Razr owners might not be waiting that long........then again, who knows

I think he probably meant sim free.

Ok, Sim Free will get the update.They release all the versions at once(t-mobile.orange,sim free.....)

Would be very nice if that happens to be the case, but as said before - Motorola aren't exactly a trustworthy company when it comes to release dates.

6 weeks for the US = 6+ months for Europe.

From my experience (Defy) sim free phones can only get updates from this site. http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/support/update/
For the UK it's even slower than network releases and completely different to someone like HTC.

So the Razr could be out of date in 6 weeks time? Thats a bit depressing...

 

[mrk]

That's not what it says at all?

No, it will be bang up to date with a new version of the O/S.

Oh right I though it meant Motorola were releasing new hardware in 6 weeks time that would have ICS on it?

 

[kona786]

So you have zero faith in Google and Motorola?

Until they actually deliver the goods I won't trust Moto with updates.

yeah, the Razr

 

[kona786]

yeah, the Razr

RAZR isn't coming with ICS on it - it comes with 2.3.

Which isn't a problem if it gets updates to ICS in jan/feb

Thought we were talking about 6 weeks after release of the RAZR.

Everyone knows that the Galaxy Nexus has first dibs on ICS

 

[sarge78]

^ It's 6 weeks after Google release the source code, not 6 weeks after the Razr has shipped. We've only got the SDK so far.

That'll probably happen a month or so after the Galaxy Nexus has weeded out any bugs. Isn't that what happened with the Nexus S and Gingerbread?

Seriously, expect a long wait. Google hasn't purchased Motorola yet and they don't have resources/staff for a speedy European update.

Has anyone here used the most recent version of motoblur? Trying to look for info about it, but all I can find are Moto fanboys saying its amazing, and Moto haters, well... Hate it

Thanks a lot! I've been looking for something as informative as that since the announcement of the phone! I think that has shown me all I need to know, the phone will be preordered on thursday (payday! ).

I actually really liked the look of the Motoblur UI, seemed to suit the industrial-ish style of the actual phone.

Lots of bezel!

 

[sarge78]

Bezel's are underrated! Ideally I'd have more space on the bottom... so you can hold it properly without activating the capacitive buttons. (one of my pet peeves with the Defy)

I'd recommend picking up a cheap Atrix if your after a dual core/qHD Motorola phone right now (£199 for a refurbished one) The Razr's cost will drop significantly after a few months.
