My wife has a One S with ICS and I've yet to find anything great on it that I don't have (or haven't added myself with an app). |

This is what is wrong with Android because if you pick the wrong phone model you could be stuck with an old OS with no chance of upgrading - I mean you would'nt buy a brand new PC tomorrow that comes pre installed with Windows 98, would you?

I believe it has slipped to end of august. The only update I wanted really was the apps in icons feature but since Ive installed go launcher it has that feature.
Also Ive been thinking if I do update it might not be compatible with some of my games and apps. |

I get very bored with people complaining that Android has a problem because not all handsets are running the same OS version. My home PC is running Windows XP and I don't expect Microsoft to offer me a free upgrade to Win8. My PC works fine, as does my phone. Just because something is different to the Apple way of doing things, it doesn't make it bad. |

I don't understand your example. My phone is 18 months old and came with the latest OS at the time. If I get a free upgrade, great, if not, it is still an amazing phone.

A computer is different, software changes and sometimes you need to update to run the latest software. but then look how long windows Xp lasted. compare that to a mobile phone and most people don't keep their phones for anywhere near that amount of time. |

Heard that the update will be available on the 20th august but wont be done ota like updates are normaly done. You have to get it via the htc dev website.
So looks like they are doing the same thing they did when they did the update for the original desire to gingerbread. |

Is that just for genetic phones? I got my phone from Vf and it has their boot screen and a load of bloat ware pre installed. Will I need to wait for a Vf version of the OS?
I wont be doing the update straight away though as Ill see what other folk think of it and someones bound to put a youtube vid up reviewing it. |

Darren It is coming HERE'S the install screen but like I said you have to update via a computer so there must be a reason why it can't be done the normal way via software updates. |

The update is now available via the htcdev website. This will work on branded and unbranded handsets. It will be like a clean install so it will be like when you 1st bought your phone from a shop so make sure you backup your important stuff.

Well I was a bit brave and put it on earlier and it sort of looks like I'm using a new phone. Now the fun part of putting my apps back on again

If you root it you can get roms with 4.0.4 and full Sense 4. HTC made a marvellous phone here (although not waterproof sadly) and ICS and Sense 4 runs like a dream on it.
