LG Optimus 2X indeed is the world’s first dual-core smartphone (both announced and released). This achievement was acknowledged by the Guinness World Records – the Optimus 2X is the first dual-core phone available to the public.

Do you have a link that says atrix isn't being updated, or is this just because they haven't said?
This is what motor says A note about Ice Cream Sandwich: We are planning to upgrade DROID RAZR, Motorola RAZR, Motorola XOOM and DROID BIONIC by Motorola to Ice Cream Sandwich. We will provide more precise guidance on timing after post-public push of Ice Cream Sandwich by Google, as well as any possible additions to this list of devices. And here Is the link. http://moto.ly/icsboot

Ah yes, so they never said Atrix wouldn't get ICS, they just didn't include it in their list of devices, which (not so coincidentally) only refers to Verizon products. They probably haven't worked it out with the other providers yet, or more likely Verizon is being given a market headstart. If Motorola will not provide ICS for a phone, they will more than likely come out and say it.
Check out https://supportforums.motorola.com/community/manager/softwareupgrades
You will see phones definately not getting upgraded say so (i.e. CHARM MB502
Will remain on Android 2.1)
Per Motorola's own list posted above, seems Gingerbread is still being rolled out for the Atrix in Latin America in Q4 (talk about slow).
Maybe that is why they are not announcing weather ICS is, or is not, planned yet for the Atrix? Otherwise the phone itself is more than capable of handling ICS.

Whats with some peoples attitude on here. This was a good post thank u op. Another tegra 2 device that was confirmed for ics i definately am glad u started this thread gives moto no excuse for not updating the atrix

i don't believe there are 2 million threads about it! and it wasn't a question, it wasn't put in the development section, it wasn't put in themes and apps. It was put in GENERAL!! get over it!!
anyhow i live in the UK and i haven't even got an official gingerbread update yet!! lol my old desire even got an official one and that phone is 18 months old now.
i do hope that we get an official release, but even if we don't there will be a cyanogen release (CM9 i believe)
FINGERS CROSSED!!
I find the topic relevant. Let's stay on topic, though.
Moto sucks! CM9 FTW!
I had a samsung Vibrant before this beast, only switched 4 days ago. And there we barely had a working GB since there was never an official release, meaning no gps drivers, video codex, crappy battery life...etc. While here I'm having all those plus much more with the 1gb ram (real multitasking for a change!). Yet now I find myself already freaking out about ICS
How addictive can Android be!!!

i believe we will get ICS for the Atrix...however some things to think about are: we also just got GB, its most likely that we will get it anywhere between 6 months to a year from now at least...and...
How are they going to incorporate such a HUUGGEEE software change...that being UI overhaul and the general mechanics of ICS...with Motoblur? or will they drop motoblur all together... finger crossed at dropping motoblur personaly
Since the Atrix is end-of-life, I doubt we'll see such a major upgrade as ICS. Our best bet for the first ICS port will be CM9.
I would expect an ICS update from the manufacturer when the Mariners win a World Series.
Give up hope for Motorola to provide an official update to ICS, but keep hope for CM9, which is basically a guarentee

This is my first Motorola phone and I actually hopped to ATT for the Atrix and so far, I really dont have anything bad to say.
Now that my intro is done... anyone have any insight when MOTO/ATT will push Gingerbread to the Atrix?
I'm hoping summer... what does everyone else think?
edit: when I poll for winter, its winter at the end of this year, not right now....
So far we're speculating for fall...
Hopefully with the attention that MOTO has with the Atrix and the Xoom, maybe they'll hire some extra engineers to push something by summer...
look at Milestone, they still on 2.1.
so I guess we won't get 2.3 until 2012
I really hope they upgrade directly to Ice Cream in winter, skipping Gingerbread. Ah well, hope springs eternal, as they say...
Crap in one hand and wait on gingerbread in the other, see which one gets full first.
It is bs the phone should not have been released without gingerbread.
They are already developing ginger bread. Look in dev forum. Someone had a dev dump if ginger bread at some point

gingerbread is pointless.
ice cream is what we need. I rather have them skip gingerbread and work straight onto ice cream.

Actually Motorola are known to update their flagship phones. The milestone never for updated because it was not one. The Droid x was released with 2.1, updates to 2.2 and will be getting 2.3 soon.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Since the Atrix is a flagship dual-core, I think we'lll see it sooner rather than later. Especially since we have a Gingerbread dump in the dev forum already... that's some nice signs for a spring/summer update.
Its really interesting seeing the wide range of dates when people think we'll get it.
I would really like to see the update soon, but it doesn't look likely. It is more likely I will end up with the Galaxy S2 / iphone 5 or some new HTC phone before we see an update.
now that motorola is releasing the Droid x2?
Both phones have the tegra 2 chip and motoblur but the droid x2 is releasing with gingerbread out of the box. If motorola has developed GB for this release, maybe a GB update for the Atrix isn't far behind.
Just trying to keep my hopes up.
I would tend to agree. Is it launching with 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?

Says here 2.2.2

Where did you see Gingerbread?
What the hell Motorola?! Why would you release a device with 2.2.2 when ICS is right around the corner?

I think you just answered your own question right there. Why invest more in QA and further development in "skinning" and slowing down 2.3 with Motoblur, if ICS is truly coming soon. However, it's Motorola and we all know their stance on customers' demands.
They have done a nice job in customer response for the atrix

The latest from the official Moto forums gives some hope for a timely GB release:
juniorsgv: i like the refer to link by forum manager. (later this year for 2.3), quarter 4, ice cream supposed to be released. so basically we will be behind everyone else. terrible for first android device they touted to be most powerful and dual core. i won't be buying motorola in the future after this one.
Mark (Forums Manager): You're probably referring to previous posts that included a link here. I think you're pessimistically looking at the "later this year". Soon as we get closer to the release date I anticipate we'll put up better information on our Android Upgrade News page as well.

