Hey guys I'm due for an upgrade on October 25th and my x2 is only 3 months old....so here's my question should I just sit on the upgrade and wait to see what's to come or should I jump on the 4g bandwagon now?
X2ATRIX.4
I would wait and see what the Prime and Vigour (I think) bring to the table. Just be careful or you'll be playing the waiting game forever because there is always a new phone on the horizon. Mostly depends on how patient you are.

Yeah and I've read that the quad core phones should also have a separate 5th "low power core" that runs independent of the quad that will aid in preservation of battery for processes that don't require all that power. Sounds very interesting. Could be a huge step for better battery life.

Anyone know when we might get gingerbread?
The droid family is now getting it as OTA :S
I have a feeling motorola is waiting for the next update to release to put on this phone. rather than waste time on an incremental change.
But seeing the original android phones on at&t, this update could be a long ways away. Just my opinion.

where do you people keep getting this idea? The CURRENT version on the atrix supports dual core. It's been proven. What doesn't support dual cores is most apps. The delay is not on a version that supports multicore, so stop spreading that piece of false information.

We all know that the release process goes through the carrier after the manufacturer is done with it. For all we know it could be ATT that is dragging its feet whereas Verizon is moving more quickly.
I, perhaps naively, think that Moto won't drop the ball on its flagship device.

Ha, I was contemplating saying that instead. But to stay serious, this is pretty awesome. I might hold off rooting if the date gets announced soon. I think it was perfect time to get rid of my incredible since it's not in the list.
I heard "later this year" for the Rezound on a recent Verizon twitter post.... I'm not holding my breath. And even this link says "sometime this year". That's pretty vague if you ask me.

Ah... from the thread title I thought it was just about new phones with ICS pre-installed.
Why is it up to Verizon anyway? I don't need to get windows updates from my ISP. I don't get why things have to be so different on cell phones. (Other than greed and control, which leads back to greed.)
Rezound will be the Last to get Update as shown on Verizon List . Nicely done Verizon

I know, I bet if they were to release ICS tomorrow with Sense 4.0 and people would be like "I'm sooo pissed that they didn't give it to us yesterday! I mean, you know they had it ready, why didn't they just release it?".
People just need to relax already, have some patience. Also, I really doubt Verizon had a huge executive meeting/decision for the order in which devices were listed. Plus, with the Rom options available to you for it in the last couple of days - you have you're option RIGHT NOW.

I'm glad I updated from the X2 to the Rezound. I was almost certain the X2 wouldn't get it. It wasn't a very popular phone, it has half the RAM as the Droid Incredible 2 as well I think.
The list is in chronological order, from oldest phone to newest, by manufacturer. No conspiracy against the Rezound.

I'm pretty sure the INC2 and the Thunderbolt have 768MB of RAM and the X2 has 512.
So it would seem 768 is the cutoff point, at least roughly.

So did anyone else get the Sprint message about getting their Photon to run faster, which suggested clearing the browser cache? - Bigger question is did anyone else notice that the Photon in the picture was running either ICS or JB!? It was, complete with the new rounded click/weather widgets and five icons along the bottom of the screen. Now if they'd only distribute and release the source, it would make the devs jobs easier, having ICS/JB drivers.

Well [email protected]! - I read the message and at a quick gander the very subtle differences don't stand out. Of course there's no reason the think those dip-sticks would use the picture of the wrong phone. I was all excited seeing the ICS/JB OS too.
Fingers crossed that new parent Google slaps some sense into Motorola and unlocks the boot loader and releases ICS or JB soon with source code. You know the expression about the chances being slim to none, well slim is on life support I guess.

And is there anything whatsoever in your experience that would conceivably lead you to expect them to be as early as possible rather than as late as possible?
That, of course, leaves aside the question of whether there's anything in your experience that would lead you to expect them to honor this claim in the first place.
Ah ! Moto at it again. With Photon Q LTE out with JB, it is unlikely that we will now get an update to either ICS or JB, even though Google 'promised' to keep hardware refreshed for 18 months. We will most likely be extended an olive branch of $100 credit towards another 'Moto Phone' ... really Moto ?
This is my last Moto phone and likely last Android as well. I am ready to convert to Lumia 920.

Technically the 18 months is not over yet. It has only been close to 14 months since the release of the Photon 4G so Motorola could pull something out of its hat and possibly give us a JB update in early January 2013. All these hints about offering $100 for a future Moto device for any 2011 devices that don't receive the ICS upgrade is pretty telling to me.
When does Samsung plan to release the damn update for this phone.... Besides their decent phone they suck at supporting their phone with updates!!! I need Asus to get back in the game, one thing with them they make great products and they also support their devices in a timely manner...

That might be true - but in the Note's case it is not as they have yet to really make a release where the video and even car bluetooth work. Not to mention the lack of SPEN support and the flakiness.
But on the good side, the Padawin ICS ROM almost eliminates the need to JB at this point - just miss the tablet mode.
