ICS leak .247 for Bionic (Dead End)

I have more info but I'm not going to post it because I can't confirm it and I really am not going to get into more arguments with people. Suffice it to say that 246 is going OTA tomorrow according to VZW themselves. What the future holds will be seen at some point. Punit Soni hinted at it earlier today that Bionic users will want to keep an eye on future update plans.

Well... if that's the case, someone owes my Magic 8 Ball a case of Coors Light. Lol. I'll be on the road in and out of service (over mountain passes) tomorrow, but will see what I see. Lol. Guess we all will.

I don't remember the last ota.... will it be a push to accept, or will a user have to manually "check for updates"?

Edit to add: defrosting my bloat. Just in case... lol

Ok folks, it was getting a tad heated there for a second. Can I ask that when posting you be mindful of our rules (handily linked in my sig).

There's a lot to read, but I can sum it up in one sentence: Attack issues, not other members.

Any issues with that, you're more than welcome to drop me a PM. :)

They wont be skipping ics. The existence of these leaks is proof. They are also slow so don't expect jb within 6 months. Frankly, froyo does everything all these other versions do. This hype to get the next version is foolish imo.

Sorry to step in on this, but each version does have new features. With froyo, my bluetooth mouse didn't have a pointer or cursor, then came gingerbread and it was then my mouse had full functionality (On my droid x). When I loaded the ics leaks, I noticed small thing like spell check on my dolphin browser. I don't recall gingerbread having that. (My bionic)

I do agree though, it would be silly to hype over jellybean! lol
