Motorola RAZR Bug Fixer Update Tossed, Ice Cream Sandwich Soak Test Incoming

DROID RAZR Front Eye VZW 324x600 Motorola RAZR Bug Fixer Update Tossed,  Ice Cream Sandwich Soak Test Incoming

Many of you were disappointed last week when the expected Ice Cream Sandwich update for the DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX turned into nothing but a bug fixer. Best Buy was telling their employees that the update should have been Android 4.0, but after their expected date of arrival passed, all they could say was that it had been delayed. Whether it was or not, we have good news for RAZR owners. Motorola has informed their MFN (Motorola Feedback Network) testing group that the soak test for build 6.12.181 has been cancelled and that a soak test for ICS will start shortly in its place (possibly tomorrow).

After the soak test for 6.12.181 did not happen at all over the weekend, many of us were starting to wonder if Moto hadn't scrapped it for ICS. Talk about a surprising and exciting change of events. For those not a part of MFN, you can usually expect some sort of official update to rollout within a couple of weeks, assuming the test goes as planned and without any major issues.

Happy?
