    Ice Cream Sandwich Phones

    Hi All,

    I have been hanging on for a new phone as my Acer Liquid is getting long in the tooth.

    I am trying to identify which phones will be coming with ICS.

    Day One ICS
    Galaxy Nexus

    ICS as an Update Q1 2012
    Moto RAZR
    SE Arc
    SE Neo

    Does anyone know of any others? any rumours of a budget ICS handset from ZTE or Huawei?

    Re: Ice Cream Sandwich Phones

    Apparently if you phone will run Gingerbread (2.3) then it should be able to run ICS so in theory there should be a lot of phones getting firmware upgrades. How much truth is in that is another story altogether but i suspect there will be a lot of noise about ICS around the festive period.

    Sounds good, but really looking for a guarantee of an update.

    Re: Ice Cream Sandwich Phones

    The LG Optimus 2X is supposed to be getting the updat however there are loads of rumours floating around about the info being false.

    HTC have said they will try and get the update onto as many devices as possible but i would wait for official confirmation before making any decisions

    I think essentially its too early to categorically say what will and wont get the updates.

    Here is an article which might be worth a read:

    Re: Ice Cream Sandwich Phones

    This was on HTC's Facebook page today:

    Ice Cream Sandwich is coming in early 2012 to a variety of devices including the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XL and HTC Sensation XE, as well as the HTC Rezound*, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G* and HTC Amaze 4G* through close integration with our carrier partners.



    We're continuing to assess our product portfolio, so stay tuned for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Ice Cream Sandwich.

    Re: Ice Cream Sandwich Phones

    Got an early build from XDA Forums on my Nexus S and my initial view is I dont really like it that much but have yet to play with it for an extended period of time. Will be interesting to see if LG manage to deliver an ICS build for my Optimus 2x, not holding out much hope despite their Facebook ramblings.

    Re: Ice Cream Sandwich Phones

    Now running Cyanogenmod 9 on my Nexus S and liking ICS a lot more, in fact prefer it to Modaco GR5 GB on my LG Optimus 2x. Just wish someone would do a decent build of ICS for the Optimus now. Me wants ICS on a dual core phone and cant afford to buy a Nexus Prime and work certainly wont buy me another expensive phone.

    Because when they roll it out and it doesn't work as it should, everyone pisses and moans.

    Re: Ice Cream Sandwich Phones

    The Nexus S (which is a bit of a budget phone) is meant to be getting ICS.

    It wasn't budget when it came out, it was cutting edge. These days it's under spec'd compare to more modern phones but it's a good buy second hand though.

    Apparently the SE Play is getting it as well - they said all the phones released in 2011 will get Ice Cream - see here:
