[Q] Are there any hope for Jelly Bean from Official Source?

[raddy]

Hello Everybody

I am planning to purchase this mobile phone if Jelly Bean becomes available to this.
The mobile phone is very much comparable with HTC One S in many aspects.
Moreover not as expensive as HTC One S.

I believe we can get Jelly Bean with CM's help.
But, i wish to have Motorola's customization too.

Many devices are still waiting for ics, so is too early to know about jb. Maybe after the rollout motorola will state their position about jb

My view is we should get it. The RAZR is similar to the gnex and there is now the connection between google and moto. It depends on if/when google handed over the code. And how much messing with it moto want to do.

If you look at how long it took them to get ics to us compared to how little it differs to the nexus release, they must have been doing something else too?

You forget moto has to run through the Verizon bloat mill, I'm guessing 6 months?

The funny thing it that ics for verizon came out early that for gsm unbranded ics

Read an article about Cyanogenmod 10 where the devs said that it's similar enough to ICS that they'll be able to port it quick. Hopefully that'll mean a quick turnaround for us, too.

Seeing ask bugs with ics, i would say that it will be loooong time to jb, thus i don't think we will be in the timeframe

My last phone, a Motorola Droid X, went from Eclair to Froyo to Gingerbread... so, it's likely the Razr will receive Jelly Bean.

raddy if you want i can sell you mine , i have enought of this ics delays.

I have a standing offer for angst-ridden people who want to sell their phones- $5.00 for a Razr, $6.00 for a Razr Maxx, and additional $0.25 if it has a memory card over 32gb.

It's Motorola. Make it 2 years.

It's VERY popular to trash Motorola! One wonders how all you smart consumers bought one in the first place, since their upgrade schedules, locked bootloaders, etc. haven't changed since they first made smart phones.

I just can't believe how quickly the jelly bean threads started now that we have ICS. I love this forum, all jokes aside. I love that it moves so quickly on to the next big thing.

Hello Everybody

Thanks for all your replies.
I actually open this topic in optimism for two reasons.

1) ICS update for this mobile phone is mostly stocks with small Motorola niceties.
2) Motorola Mobility is now a Google's Business.

Because of 1) point being true, Motorola Mobility has very less engineer work to update it's OS to Jelly Bean.

One more take, Google could have bought Motorola Mobility for two reasons.

1) For it's deep patent portfolio
2) To side-step Samsung

If the second reason i suggested becomes true, then if Google adopts this mobile phone as Google's Experience device, then Motorola Razr has a bright future.
As it is very much capable than Samsung Nexus S at least.

Google not even have to adopt Motorola Mobility's mobile phones as Google Experience Devices, if Google just shows small love to its own business, that it self is very much enough.

Moto RazrMAXX has excellent build quality and out of the world battery life... But it comes with locked bootloader...

Verizon is by far the best network, but they are constantly messing (shared plan MINUS Unlimited, Unlimited = FULL device price) and milking their customers...

OH GOD, What a life...!!!

Even though Motorola + Verizon combination scares me, GOD Google + Motorola is giving me some little hope... First they reduced the Blurness in UI... Then they may bring JB to us before others...

We just can hope only...



@Raddy

I don't think Google's Moto is to side-step Sammy... Because 1) Google is NOT a half eaten rotten fruit... 2) Google can never be EVIL, afaik...

Further if they want to side-step Sammy, first thing they have to do is UnLocking their bootloaders atleast in their international versions or bring some options like HTC... Imagine Nexus-MAXX-HD

Google said that google and motorola will stay as 2 different society. I guess they only wanted the patent. With the help of google motorola can be a really big seller of smartphone but i think they don't really care about motorola

You forget that not all RAZR owners and not all members of this forum are verizon customers in the us. I'm on orange in the UK. Its more traditional that unbranded devices get the updates first. I don't understand why vz pushed it before the rest of us. Makes no sense.

I think we have to look at the larger picture here- Apple has the software and hardware production of the iPhone. That gives them an excellent position to offer a device with no corruption of their happy unicorn sparkly iWorld experience. Google acquiring Motorola gives them the manufacturing arm they lacked. I fully expect to see the next "Nexus" iteration to come from Motorola. On the Windows Phone front, Nokia is doing horrible and will very likely be bought out by Microsoft for the same reason- it gives them a turnkey manufacturing arm... one already geared up to make Windows Phones.

Whether you like Apple products or not, you cannot argue with their success. They design and build products that sell very well. Every company out there wants to do the same thing.
