When it comes to the handsets that will get a taste of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, more often than not, the information always comes from the manufacturers of these said devices. Verizon however changed that when it released information about the handsets in its Android lineup that will get a taste of the latest iteration of the Google mobile operating system. Despite the fact that the announcement from Verizon only confirms what has been said by the manufacturers themselves, it still is refreshing to see a carrier to come out in the open with such details gives the fact that these wireless providers are every bit as responsible if your device is going to get a taste of ICS or not.

With the information released by Verizon, we were able to surmise that the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx is still in the Evaluation and Planning Stage for its Ice Cream Sandwich update. The manufacturer confirmed that this means that the handset still has a long way to go before it gets its Ice Cream Sandwich treat for the matter. However, word on the street is that the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx could get upgraded to the latest version of the Android operating system this April 4, which happens to be just a couple of days away.
The rumors about the supposed ICS update for the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx started when a leaked screenshot of an internal system from Best Buy surfaced pointing to April 4 as the pegged date when the OS of the device will get cranked up to Android 4.0 Ice cream Sandwich via the usual OTA rollout. Since the information came from a third-party, it is best to take it with a grain of salt because nothing is set in stone at this point in time. But still, we are crossing our fingers with you that everything in the leaked screenshot from Best Buy pans out. And if it does, then the Verizon handset with an incredible battery life will see its operating system get cranked up to Ice Cream Sandwich in just a couple of days’ time. While waiting for more solid news about that, let us get reacquainted with the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx by going through its specs sheet below.
