Google is cutting about 4,000 jobs at its Motorola Mobility cellphone business and will close or consolidate about one-third of its 90 locations.The reductions represent about 20 percent of Motorola Mobility’s 20,000 employees, and 7 percent of Google’s overall work force. Two-third of the job cuts will take place outside of the U.S., Google said.No Ice Cream for Bionic?http://www.manufacturing.net/news/2012/08/google-cutting-4000-at-motorola-mobility?et_cid=2794329&et_rid=54689999&linkid=http%3a%2f%2fwww.manufacturing.net%2fnews%2f2012%2f08%2fgoogle-cutting-4000-at-motorola-mobility

It bothers me that they are releasing it to the Razor and Razor Maxx first. First, they screw over all of us who waited 8 months for the phone by releasing a better phone after all of us are locked into our contracts after the 30-day trial period. Then, they throw us to the back burner when it comes to updating our inferior phones. I’m still pretty unhappy with Big Red and Motorola. That was a shady business move, and they aren’t even attempting to make up for it.

Here’s my take on it:
“Early Q3″ = July
“Mid Q3″ = August
“Late Q3″ = September
Just because the engineering build is the only one we’ve seen doesn’t mean later builds don’t exist. Could be the Bionic dev team is simply better at covering their tracks. Moto, FWIW, states “rollout begins early Q3 2012″

having used both the razr and the bionic…i can say that if you’re always interested in the next best thing…you’re going to go broke buying phones…the bionic had the probability of being a damn good phone…and from what i’ve heard with the recent updates, it is a damn good phone…and owning a razr at the moment…it didnt bother me that the maxx came out so soon afterwards…i get plenty of juice out of my razr without the extended battery

Android was in development at same time or before the iPhone. But the touchscreen adoption is really to Apple’s credit, as I understand it. It’s funny how crazy people on both sides of the fence can get. I’m happy with my Android but to each their own.

There is no way this will be September in my opinion, that’s not “Early Q3″ which is what motorolas update schedule has it set for (which as far as I know is the most accurate with update info since nothing else pans out). Im not saying its going to come out in July, but it may…With it being pretty vague, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s as late as mid august tho…

Dumbass? hey jackass, if if wasn’t for the iPhone, Androids wouldn’t even exist, or be what it is today and I was referring to the upcoming 4″ screen on the iPhone 5. Don’t be bitter cause your OS gets outdated so quickly.

This is to the Droid owners, not the iTards. I too bought the Lapdock and enjoy using it. I am looking forward to updating to ICS. Using
Firefox, on my Lapdock, I can watch Hulu at no extra charge but I
downloaded Chrome Beta to my wife’s Xoom (which has ICS) and Hulu
recognizes it as Mobile and as such wants to charge for Hulu Plus
because of that. Do you think there will be a way to retain or reload Firefox after ICS and Webdock 3.0 Beta loads?

I was talking about the guy with his Iphone, which is 3.5”.

Hey dumbass, your phone is only 3.5 inches and any version of Android is better than any iPhone. Why did Apple have to copy most of there new features from Android. Even though Android has had all of those features for over two years. And your phone has barely changed since the first version. And you still don’t have widgets or anything that will possibly let you customize your phone. It’s just a piece of crap that has rows of apps and it gets boring so you have to come to a site about good phones to bother people because you are so bored.

Not to be a “Debbie Downer”, but I just want to set expectations with everyone. Motorola is aiming the release for Q3. The chances of Motorola completing the ICS build and Verizon pushing it before the end of September is slim to none.

I work in Systems Development Life Cycle for a Fortune 40 company. If this is truly the “first” engineer build, as it appears to be, I can guarantee you this is still months away from hitting devices. Even if they’re able to complete development over the next 30 days (which is a daunting task), they’ll be only ~2/3 of the way through the project life-cycle, not including any delays caused by Verizon.

I am a proud Bionic owner, but I’m also realistic. If you “expect” this earlier than September, you will be disappointed. I am hoping and praying for July-Aug, but I have to be realistic, and to save you pain and frustration, I hope you are too.

Some Guy Post I think I found ICS for Bionic and it makes it on to droid life…. Don’t give Bionic users any more false hope we can’t take it. We need concrete ICS post.