Well... he does seem to usually try to keep everyone informed in more of a *hint hint* way, and less of a "you're fired" way.... so i think it'd probably be a good bet that he means it. I mean, he did try to inform us as much as he could about the HSUPA update coming without flat out saying it.

Theres people asking moto on there facebook page if the atrix 2 will get ics. I also told then the og atrix people want continued support for the og atrix. Heres what they said. Like · Comment · 3 hours ago
Motorola We'll be releasing devices for ICS 6 weeks after Google releases the final version of it. What do you like most about your ATRIX 2 so far? Have you tried the universal lapdock?
Motorola We'll be releasing devices for ICS 6 weeks after Google releases the final version of it
So pretty much same answer too both they have no plans to issue ics updates.just new devices with ics
Unlocked bootloader + Cyanogenmod = continued support. Many of us got this phone because it screamed future proof, and its got more than enough power for ICS. Even if not through Motorola, the Atrix will get Android 4.0.
Maybe no ICS. Maybe yes ICS. Why the f start a new thread?!
Moto knows what there going too do. They have known for awhile why so cell phone companys feel that we do not. Have. The right too know these things. Better communication would be a much happier consumer.
The Atrix is still in GREAT SHAPE!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, people are STILL BRAGGING about their Nexus 1s. How old is that phone?
We have an unlocked bootloader, which will guarantee us some version of ICS (official or not who cares)
IMO the problem started when the Atrix 2 came out. (Which is not even a true Atrix successor)
If the Atrix 2 never gets released, none of these topics would be popping up.
Everything is fine, and there is a TON of life left of the Atrix...

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
not as of yet but there's an awesone ICS theme on the market that works perfectly over CM ¬B^¬N.
This was discussed in depth in several different threads go here http://www.motorola.com/blog/2011/10/24/ice-cream-and-bootloaders-and-motorola-–-oh-my/. Most likely it will not recieve ics but click the link and keep checking it. Or if u dont feel like clicking it heres what it says.. A note about Ice Cream Sandwich: We are planning to upgrade DROID RAZR™ by Motorola, Motorola RAZR™, Motorola XOOM™ and DROID BIONIC™ by Motorola to Ice Cream Sandwich. We will provide more precise guidance on timing after post-public push of Ice Cream Sandwich by Google, as well as any possible additions to this list of devices
I dont understand why the atrix shouldnt get the 4.0 update when we have great top shelf specs but i bet the sensation will get it and we have the same processor speed but the atrix has more ram so were more then capable of running 4.0 but i guess because the atrix 2 is out thats a shame will we get it with cyanogen tho?
Yes we will get it with cm9 its an officially cyanogenmod supported device but the atrix 2 kay not even get it. But both might as well not anytime soon though. They want too release new devices with ics so people will buy them and they make more money. They dont make money updating current phones too ics
Still no GB here in UK & I doubt it ever will - So no chance ICS.
Motorola are too lazy & want you to buy a new phone with each software update - So I am gonna do that - I'm getting the Galaxy Nexus. Stuff moto
I don't think most of us are too concerned about an "official" ICS from Moto..but rather getting a port of some sort.
1. Wrong section.
2. There are many threads about this already.
3. Please view motorola's official website about upgrades for future reference.
4. Motorola only stated that 4 devices, excluding Atrix 4G and Atrix 2 will get ICS but did also mentioned that it is possible that other devices MIGHT be added to this list.
5. CM9 can get us a port but the drivers will not be optimized for ICS as Motorola has to optimize them for ICE first. Therefore, even if we get a ported version it won't work at it's full potential.
6. Please close this thread.

Alright, so many of you know that Motorola announced that it would in fact bring a software update for Ice Cream Sandwich to the Atrix. I emailed Motorola a few days ago and asked them when the update would come out.
This was the answer I received to my ETA question:
"The Ice Cream Sandwich(Android 4.0) Software Upgrade rollout for the AT&T Motorola ATRIX begins on the third quarter of 2012."
I guess that would mean we get ICS (officially) sometime this summer?

I personally can't wait for Neutrino to be CM9 (ICS)!
But, I'm glad Motorola is going to release ICS for the Atrix. I figured since they were focused on newer devices, they wouldn't bother anymore. Even the Atrix 2 is out now.
I don´t really care where it´s from as long as i get ICS on my atrix. It still has a lot to give.
Thru use of deductive reasoning (lol )
One of the main speculations in the past as to why ICS wouldn't come to the Atrix was because of the webtop, and having to code a new webtop to work with the Motorola Code?
Since Canonical is openly advertising Ubuntu for Android, and the important line that its 'laptop environment' isn’t dependant or intrusive to the OS loaded to the phone. Maybe Moto is simply giving us ICS for the phone, with the Canonical software loaded. thus abandoning its proprietary 'webdock' for something that can be used across its entire lineup?
Thoughts?

That would be amazing... A bit hard to believe considering Moto's past, but still worth dreaming about.
yes
that is amezing i am really waiting for it thanks man for telling me this
Since Moto is heavily marketing the new RAZR with a very similar lapdock, I am fairly certain they worked out the issue with webtop and decided to throw us dinosaur-riders a bone.
However, the truth is - once I saw video of the new Asus padfone I was ruined. As soon as they are reasonable my Atrix and all its docks and accessories will be up for sale with no regrets.
