Moto is so very lame.

Solution: Moto hires dhacker and hashcode.

And there was much rejoicing.

Seriously.

This is by no means a put-down on the STS team whatsoever, but if those guys can get something working so fast why the hell can't Moto? Don't they supposedly have some of the best in the business working on this?

No they already have something fully stable with ICS for the RAZR but MOTO just wants you to buy that one with ics on then they will come out with the dev version razr with ics.

[DroidTh3ory]

The RAZR was sold as "Ice Cream Sandwich Ready" Upgradeable. And that was in print.

The lack of depth and blanket statements in the article leads me to believe that "OTHER" MOTO devices for a device wide transition to ICS was more of the Topic. Lets not forget our EU counterpart already has a leak of ICS... Same Hardware.

Yeah I think Th3ory is right, if you remember on the VZW website (and other places) the Razr specs specifically stated that it was ICS ready. The Bionic and similar devices did not but are still on the upgrade list.

[DroidTh3ory]

People got butt hurt when they released the RAZR over shadowing the Abortion known as the Bionic. If they were to push ICS to the RAZR not followed VERY closely by a OTA for the BIONIC and other devices on Various carriers people will throw a fit. Lol.

well moto is probably putting this statement out so when they don't push out ics this year they can say look here we already said we were having hardware problems.

Reading that reminds me of this:

“That,” replied Hardin, “is the interesting thing. The analysis was the most difficult of the three by all odds. When Houk, after two days of steady work, succeeded in eliminating meaningless statements, vague gibberish, useless qualifications—in short all the goo and dribble—he found he had nothing left. Everything canceled out. Lord Dorwin, gentlemen, in five days of discussion didn't say one @$#%^ thing, and said it so that you never noticed. There are the assurances you had from your precious Empire.”

No point in getting mad over, essentially, nothing.

[SoLongSidekick]

I'm just as down with the Moto bashing as everyone else but that's a little over the top. They obviously already have a build near completion as mentioned above, which actually begs the question; what the hell are they waiting for?

You guys are too cynical. Go look at hashcode's personal blog, where he discusses frustration trying to get the camera to work with ICS on whatever phone he is developing for. Also, Cyanogen(mod) just recently put out a blog post update saying essentially the same thing as Motorola - they are stuck waiting for the manufacturers who made the cameras, etc. to build ICS drivers for them, and that's why they can't get a CM9 build completed. I haven't looked at these ICS ports that guys are mentioning, but I notice that all or most of the custom ROMs have issues, forced closes and hardware that doesn't work. Device driver development is hard, especially interfacing with complex hardware, and these companies can't put out a product until they get it right. Have patience. It will come. Meanwhile, the RAZR with a custom launcher and apps is a joy to use. I'm not even sure ICS will give me anything I don't already have up and running.

hey i don't mind waiting for a stable build. as long as moto doesnt say something like ics will be sometime second quarter of 2012 then whey that time comes they release a statement saying we couldnt get ics to work on the current models and you have to buy this new model with ics on it.

If we had an unlocked bootloader like they have in the labs that Moto develops stuff in, that would not be a problem.

You mean the original engineering schematics, firmware code, and developers that built the stuff?
