Also, how are we going to install a new OS? do we have to take it to the store or is something we get as an update?

Of course it will receibe ICS update.
It's a relatively new phone, and its a top-range one.

3.6? Is that a new version? I have not seen it mentioned before.

stupid auto correct! 2.36
. Although I would be happy if they just bypassed that and dumped straight to ICS, but since the 2.36 has been leaked i kind of doubt it/I owned a Nexus for a week and I certainly hope that google does some major updates to ICS before it hits the razor. I had FC's, mystery volume level issues with calls, horrible battery life, poor keyboard accuracy, and horrible time navigating the new apps and UI of ICS.

you made it 4 more days than I did...I had it for 3 days and switched for similar reasons
lmao Wow! Yea it wasnt the slickest experience thats for sure. I think its a combination of hardware and software glitches. I personally dont think that a tablet and smartphone can run the same UI. Screen real estate is just different. Anyone, no need to make this a slam ICS post!
I agree ICS has a lot of bugs and hopefully they will be worked out by the time the razr gets it. I am getting rid of my nexus for a razr because getting updates first is nice but the radios in the nexus were really weak and had a lot of issues.

I'd assume Summer time for ICS, because who really wants a ice cream sandwhich when it's 8 degrees outside. LOL

You just floating this or do you have any supporting data for your claim? The razr will get ICS just a matter of when.
As stated ICS is a mess. Personally I would be happier with a version identifying the code base as 4.0 without the crappy interface.

I am already on 2.36, so there is not much to wait for
So says the stock Android lover...
Last time I checked...Moto, HTC and Samsung improved Gingerbread with their UI's. Thats also a pretty bold claim to say NONE of the UI/design features, functionality of ICS.. You do realize there's more to ICS than on screen buttons, right?
Anyway....to the OP, its coming. Its just a matter of when...not if..... One time I said Feb-Mar. Might have to say Mar-Apr now. Trying to guess based on when the G Nex on Verizon is getting its official ICS updates.
I believe Google is requiring stock holo theme to be included in Android 4.0 updates so that the users may be able to revert back from manufacturer's custom UI's.
The manufacturer's custom UI's made Gingerbread better in my eyes anyway, so I wouldn't mind them for ICS either.
Also, I've noticed that a lot of people in these forums compare stock ICS to custom UI'ed Gingerbread and say "Boy, those custom UI's suck!" and that really isn't a fair comparison.
As for when this phone will be getting ICS, I would say late May-June at this point since Moto delayed it from Q1 to Q2.

As far as the Razr getting ICS and what it will look like, here is some pics of the GSM version. I'm sure they have been posted by now, but......
Personally, I like the lock screen a lot.

Yep, updates are always a double edged sword. Everyone gets really excited while they are on the way. Then people get overly excited about their release. Eventually people start to get impatient and say, "Release it already". When it finally shows up, the slightest bug makes everyone mad.
