1) it its not Motorola, but Verizon that is stalling the updates, and if you are ready to ditch moto, your as smart as a football bat being that google has acquired Motorola.

2) there is still no update for the xyboard

3) Verizon did leak all of the updates in July.

Agreed and ya people might bitch too much but with this phone more I can recall so than any other, maybe thunderbolt, I feel like it’s warranted. Honestly, I think we can agree they’re obviously out to make money but I have to think that if developers are releasing ICS scripts with very few bugs, the developers at motorola have the update perfected. If they don’t they maybe motorla needs to hire the developers that are shaming their employees that have the inside knowledge. Regardless, we’ve waited this long…whats a few more weeks.

Hey Chris, well no I don’t work for Verizon and trust me I know what you mean about calling in. I too agree that half the time or more I call in and the representative doesn’t have a clue what I’m talking about when it comes to questions I have about my device or other things. And yes true Motorola and Verizon were at the cutting edgw of technology in some aspects still are but I just think alot of it has to do with Motorola and Verizon trying to push out products and updates to fast. They used to take their time and make sure it was all great before any word would get out about what they were doing or had in the works. Now it’s less about the customer and more about making money. I was fortunate enough to have the unlimited data plan before Verizon removed it from their offered plans and moved into tiers. If you ask me alot of what’s done is, to try to move the consumer into purchasing more devices and expensive plans thay give us less. None the less I still think some people bitch to much. All the same in the end I think technology is moving way to fast for the companies themselves. I notice more and more how companies are finding themselves introuble with the fact that because technology is moving way to fast for them they find they cant train their employees fast enough to get up to speed. So they can help customers like us with questions we may have. I just wish Motorola would stop dicking around and properly release statements instead of keeping us in the dark.

Seriously, learn how to read and compare the bionic product spec sheet to your “real phone” before you comment in a public forum and make yourself look ignorant.

Let me guess you work for Verizon? Jk you make a valid point, maybe two, but you overlook the fact that Verizon and Motorola used to dominate the industry because of their insane technology, product build, AND UNBEATABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! Half the time I call Verizon i get someone who doesn’t know what a dual core processor is, true story, which is why I don’t waste my time calling them. Bottom line Verizon and Motorola keep making promises they can’t make good on and are pissed that the og droid users who made them what they are today still have unlimited data packages. They already have our money so they figure if they dangle a a sweet treat in front of us long enough we’ll just give up and get a new device and contract, and increase their bandwidth/profit margin. I’m with Justin, I’m keeping my unlimited data plan with Verizon . maybe I’ll buy a prepaid phone and just leave netflix looping on my bionic for a couple months and see how they like being jerked around. “deuces”

I think this is my last Motorola because of this. I have a couple of friends with the new Samsung and it looks awesome.

I downloaded the leak for Bionic, but a little scared to install.

Ya’ll should read more. Verizon released an official press statement. Ice Cream is going live for Bionic in less than 30 days. And I’m sorry but f*ck everyone who says Verizon is taking care of Bionic users last. Do you guys call in do you do ur own research and inquire why we’re one of the last ones. It’s because ICS had a huge problem with the video player on the o.s. and let me guess you guys would have wanted the software with all the bugs and everything right. Instead of waiting for them to fix it and you come on here and bitch at this poor womans blog who’s only trying to inform you guys of updated info and you guys go all postal saying well looky here waaahhhhh another device gets it before I do. If you ask me half of you here shouldn’t get the update just for bitching about how long it’s taking. No wonder half of you people will never amount to anything you’re to busy bitching about an o.s. that was never intended for us anyways. If you ask me were lucky to be getting it. So be thankful were in the list rather than bitching please. Deuces.

In addition to what he said, the bionic has essentially the same hardware as a RAZR (same processor, although different clock, same amount of RAM, etc.). The main differences are the case and the screen.

I’m going to 4th this because I’ve been waiting for it since July (which is early 3rd quarter). Not that at this point it really makes any difference… I’m going to pick up the RAZR HD when it arrives in September – off contract of course… keeping my unlimited data!
