Q2 2012 thats over 6 months away a new phone will out by then.

True BUT most people are on 12, 18 or 24 month contracts so it doesn't mean they'll be ditching their phone to get the latest handset.

It will be out loooong before then.

You just have to root your phone! People are working on it now using the ICS SDK.

The SGS2 can already do a lot of the stuff that they have put into ICS. No doubt there will be a theme app to change the look. In fact it won't make much difference to the usual daily usage of the phone, so, I think I can wait until the official version flows. I think it will be before Q2.
