Even with ICS the specs will be old. Its the same as the Razr.
11/11/11 specs in a 2/??/12 phone is outdated.

They won't care. The full keyboard market is a niche market with very loyal clients. They'll accept whatever they can get, and the competition is very limited. I may be in the minority, but I don't really care if it takes a couple months to shoehorn ICS in there, nor do I care if I can't get the next great OS, because it's so bloated it needs a quad core. As long as it works as promised for 2 years that is. Apple gets this. Android's track record doesn't seem so great, but the new generation phones are very powerful, so there's hope. And I have no doubt that much of the fault lies with the manufacturers and the carriers and their skins, etc. All the custom hacks aren't helping stability either. I'm waiting for 4g, a 4" min screen, and a keyboard, with a decent processor. I just hope I don't have to wait too much longer. I'm ready to move on to a new phone.
My concern is that they are testing the hardware now, but really planning to release it in a few months when they get the custom ICS worked out. Let's hope not.

That's ridiculous. Do you really buy a new phone every two months?

You didn't understand. Ill try again for your benefit.
I said the Droid4 had the same specs as the Razr. The Razr was out 11/11/11. When the Droid4 comes out in 2/2012 it will be old tech, even with ICS.

I have been thinking that Moto has decided to delay the D4 until they are ready to release ICS. A February, 2012 D4 release date would fall within the timeframe for Moto's ICS implementation, so there could be something to the concept. If they do delay, it would be a shame.
It's closer to 3 months than 2. And a quarter is the time frame commonly used to measure tech progress. Even back in early Q4 the D4 wasn't especially ambitious tech-wise. Yes, it will be dated tech by release and borderline outdated.
If it comes with ICS at that time, that would compensate some for the old tech, so they might sell a few anyway. Ditto, if it's 'globalized'. If not, dead in the (amniotic) water, as I said.
I'm guessing that if it's not delayed, there may just be a D4G released in Q2 with some updated tech - after the plain old D4 flops.

Well after deciding to wait for the Droid 4, I have decided to upgrade to a RAZR instead. I found that a keyboard isn't worth waiting for and I still need a new phone right now. Also, the RAZR is really an incredibly impressive device.

Welcome aboard the RAZR train. If you live in an area that has LTE coverage, you aren't going to miss the keyboard that much. Speed rules. (Thumbup)

You better believe it! The Razr is awesome! And I'm usually not big on the looks of a device. I'm all about the hardware etc. But this baby is quite nice to look at as well!...lol

I'm lost . Is this the Razor or GNex thread ?
I know the Droid 4 was put back on the shelf , but pushing the GNex or the Razor is just in bad taste . dancedroid
Oh , funny videos TC_Mits .
