Finally! ICS!

launch your phone dialer, and then enter these characters

*#*#2432546#*#* and then look for updates.
 
The way I read the news is:

Sprint just announced on Twitter that ICS is available for all Nexus S 4G users!
*Most users will have to wait atleast 9 more days before they receive the update*


Even with the news, I am not getting my hopes up.
 
Its out and currently available as a flash-able ROM on XDA or a few posts below this thread.

Edit:
I installed a few days ago and all I can say is WOW! its terrific and stupendous all in one hot tortilla. Seriously, this is a great ROM. Only thing missing for me is (free)wireless tether.

I assumed you odin'd it? Why not just root it then from there and get like barnacle or the other wifi tether apps? Just wondered, ok, thanks!

Some history on this, I have normally been against rooting, and for the other 2 NS4G phones in the house, I won't root those, but I like my phone being rooted now, but not going to be like oh do this or that, but just wondered how and why you didn't go the extra step, :D
 
Wow! What a great improvement/update for the ns4g, everything is so smooth and now I finally have a solid connection anywhere I go!
 
Of the two phones here not rooted, not yet, no OTA. But my other, it is a great improvement, to each their own though you know, my wife may not like it at all, we'll see when she gets her OTA hah.
 
Got OTA. So far, it works well. Wifi signal seems a tad better. Cell signal remains poor...but, i need to use it more. Camera still sucks.
 
Tested the GPS on the way to work, still sucked and cant find signal for a while. The phone is running a little slower than Gingerbread but acceptable. Oh well, no more Samsungs for me.

My phone just won't take the update. I first tried the OTA last night and it got stuck on the yellow triangle warning screen, so I had to pull the battery to get past it. Today, I tried manually installing the update from the link above and it also keeps failing with some cryptic error message and than saying the installation aborted. Tried wiping everything and and doing it again, but that didn't seem to help. Also tried it from both CWM and stock recovery, and still no dice. Not sure what to try next...

The error I'm getting is:

Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/vendor/lib/libsec-ril.so", "[some long alpha-numeric string]", "[another long alpha-numeric string]")
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted.
