As it is, the stock unlock screen, stock contacts and such are broken in ICS 4.0.3 from the code on Google's server. I've tried it and found using Sense 3.6 (which is what it looks it will have) isn't that much different than stock. I'd rather have the stock launcher, but that one still needs work as well.
Now that Google released Chrome, I don't care it doesn't have the stock browser either, as they both work pretty much the same.

Hopefully that means that the 3D will be getting it soon after, because its pretty much the same thing plus 3D

You can track somewhat the progress of ICS on the sensation here:

Some of the stuff in that list, like fully Adreno 220 rendering is redundant; they did that for 2.3.x. Obviously 4.x has it already.

They said vivid would be updated early 2012. How did that go from that to "later this year" -_-

Seeing as my Evo 4G apparently doesn't have enough ram to run higher than sense 1.0, I doubt it will get updated.. which sucks, because i've only had it about a year. ):

The desire HD so does that also mean the HTC inspire 4g also?
Or will AT&T not even bother?

I think that if the EVO Design 4G, Incredible S, and Desire S are getting an update to ICS, then phones like the T-Bolt, Evo 4G, and Evo Shift should get it as well. Though, all the phones listed have at least 768MB RAM and the Evo 4G and Evo Shift only have 512MB; but the Incredible S is getting ICS so the Incredible 2 shouldn't be too far behind. I'm kinda jealous of a couple of my friends right now, they both have a Sensation 4G.
