I just wanted to thank AT&T for keeping us in the dark with the much anticipated ICS update for our phones that was supposed to hapen 2 days ago. What ever you do AT&T, don't give us a date to look forward to. Hell, why don't you just surprise us all with the update this Christmas! :mad:
 
No body said march 1st. And speak for yourself. Quit crying.

Ahhh...I have ICS on my Transformer and believe me, it's not all that. It's ok, but I see no reason at all to have it on my SGS2. It's working fine and dandy on 2.3.4 and that's where it will stay until I get another device a year or 2 from now

Did AT&T announce when ICS would be released?

I have never read anything that said At&t was going to release ICS for the SGS2 .

Tip of the day: When you buy a phone that isn't a Nexus device never expect a major update, this will greatly diminish the chance of being disappointed.
 
At&t wont release the next OS until 6-8 months after the phone release. The fastest device to ever see a new OS device was the original Motorola Atrix. 4 months after its release it had a 2.3 from 2.2 update. Here's some examples:

Samsung Captivate 8 months to get 2.2
Samsung Infuse 8 months to get 2.3
LG Phoenix 10 months to get 2.3
HTC Inspire 6 months to get 2.3
LG Thrill on month number 6 STILL ON 2.2!
Motorola Atrix 4 months to get 2.3
 
That information is kept deliberately quiet because AT&T and Samsung have to run the OS through many testing cycles, come up with a method and schedule to release the OS. and then plan that release in between new device launches. There are many recent examples of planned dates that were leaked out and then for various reasons not met. I think they feel it is better from their point of view to wait until all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed before announcing any updates.

First off who buys a phone because of what might come in the future.

From reading around here, I'd guess it's a very large number. Not that I agree with doing so, but a lot of people do. As we are buying more expensive devices, there's increased expectations that the device will be kept up to date longer. Apple has helped fuel that expectation by updating older devices to newer os versions. Of course, they remove so many of the features that often the update is essentially a number only.
