Surprising, yet welcome news about my Motorola Photon

In July I finally upgraded to my first superphone – the dual core Motorola Photon 4G. Since my purchase, I have seen the price of this handset nosedive, as the company enjoys much greater success with the RAZR and other models. No matter, I love my Android 2.3 with customized user interface, perfect Google integration, and a host of apps for work and play. The thing is solid and reliable.

But, because of weak sales, I felt certain I would miss out on an ICS upgrade. And that would have been fine. I’d happily hang in there till 2013 and see what upgrades were available then. Now, however, I’m not so sure. Turns out, somehow, I’m on the list for Ice Cream Sandwich. I may have to wait till Fall, but, as I’ve said, this phone is pretty darn good just the way it is, so I don’t that’ll be a problem.
