Hold on, let me get my shocked face ready — okay, here it goes: the Verizon DROID RAZR won’t be getting Android 4.0 today *gasp*! After a CNET report which pegged the update for June 12, many Verizon customers took to their respective social networks to harass Verizon as to when they can expect to see the update. Unfortunately, Verizon’s response was the usual “we do not have a date for ICS on the RAZR yet.”

Android 4.0 has begun rolling out to all Verizon Motorola XOOM customers after a brief soak test last week. The update is being pushed in phases and brings with it the awesomeness of Ice Cream Sandwich and a whole slew of features and fixes. Check below for the full changelog:

Starting midnight PT tonight, Wirefly will begin offering the 32GB Motorola DROID Bionic for the low price of FREE for new accounts. Believe it or not, the DROID Bionic was once one of the most sought after devices and the first dual-core 4G LTE device on Verizon. It didn’t have the best of releases, enduring countless delays and launch issues, but that is all water under the bridge and the Bionic has since been updated numerous times and rid of its many bugs.

Unless you have an ASUS device, you’re probably waiting to be updated to Android 4.0. While Motorola did manage to bring Ice Cream Sandwich to the XOOM, they’ve left the rest of their devices in update limbo. In an effort to calm user frustration, Motorola has updated their Ice Cream Sandwich schedule — as if that helps. It appears the RAZR brand will see Android 4.0 sometime in Q2, while the DROID 4 won’t be seeing Ice Cream Sandwich until Q3.


Wirefly has discounted the price of the Verizon DROID RAZR to $49.99 for anyone willing to sign up for a new two-year contract. While I’d personally go with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (which they are also offering for $49.99), if for some reason you’re in the market for a DROID RAZR, this is good deal. It’s on par with what Amazon Wireless is charging for the RAZR and is $50 less what you’d pay over at Verizon.
