Motorola’s senior vice president of portfolio and product management Alain Mutricy confirmed on Wednesday that the DROID RAZR, announced Tuesday for Verizon Wireless, will receive an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update early next year. Mutricy explained that the phone was designed to run Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), which will be installed when it hits the market, but that Motorola has already created a time frame for an Android 4.0 roll-out, Pocket-lint said. Without support for NFC, however, features such as Android Beam will not be operational. The DROID RAZR is equipped with a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, a large Super AMOLED Advanced display with a qHD resolution, an 8-megapixel camera and support for Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE network. Pre-orders for the phone begin on October 27th and it will be available in stores in November for $299.99 with a new two-year contract.

    Too bad…Google Nexus here I come!

    • http://twitter.com/GRZLA Grizzly Atoms

      The Nexus is the better device if you ask me. I’ll take stock Android over any manufacturer customization any day. On top of that updates STRAIGHT from Google? Best dessert ever.

      • Neh

        Nah. Look at you’re Google Nexus S and all the problems including voice dialing. And a lower hardware spec than even Galaxy S II, a 7 month old phone?.

    Hey this is exciting for anyone who buys this phone. Because you’re going to get at least one update.

      He is referring to software of course, not hardware!

      Give it a rest child. You regurgitate the same stuff over and over again. Might as well be Norm 2.0

        Come on Skinny Arms, give him a break.  He’s just upset because he gets only to buy one phone a year whereas we get 100-200 new phones a year to buy!

        Not a problem if you’ve the money in my opinion.

    • Dave

      If that. Your a fool if you believe moto. Bionic or Xoom ring a bell? How quickly people forget.

    THUMBS UP IF YOUR GETTING THE DROID RAZR!

       BRR? LOL.. too funny!

    Seems like a really strong device.  Just don’t understand why they didn’t include NFC in it?  That feature will be huge going forward.

      Doesn’t matter for the target demographic which are the people who buy a new DROID every month.

      • http://twitter.com/Thorpeland Thorpeland

        Incorrect.  Many will buy this phone who are already Verizon customers and are due for an upgrade.  Or, new customers wanting the flagship device.

        You are not getting my brother NORM.  He means, there’s a new flagship device every week.  So there’s always the one with the latest SPECS that we want.  So, we put our existing phones on eBay and buy the latest one.  It’s fun.  I have a new phone every 3-4 days.  It cost me my marriage but it was worth it!

    • schloppyjoe1

      Actually – It will only be HUGE – when it shows up on an Apple device. Then – it will be Revolutionary!!!

    Yea right, just like LTE upgrade for Xoom was supposed to be available shortly after launch.

  • Anonymous

    Early 2012 meaning September.

    • Dave

      Meaning Early upgrade until you forget about it and we release our next flagship device that will be upgradable to Jello, 6 months after launch of course

    Only an idiot will believe Moto when they say this. March 31st still qualifies as early right?

  • schloppy

    Really great looking phone.  Had we not seen the potential that is ICS on a pure experience phone, this would be my next phone.  But GN here I come.  bye bye faithful but dull Iphone 4.

  • kdevil

    ICS or soft serve ice cream or whatever fancy food you name it. It will still taste like crap for corporate use, unles android works with pure ipsec Cisco VPN. Android fix issue 3902.. pleez..

    This phone might have been attractive if it wasn’t butchered with those 4 buttons on the bottom. Why does a touchscreen of that size need that many buttons ?

  • Anonymous

    LMFAO! “theoretically should work for any 2.3 device.”  So much for ending fragmentation.

    The Sammy Galaxy IIS and Moto Razr are DOA with the Nexus Prime and ICS.

    Maybe ICS in early 2012? How many new Android phones will be out by then?
    Then what, Android Jelly Roll 4.1? ICS will be outdated!

    You ANDROID FOOLS!!!! Muuuhhhhaaaaa!
