Last Motorola phone I get. Will be moving on to Samsung next year when I get my upgrade. Been a loyal Motorola user for years and waited patiently for the Bionic to finaly get released, but am now fed up with Motorola.

And what about the Verizon sales guy who told me when he sold me the Bionic a year ago that ICS would be available on the Bionic in October 2011?

Check the changes to your new plan before upgrading your phone. I have and I will be using this phone for a long time.

One thing I can tell you for sure: Although I have been using Motorola cell phones since I first started using a cell phone in 1995, I cannot see myself EVER getting a Motorola product again. And if Verizon messes around with my plan, I will ditch them too — also after 17+ years.

Customer satisfaction is apparently low on their lists of priorities. I think the time to buy puts on Verizon stock will begin soon.

we have been lied to since december 2011. promised ics then and nothing but lies since. people will not forgive being lied to for months. i do not want anything from motoola or verizon. this is close to a beach of contract wnd will certainly end up class action suit.

I bought the Bionic the day it released…… and have been unhappy sinc the day after that. It drops data all the time and Motorolla can seem to understand what it takes to make customers happy. I am done with Moto!!

I am so disappointed and Verizon and Motorola are waffling every day on if, oops I mean when we will get ICS. Jelly bean is already being installed on new phones and they are still working on an old OS? What kind of stupid is that?

@ Katie,

First, you have to visit a Verizon Store, not an authorized reseller. I was there to inquire about my ICS upgrade and the tech behind the counter looked up my phone and told me she didn’t see any upgrades scheduled for the Bioinc in the next quarter. But because I was considered a long valued customer, and that Verizon, (not Motorola) was lagging on the upgrade, they were willing to allow me a $100 trade-in towards any smart phone. In addition, they’d waive the early termination fee. The catch is that I’d enter a new contract with a new start date, and have to leave my unlimited data plan. That didn’t sound like a good deal in the long run so I figure I’ll just wait. This is one of those case by case offers so you may want to call first.
