you didn't see the same thread posted in the same section before yours with the same engadget link?

For all who asked about where Vibrant and the U.S stands in this, here from the link L1LK1LLERZ posted:
The Android 2.3 upgrade will start with GALAXY S in the UK and Nordic countries from mid-May, and gradually rolled out to other European markets, North America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East Asia, Africa and rest of the world according to the regional plan.

So yea, we're already in mid May which is supposed to be the release date for the U.K while ours should get it later say end of this month?
Good enough for me if that was indeed the case.

Yay! another reason to keep the vibrant.

What is their guarantee that they won't do the same they did with FROYO?

Just be happy we may have the slightest chance of getting Gingerbread.

Dont worry it takes like 2-3 months for tmobile to get it and strip it bare assed.

still waiting on Ginger on galaxy tab? I am already running Honeycomb on my Asus transformer.

Why don't they do OTA updates?

They didn't do OTA updates on the Vibrant for some reason. The Fascinate, Epic 4G, and Captivate got OTA updates to Froyo.
Samsung hates us / T-Mobile said no. :/

That is what I'm wondering. Just because Samsung is ready, doesn't mean we'll get it, right? Doesn't T-Mobile need to mess around with it for a few months too before we see it on our phones? Or is T-Mobile's part already done?

I just saw this on Engadget and came her to post it but found this thread first I myself think Motorola sucks and will get the gs3 if that is still the best option come February/March. The keyboard is really just a luxury for me I prefer on screen keyboards 90% of the time. What are others feelings on Motorola?

Okay, enjoy your ****ty locked bootloader.

If it has the S4 cpu it is mine as soon as my upgrade comes
Also I'm 95% positive this is the rumored photon q

Motorola phones should be getting better since google bought them. I know people that have a razr and all of them love it and it is fast. It's just their ui that's weird. I'm a sense or aosp guy. I keep sense on my 3d but I love aosp ics on my epic
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

Hmm that looks nice. On screen keys smart. If the boot loader doesn't get locked down... I would think about it.
Sent From My Sprint Galaxy Nexus

As one who really likes (needs) to have a physical keyboard, the big appeal for me is the 5th row of dedicated numerals. That was the deciding factor for me over the Evo shift that was available at the time. I would prefer another Samsung, and I would prefer an unlocked bootloader. But if something happened to my epic, and this was the only phone like this available, I would buy it.

For what it's worth, our Moto Rep told us about a month ago he had an inkling that their next flagship phone for us would be a QWERTY slider. Take that for what it is, but this would reaffirm it.

Well, lookie here. I guess the qwerty slider isn't dead after all.

Hey...I'm sure it's a very nice locked bootloader.
If it were a ****ty one anybody could just come in and unlock the thing. And then where would we be?

Let's keep the new phone discussions in the new phone discussion thread.

Really? An unreleased phone still doesn't have source? Do we need to dig up the captain obvious award? Who cares? I was happy for the GSIII community as a whole, no matter what carrier. Are you unable to see without your ATT fanboy goggles? Grow up. At least Verizon customers aren't trying to figure out how to cheat the system to get slower internet to save a couple bucks a month. I cant believe you actually went there.
To anyone else reading I apologize for him, he is still learning how to tactfully cyber-stalk people here. Next time try to be less obvious mmmkay?

If ICS wont come out like Lg 2x..what smartphone next buy?

As we all know that LG 2x wont get ICS last week..
What smartphone after this, so i can change this atrix?
Droid Razr?
Atrix HD? Or else?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app

As other users commented on my thread, it's only cancelled for the Canadian version of O2X. There's still a hope for us Atrix users. And why would you change your phone because you're not getting a software update?
Sent from that Atrix.

All we need is ONE version of ICS to get released, and we are all set.
It's still on par to get released sometime in the 3rd quarter, and last time I checked we're still I'm the 3rd quarter...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Phones don't suddenly stop working if you don't get some future update...
Also, it saves you money to keep it and nobody has canceled anything yet. We have an official statement saying Q3 for the Atrix's ICS update. We then have lots of speculation based on many things regarding it. So let's at least try to stick with Motorola here until they've actually not delivered on their promise.

I'm hoping there will be a new Nexus phone around the end of this year when I am finally able to upgrade. Otherwise, SGS3.

Exactly right. I've never understood this "ZOMG, no updates, must change phone now!!1!11!! eleventy !!1!11!!" logic from supposedly intelligent people. If your phone is very old, sure, I can see upgrading, but a phone that's not even two years old and has what's currently the most prolific version of Android available (Gingerbread)? A phone that, in many ways, still kicks the crap out of most (not all, but most) phones currently in the market? All because it doesn't have a version of Android that, based on what I've seen, has more than a few significant issues on many devices, issues that have been largely resolved with Jellybean (shades of every-other-Windows-release-is-crap syndrome!)? Unbelievable.

I have a better question: what will there be left to talk/worry about once Moto hits us with ICS? JB?

Just make better ROMs and Mods, and keep Atrix growing like the HTC HD2

That gs3 is a beast.. 720p 1.5ghz and 2gb ram. As I recall it lacks HDMI out but I might be wrong. My mom's got one of those after I realized it has an hd screen far and away surpassing the gs2.. plus it's got a.. I'll say lively community

I hate to be the one to say this, but you know when you go back to the root Atrix 4G section, there's a button on the right hand side that says "Search this forum", and if you select "Show posts" and type in "ZTE" and then press "Enter", you'll get around 4 pages of discussion on this topic?
As for which phone to get, a Nexus, I guess. At least if they make one with an SLCD and external storage/32GB internal... I don't really like the lower life-expectancy of AMOLED screens, and I need at least 25GB of data storage space.

Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

i think that more devices will be added as they get updated to ics because maybe right now the locked down gb bootloaders dont work with this tool so they are putting supported bootloaders in the ics roms.

Promising news for non AT&T folks! Finally be able to use an unlocked bootloader without the ramfix step. That is if the Atrix gets ICS with this magic bootloader.
Cheers!

Well hells yeah. Wish I knew more about boot loaders. I'm sure there is probably a way to reverse engineer unofficial ports. I'm greatful and awaiting Droid x unlock. I miss customized kernals

Such a relieving news giving a new ray of hope! Hope older devices like the Defy/Defy+ gets updated soon!

1. The site says its at your carriers discretion. so if you're on VZW, forget it.
1a. Already read somewhere else that if VZW discovers your phone has been unlocked, it will be removed from their network.
2. A lot of phones are getting Kexec builds, which is better than unlocking the bootloader anyways.

They can go blow themselves for not including the original Razr, that was my first and last Motorola Device and it will get replaced at the end of the month.
