what really stinks is i have a feeling they held this so they have something to announce at ces....my guess is quad core is going to be quarter 3 of this comming year and they just dont have a good enough prototype to show off. this droid 4 is filling the spot of what should have been a better phone so they are holding us up over them having something to show off...btw i dont think there is any way this will come with ics in feb i may eat my words on that one (and i hope do), but i really really doubt it. i am mostly assuiming gingerbread and the the ics probably in the late spring
