alot of drops when it switches, it does so much that i just stay on 3g most of the time

We don't know for sure what radio options will be in the final ICS build. And even if it's not built into the settings, that doesn't mean one of the LTE/3G switching widgets in the market won't work. And even if none of them do, it's something that a developer somewhere will jump on quickly. So I wouldn't worry about that.

We'll that's what apps are for, but it would be nice if it was in the build, on another note i wonder if foxfi will work on ics, or will it be blocked?

Didn't you mean Android, not ios...?

the article is about ios and mentions other mobile OS's. some people make a big deal about fragmentation but it is inherent to progress as we move forward old things get left behind.

edit: apparently the link didn't get posted http://www.informationweek.com/news/personal-tech/mobile-os/240001980 ... grr:biggrin:

Cool. I wondered if that was the case but since the link wasn't there I couldn't check before asking. Thanks for the update! :biggrin:

FOXFI works fine on the Nexus

I don't see why people are so uptight wanting this release. It will come when it comes...and I hope it isn't anytime soon, because they have so many glitches, bugs, quirks to correct, that it is going to require a complete re-vamp.

Plain and simple...this over glorified phone needs a major over haul...period.

Maybe because Moto sucks at giving any kind of accurate release date or information, and that people have been waiting for ICS on this phone since the phone was released; due to specs on the phone saying "Upgradeable to ICS Android 4.0"

Motorola doesn't suck at giving accurate release date information. With this kind of update, it's nearly impossible to give a hard and fast date until it's 100% done. There's a lot of testing, retesting, and then more testing that has to occur because there are so many things to incorporate and so many potential issues. Then, beyond that, they have Verizon's approval to contend with. They're much better off, as are we, if they give wide time frames for release, like they have by saying Q2.

Now, I'll agree that it's taking all manufacturers way too long to get things ready to go with Android updates. I know it's not easy to create a stable update, and that it takes a substantial amount of time (especially with everyone adding in their own skin and features), but they really need to figure out a way to streamline the process a bit.
