Get a better phone. I wouldn't personally ever consider getting something from Motorola due to things like this.

things like this happen with all OEMs.

We're not talking about all OEMs. We are talking about Motorola here, but thank you for thumbing me down.

...Motorola is an OEM pal, by all definitions of the word. xD

anyways all OEMs have Phones or Tablets on the chopping block right now. the verdict is still out on whether this one is or not. the Droid 3 is a popular Phone and is the best actual usable World Phone on Verizon. it may yet receive ICS even if that takes a little while.

oh and you're welcome btw. ;)

It's not getting ICS because of the limitations it was given by how little RAM it has. Though it has the same amount as the Nexus S, which has ICS, but the Nexus doesn't has a custom UI over it, and it still runs ICS slowly. They aren't updating it to ICS because they don't want the customers to possibly have a bad experience with it.

i would've said the same thing if i hadn't experienced Moto's version of ICS myself. it's pretty damn close to Stock. o:

Well yes, but still. It doesn't have that much memory to begin with, just getting stock would make it slower, along with that little bit of custom interface from Moto would make it even slower

and the 1GB of RAM but if you're traveling overseas this is hands down the best Android option for you on the carrier.
