So, did Verizon just choose not to mention a BUNCH of stuff from the update (seen in the Motorola changelog) or what?

Just get ICS already, 173 is a big improvement, it runs well, has a bigger than stated impact on standby battery use, and really seems to solve data connectivity issues. It’s a far cry from what everyone on any form of razr wants, which is ICS and an unlocked bootloader, it is nice for now, but so far motorola has stumbled out of the gate with a very impressive phone that is being hampered by an overcontrolled bootloader. This phone has been terribly unfriendly to the developer community and the developer edition was viewed by most as a slap in the face rather than the answer to the problem, since most of the people who would have considered the phone a viable option were already invested in a previous edition and the developer edition wasn’t suported or offered by carriers meaning you would pay the full $600+ pricetag out of your own pocket. Motorola has dropped the ball on what would have been a top 3 option.

Everyone’s opinions was the Bionic was outdated when it released and taking too long to be re-engineered. Wonder what the Motorola sight says.

This is what I’ve been thinking. I RSD’d down to stock for the soak test and I’m getting pretty peeved that the soak hasn’t started yet!

Will the update kill my root? If so, does the same root method work as before?

Moto just threw the Bionic owners under the bus.

I just updated the last OTA, (I just got the phone) and it didn’t break root because I used OTA rootkeeper. Well, it DID break root but I backed it up with rootkeeper then restored it after the update. If you don’t do this then I think that the update will break root.

Guess this means that those of us on the Motorola Feedback Network that are invited for the soak test are testing ICS… whoops! Did I say that out loud?

Hooray, just what I wanted…V CAST App now comes preloaded. My bloatware life is now complete.

Verizon is the equivalent of Dell 7 years ago, but at least that junk you could remove without jumping through hoops.
