Will photon receive it?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
A lot of speculation about it.. Supposedly third quarter of 2012 according to offical releases. Assuming you mean official release, if not we already have CM9/MIUI/AOKP all ICS based roms. Here is some reading for you about it

Hello,
While some do not believe it will see the light of day due to the Photon being EOL, I truly believe we will see the Update as it has been announced. I am honestly more concerned about whether or not Sprint is going to release a Motorola LTE Android Handset. While I can upgrade as of next Month (last Sprint Premier Annual Upgrade), I am planning on waiting it out until an ideally Motorola Quad Core LTE Handset is released. If not that, I will sadly get the iPhone 5, but I really do not want it to come to that. Definitely not getting the HTC EVO 4G LTE.
Cheers,
JJ

Sprint Premier customers who would've become eligible this year have one more upgrade even though the program is gone. Expires at the end of the year IIRC.

I chatted with a rep about getting an early upgrade and heres what he said:
Francis S.: Yes, I have check that the early upgrade promotion is running from 3/18/12 - 5/20/12 on stores.
Francis S.: For that you need to visit your nearest Sprint store as this offer is only offered on Sprint stores.
Anyone have any clue about this?

Even though Sprint ended early upgrades for premiere customers, you still get one last one. Just an FYI. A lot of people probably got the Evo 3D on launch day, so come June people in the premier program should be good to go.
Not sure what program the Sprint representative was talking about here, but is there really any phones dropping before 5-20 that you would want to upgrade to?

If you are a premiere customer you get an upgrade every year, or at least used to. Sprint ended early upgrades. However, every premier customer gets one last one before the end of the year.
I used my early upgrade on the 3D and am eligible for an upgrade June 6th.

I got mine on launch day. Was an early upgrade from the original evo, which I believe was an early upgrade from the pre.
Anyways, according to Sprints website, I'm good to go for an upgrade June 6th. The upgrade must be used before the end of the calender year.

They ended the premiere program right before the launch of the 3D. I called in and they said I still have mine for that year, so I used it on the 3D on launch day.

I'm the same way, except I didn't qualify for my upgrade until July 3rd. I believe I have until the middle of December this year to use my final annual upgrade. Still trying to decide what that next device will be & after I got ICS on this bad boy I'm not too sure I'm in much of a hurry - I may have to wait to see what's on the horizon behind the EVO LTE & the GSIII.

Well well Sprint, you're giving "my" ICS update to an identical phone on one of your ****ty degraded networks before you give that update to me. Sprint, you're crazier than hell if you think I'm gonna shell out more cash for one of your LTE devices when I won't even be able to use LTE in the forseeable future (and be locked in for another 2 years)! David Owens, you sir are an idiot!
But all is well, because thanks to the great devs at XDA, I have my update already!
I'm right there with you, man. Sure, the EVO 4G LTE looks nice, aside from the multi-colored back. But it's biggest selling point, the LTE, won't be in my area for over a year. Makes no sense to go with a phone that gets slower network speeds when my 3D is suiting me perfectly fine with a WiMAX rich area.

both you guys are missing it completely....the phone is a HUGE upgrade over the 3D. no question about it. 10000x better Camera, and screen. The Chip in it is 10000000x better than the S3 snapdragon in the 3D too....
the only valid point against getting it is the one that if in a strong wimax covered area and you use wimax a lot currently...then and only then could you really justify not getting the LTE if $ wasn't the issue...

I'm still sticking with the 3D lol. Also I figured Sprint would hold out on that update due to a new line of phones. So the folks who get a new phone will be drooling over new software .

I wouldn't blame it entirely on HTC. No way was Vzw about to let an HTC device get an ICS update before the RAZR.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, my blame should have been toward Verizon mostly. I really do hate Verizon between forcing us off our grandfathered plans, loading their phones with bloat and delaying updates.
I'm most likely waiting till the new iPhone and new Nexus devices come out (later this year most likely) and then buy one outright and hand my phone to my mother so we can stay on unlimited data. Nexus because of AOSP, iPhone because Apple usually gets what Apple wants and doesn't let the carriers load their phones with rubbish (Same with the nexus).

Exactly. Also they wouldnt let it get ICS before the HTC Incredible 4G LTE came out. That is their new top of the line HTC phone they sell. If the Rezound had ICS it would be more desirable than it because of the HD screen.

Try telling that to AT&T's support people. I have a co-worker who has been dealing with them for a week because they dropped her data plan when she got a Galaxy Nexus (unlocked) to replace her Atrix which got stolen. Their system doesn't recognize the phone, so it apparently refuses to let them set it up with a smartphone data plan. I told her she should try going into the store and see if they can fix it (and refuse to leave until it is).
I ran into something similar when I was with them a couple of years ago. I bought an unlocked Nokia E63 (technically a smartphone), but their system insisted on letting me keep my $30 unlimited data + text plan at the time, instead of making me upgrade to more expensive separate data and text messaging plans. I'm guessing in order to force people who get smartphones onto smartphone plans, they have to program their billing system to know which phones are considered smartphones. If you bring your own device, it throws a monkey wrench into that process. The US carriers take a good idea (portability, which is inherent in the way GSM works) and completely screw it up.

When the Rezound came out, HTC announced that the Rezound would one of the first phones to receive ICS in I believe January or February. That was later changed to Mayish and then changed to July. Granted this is likely Verizon's fault but its still unfortunate that HTC has to bend to Verizon's will when Google and Apple basically say **** you to them which is why I'm likely going to either the iPhone or next Nexus depending on which hardware is more enticing.
