Last week an image from Best Buy's internal systems showed that the Motorola Droid RAZR/Maxx update to Android 4.0 were due to be pushed on April 4th. As we all know, it's now April 5th and RAZR/Maxx owners are still without the update. So what happened? According to a Best Buy tipster the updates have been delayed and he/she provided a screenshot. The tipster did not mention when the updates would be pushing out and there was also no mention or why it was delayed.

What's interesting to note is that the Rezound's update has not been cancelled, so we will see if this screenshot holds any water. There always seems to be controversy surrounding Android OS upgrades and things have not changed with ICS. It's coming, it's not, it's due then, it's been delayed. A good rule of thumb is to never believe the first 4-5 rumors that make the rounds. Nine times out of ten they are never right. What say you? Legit screenshot, or is someone trying to cover their buttocks?

OK so out of all the reading I have seen so far it has been said that it is .181 and the soak started this morning (unsure if it did or not)

ICS was found on the servers via CC but has since vanished.

Best Buy article above showing ICS delayed until next week.

If Im understanding this correctly it sounds like 2 updates are coming in the next week but maybe I am just tired or not reading everything right.

You mean to tell me that best buy was wrong? They are usually a great and reliable source.

My theory is...that ICS is farther along than Moto thought it would be. At the last minute they scrapped the GB soak and are planning an ICS soak early next week. Just a theory, I have no evidence.

What are you people talking about? Read the latest screen shot. It basically says that the April 4th update notice was a typo and that ONLY the HTC Rezound is getting ICS on the 6th. It's says NOTHING about when or if the Razr is being updated at any determined future date. Those of us who are running the leak, hurray for us, for the legit OTA, I think it's safe to assume we can all count on the June/July estimates that everyone has been saying for quite some time. This IS Moto we're talking about..
They're in no rush and don't give two shits about what their loyal followers have to say about it. (ex. Boot loaders)

Quite honestly I'm thinking (and hoping) the same. I'm in the soak and have been waiting all day to no avail. I think they mixed up the updates and ICS was supposed to be the soak. Why else was ICS on the servers?

what says me? Well it's good to see a leaked ICS version for starters. It's a good sign that it's definitely in the works, and our phone isn't getting ignored. They are working hard on it. My phone works perfect on 2.3.6 so I will wait patiently. BestBuy doesn't know jack $#!+ about phone updates.

If you are sitting with your phone the day of the "rumored" update spamming the "System Updates" button and VERIZON has yet to release info on the update - then you are a bit naive and or you need to get more hobbies. Notice how I said that last part as gently as possible. The actual response for checking for "System Updates" should be this: "Hey buddy, don't call us - WE'LL CALL YOU"...

i wouldn't trust best buy at all. why would they have any info in updates? the only thing is they are third party retailers. it is indeed good news that there was ics on the servers and that it will be sooner than june/july. i would expect it early may.
