The soak test for the Motorola DROID RAZR and the Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX will begin on Thursday. The new software version is 6.12.181 and includes a large number of fixes as the manufacturer tries to get the models ready for the upcoming Android 4.0 update.
Among the items listed on the changelist for the update is an optimization of device performance to improve battery life, which does sound redundant with the Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX. The update will bring a new MotoCast widget to allow easier access to MotoCast files. Also, you should notice an improvement in MotoCast performance. Storage settings have been changed to clarify total, available, and used storage space.
The long lasting Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX
The update brings improved Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity, corrected 4G indicator and other changes including better visual voicemail performance. Text messages will now be received in a timely manner (!!!) and pressing and holding the back key while using the browser will bring you to bookmarks. There are also a couple of security enhancements including one that prevents third parties from gaining access to the telephony database and a security enhancement for VCast apps.

No, this is certainly not Android 4.0, but yes Virginia, the Motorola DROID RAZR and Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX will get Ice Cream Sandwich. Really. After all, we did see that leaked build of ICS for the DROID RAZR just the other day.
