Motorola Razr HD Jelly Bean (4.1) Late December
I heard from my store rep when I bought the phone it was end of November, but I don't trust either to be accurate until I see an update.zip. At least it's confirmed it's being worked on.

Chatted online with an optus business rep today to ask how much the new samsung tablet will be (about the same as a Galaxy, expect a $49 plan for it), also asked if & when froyo for the galaxy is coming on optus. He said OTA update will be in first week in september!
Sorry if this is old news. I can post a copy of the conversation if anyone wants it, I printscreened it but forgot to paste & lost it..
Anyway, good news!

I think this might be slightly outdated. Initial rumors pointed that Galaxy S would be getting Froyo in Korea before the end of August with it rolling out internationally in September. The rumor was so strong that the news media weere saying that the local carrier was aiming to give unlimited data and encourage tethering after an August Froyo release.
There are only 3 business days remaining in Korea, so that rumor seems to be coming and going without being fulfilled. Also, the rumor mill here hasn't been hot, which I expected it would be by now if we were indeed getting this in August.

My post referred only to Optus users in Australia.
Hope this is true, I can't wait for an official release of Froyo.

Xoom 2 models are already announced for this year, but only at or after the official ICS unveiling. Late Oct or Nov.
Havent you watched the news from the faster thinner smarter stronger event there will be no xoom 2 this year

The timing of the Razr launch was to steal some thunder from its main competition, the Samsung Nexus. Since it necessarily had to precede the Nexus (and ICS) announcement, no ICS-related stuff can be mentioned. That's why the Razr only sported Gingerbread in the unveiling.
Xoom 2 pronouncements from Moto CEO as "appearing this year" are on record, along with specs/pics leak. Moto wouldn't have moved the Xoom to the low-end (Family Ed) without a corresponding high-end to cover the gap.

Link to official announcement, please? Thanks.
Moto CEO mentioned the new toys during Moto's 2Q earnings call. While not an official product announcement, it is straight from the horse's mouth.

Whether these will sport ICS at release is an iffy proposition at this point. I had thought these 1st-tier vendors would have advance access to ICS code, and would hit the ground running upon its unveiling, but that may not be the case. Per Asus' CEO intimations from his AsiaD interview, ICS tabs may not happen until year-end.
BTW, the Asus TF Prime w/ Tegra 3 quad, slated for Nov 9 announcement, is certainly a nice toy, with or without ICS (preferably with). Moto Xoom2 will be hard put to compete.

Yet another unkept promise from Motorola.
Moto announced that the RAZR HD Jelly Bean update would be available for Latam users in 2013Q1 (in the general public JB announcement). It has been moved in its US page to 2013Q2, when checking my specific carrier. The local Motorola subsidiary doesn't even say IF the xt925 is going to be updated AT ALL (they just say they don't know anything about a possible update). Meanwile, in the US the previous-gen RAZR already has JB, and here in my country HTC and Samsung users of previous-gen handsets like the Galaxy S2 and Sensation already are running the carrier approved JB update. And with the S4 around the corner, I'll likely see people with handsets from two generations ago running more up to date software than I, having the current Motorola "flag****". Wtf, Moto. Why the discrimination against Latam users? I guess that I can discount that my brand new phone won't be elegible for Android 5, which is right around the corner. Never again purchasing from Googlerola.
Just an FYI about Moto.

Ok, first of all, take a pill, phill.
Second of all, you can already install the Brazilian JB firmware on your phone. Stop saying how other brands have got JB before while Moto did not. Motorola is not the fastest, certainly, but it's getting them faster than LG, Sony, and even some Samsung/HTC phones.
And last but definitely not least, why on earth do you care so freaking much about an update which will make your phone lose your HDMI features and only adds a few useless features (yes I'm talking about Google Now)?
You don't buy a Motorola for software updates, you buy it because of great build quality and call quality/battery life. Everyone knows that.
Anyway, you could just simply be patient, enjoy ICS and hdmi, which you will lose on JB, and wait for "Q2" which is already here and you should see the update in the next 45 days.
*And yes, I am from Latam and Motorola doesn't really discriminate Latam. In fact, we are the only ones with dedicated Moto web pages (they left all Europe except UK, Germany and France).
I often forget how bad it can be outside of the US/Europe. With the big markets and carriers here we usually get the updates first. I'm already on the newer version of JB. Although you need to remember not only do you have to wait for localization but for it to pass through your carrier as well so they can pack their own bloatware in. (An issue I've long dealt with being a Verizon customer, grandfathered unlimited, what can I do?)
Even if you've been pushed a few months you're not missing anything revolutionary. I'd not consider it the jump that GB>ICS was. Just keep in mind it may be your carrier's issue as much as Moto's.

You should buy unbranded to not depend on your carrier if you want timely updates and LATAM has the xt925 so we can unlock our device's bootloader, the xt926 U.S. guys are not so lucky, all in all I think moto latam is doing ok.
Small number of models confirmed for the update, others left waiting a while longer
Motorola has just updated its customer help pages to reflect which devices will receive updates to Android 4.4 KitKat. Just as you would expect, all variants of the Moto X will be getting the latest software, as will Verizon's latest lineup of Droid (Mini, Ultra, Maxx) devices. Left out are the last round of Droid phones from Verizon, the RAZR M, HD and MAXX HD.
The one exception here is the Developer Edition RAZR HD, which is confirmed to have Android 4.4 on the way. Motorola of course doesn't give any time frame on when the updates will hit, but is at least giving its word that they will come eventually. This is also just the list of phones that are confirmed to be receiving the update. Several devices are listed as having a "future plan coming soon" — but we wouldn't count on too many of those getting seeing 4.4.
Have any XT925 owners received ota update to kitkat.
If not any rumours as to when to expect

no ETA...
I've been looking at Punit Soni's Google + account, there is no ETA.
He told me that we have to wait for qualcomm to update the binaries and drivers for the Soc/radios, and then they will update, first unlocked/dev editions, then branded ones.
there is no timeframe, but samsung will update the sgs3 (the US version has the same chipset) in late Q1
http://www.android.gs/samsung-galax...e-to-arrive-by-the-end-of-march-says-insider/
as far as ive seen, they will bring kitkat to last years phones, then 2012 phones.
so IMO, i think it will be april/may if you have a phone on contract...
alas, i think its the last update it will receive.
i asked him if they would dump the kernel like they did on the moto x and moto g and they will do so for the xt926 developer edition.
so once KK rolls out, expect better custom ROMs...
Read a nasty rumor that the '13 models (Ultra, Maxx, Mini) were receiving the OTA and many phones were bricking. Moto stopped the OTAs on those phones to figure out what was wrong, so we might have slightly longer to wait then originally planned...
