I would say it would be better to be able to switch between 2.3 and 4.0 if anything, but it would probably still be better just to be running 4.0 as it is a combination of 2.3 and 3.2 anyway

Not really, while Galaxy Nexus whit android 4 start in two or three weeks whit sell. So whit Android 3.2 youre allready on a previously version. And im not a develpoper, but i had a Motorola Xoom and Asus Transformer, that are only pads, whitout phone function. Im not sure if Android 3.2 has this function intergrated it the system and it was only disabled, or some Devs here have to implement it in the OS.

Android 4 would be the better option to switch..

Android 4.0 ICS is two in one. That's what i want, 5.3' screen and vanilla ICS. If i could be certain that vanilla ICS will be ported to Note, i would buy the Note right now. But nobody knows this for sure, so i guess i end up buying the Nexus.
HTC One X (Stock Android 4.0.4)
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Stock Android 4.2)
LG Nexus 4 (Stock Android 4.2)
Asus Nexus 7 (Stock Android 4.2)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 3G (Stock Android 4.0.4)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 3G (Android 4.1.2 AOSP ROM)

Well I guess it's pretty much save to say that Samsung will release an ICS update "soon". Knowing that people might skip the device due to no update announcement, they might just announce it officially tomorrow at the european release event in London..

Yes, but i don't want Touchwiz and the official update will certainly have it. I want vanilla ICS, but thats just me of course.

Default Silly Me

i forgot all about android 4.0 ICS. With it specs being better than the Samsung galaxy nexus prime, all but the processor which isnt really a big difference, i would hope that it come with ICS.
