Here We Go Again.. ICS Release Date May Be Close!!

[badjedi]

I just went to try and manually update and I got the message that "check for updates is not available right now"... Odd?

Normally it just says "your software is up to date "

My phone has been saying the same thing for the past couple of days, which I thought that might indicate that the update is close to happening.

Ok, there are so many ICS threads now, I can barely keep up. I did just read somewhere though that one reason for the delay has been that instead of getting 4.0.3 we will now be getting 4.0.4. Is this old news or could this really be the holdup?

The "source" that said the release would be June 12th also said it had been delayed from a May release to June 12th because of 4.0.4. But of course, that was 100% rumor.

Last I seen the problem was with Verizon's servers they were working on them .

Believe it or not, some people purchase a phone with the intentions of using it for the entirety of their contract. Just because a better phone comes out doesn't make the ones before obsolete.

Conversely, just because you are under contract with a phone doesn't guarantee it will not become obsolete prior to the end of your contract. Technology moves much faster than Verizon's lengthy contractual period.
Nevertheless, I am one of those people that likes to hang on to a phone as long as possible...but the razr maxx has been a disappointment to me from the beginning. I was thrilled with my DX even after it was technically obsolete and would have stayed on it longer but for a Verizon offer to move me to upgrade to 4g phone early at a substantial discount.

I think anyone who has had very many smart phones has been disappointed in at least one. My Razr Maxx has performed flawlessly. I went through four X2's and never had one that worked correctly. I understand technology evolves at a rapid pace, but I don't think most people get the newest, greatest thing every time it comes out. I'm sure there will be plenty of Maxx owners whenever ICS arrives.

Asking tech support or customer service about upcoming releases (software or hardware) is basically the same as talking to a brick wall. They'll tell you the same opinions you already know. Even of they did know, they're prohibited from informing customers until the official public release.

To give you a very good example... I've been asking since Jan. when the XOOM is going to be updated to ICS and I've repeatedly been told late 2012. My most recent conversation was on June 3, when I was again informed late 2012. On June 4, XOOM was updated to ICS.

Whenever a VZW employee is asked, they're going to generally just give you the information off of Motorola's generic upgrade timeline list... and this happens to be more true with call center employees.

So here's the point... if you want accurate information about release dates, don't call VZW and ask an employee... spend a little time on Google and research it. Unlike employees for VZW, journalists and bloggers have better access to information and will inform you AS SOON as they receive new information. You can have whatever opinion you want about CNET, however they've proven they're amazing journalists who report factual information based upon facts and evidence. Considering CNET also said the XOOM was going to be updated on June 4, then I trust them when they say ICS will be pushed to the RAZR's today. This holds even more weight when you consider why ICS wasn't released in May, which was due to VZW's update servers having to be updated from ICS 4.0.3 to 4.0.4... and this has been confirmed from numerous sources. So by taking everything into account, you can make a fairly accurate inference.

But again, you're welcome to have whatever opinion you like.

Settle down Beavis- you obviously read between my sarcastic lines waaay too much.

The thing with cnet and others is their trying to inform us on the information thats given. Witch is verry little since verizon is so tight liped on the subject. An if i were them i would be to. Its easer for them to say late 2ndQ an lead you to think the hang up is with motorola. Then their servers. Im starting to think this is a trend with verison. The kings of misinformation an employee will tell you one thing and you call them up an its never the same allways different. So my hats off to you verizon. Got us again.....
