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.

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.

A general piece of relevant news/comment, in the general section. There is nothing wrong with this thread.

Post this stuff in one of the other 2 million threads about ICS - Thread Reported.
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 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 :D

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.
