ICS on the MAXX

Have we surmised the truth out of this yet?

they make it sounds like its been verified with Matt that its hit some soak group or something. If this is incorrect i'm sure Matt doesn't appreciate being thrown under the bus.

I think that's already been covered several times since the link was first posted.
There hasn't been a soak test yet.
Whoever wrote the first article about it that everyone has been linking to and writing more articles about had their information mixed up and presented everything in a very misleading way (which I'd venture to say wasn't intentional). The update being discussed is in testing internally by Motorola, not in testing by soak testers. It was a misunderstanding and a poorly written article that didn't have all of the facts. And of course, as with all of the rumors about ICS on the RAZR (and all other rumors for that matter), people jumped on it as being truth.
And that Matt isn't the Motorola Matt. It's a different Matt from droidrzr.com. If you look at the linked forum post, it's clear that's just another leak and not a soak test.

Well stated
DROID RAZR MAXXIMIZED!!!! PREPARE TO BE VANQUISHED!!!
Thanks, yeah I saw it was Matt from Droidrazr.com I already knew the difference.
I'm getting sick and tired of this whole thing. this whole thing has become more of a blunder than it has been in the past when waiting for eclair, froyo and gingerbread.

There really isn't anything to be sick and tired of nor has there been anything blundered. Three(3) entities involved here; Motorola, Verizon and US. Best I can tell "Official Channels" have said ONE(1) thing " ICS will be rolled out in Q2".
We aren't at the end of Q2 yet and everybody is getting their panties in a bunch about a "Promise" not made and a "Deadline" not missed ???
Projections are NOT promises nor are they deadlines,,,, they are projections (guesses)
IF the end of Q2 comes and ICS does not roll, I imagine we will receive the Second(2) official statement and still a promise would not have been broken and only the First "deadline" however soft it may have been would have been missed and we don't even know whether that will be the case yet.
So, possibly, maybe WE all just need to chill. Go about our business and before long, time will have passed (faster) and this will all be a distant memory.
Just a thought.

Well said.
the problem are these articles with false or unsubstantiated rumors that are being passed off as facts
dates get circulated that have absolutely no basis in fact and get picked up by other news outlets read by many people and then when the date comes and goes with nothing happening people get upset at Verizon or Motorola for missing a date that was never a realistic possibility to begin with
a perfect example of this was the recent CNET article from a "reliable Verizon source" that the ICS OTA was being released on the 12th of June was picked up and linked to by many other sites and then when the 12th came and went with no news of ICS just like clockwork on the 12th forums that deal with anything related to the razr/maxx were flooded by posts like "where is the ICS update?, damn Verizon and Motorola for missing another deadline, etc."

Yes, and admittedly - I fell for it too (live and learn) NONE of the rumors, inuendo, misinformation can be proved or traced back to either Motorola OR Verizon. Now, they both wear Big Boy pants and do not need my help defending them but, fair is fair and as has been said here lately - lets all just wait and see the time will pass (faster) and before we know it we will all fall in the "Jelly Bean Hole" NEXT IF we allow ourselves. Lets learn from this and not fall in JB hole.
To repeat a behavior with the expectation of a different outcome is by definition...... well, you know the rest:biggrin:
