Verizon sending out texts to alert Droid RAZR owners of impending ICS update

If you picked up a Droid RAZR or RAZR MAXX on Verizon, you’ve probably been waiting with bated breath for the Android 4.0 update to roll out. Unless you didn’t wait and installed one of the leaked ICS ROMs that escaped from Motorola over the last few months. Moto's official timeline gives them two more weeks to deliver your helping of OTA Ice Cream Sandwich, and text messages being sent to RAZR owners suggests they make just sneak in under that deadline.

Sending out warning texts to owners may seem like an unusual step to take, but in this case RAZR owners that make use of the Verizon Wireless Mobile IM app are going to have the functionality broken by the update, so Big Red is warning you that you will need to download a new instant messaging app after the update.
