[Vaperousdrop002]

[ellisrgreen]

@Vaperousdrop002 The Sprint version hasn't gotten it yet (thought the build's been leaked) and the GSM version has had its update canceled permanently.

[ProudiPhoneOwner]

[Sweetybboy]

[MrRedJoker93]

@Kosackk Nexus S 4G has a WiMax radio for Sprint's 4G network.

[Kosackk]

Shit, its smooth as hell :O

[allbrownallthetime]

Google has to work out the bugs this was only out on the nexus s for a few days due to CPU usage and battery life

[APCAKAMOFO]

i have ice sandwich and i want to change ...because the battery you can only use for 6 hours!!!

[TooLateTomorrow]

Can't wait to get this.

[owningnoobsdotcom]

Sad, phone launched a year ago and we consider it old.

[PenutButerNdJely]

@owningnoobsdotcom i know, technology's movin fast

[1994fatalerror]

@owningnoobsdotcom

I just bought one and slammed AOKP on it, I LOVE it!

[highestcrown]

@owningnoobsdotcom I don't see how it can be called "an old piece of crap"... -_- Maybe he was only ironic.

[Tooni16]

I have a Nexus s 4g and still havent got the update. i read somewhere that only de nexus s 3g version will have the update because the 4g one have battery probls and somethings else. About the battery its true it gets hot when using it a lot and it consumes it a little bit quick than the 3g version. Can you explain to me about the update or you just dont know. I browsed for info found just what i said.

[achaitusri1]

Iam using nexus s (GSM) when I installing ice cream sandwich it is showing signature verification...... can u tell me how to install anddroid 4.3 on my phone

[Epicztuber]

Hi! :D I have a question. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace. And before I had 2.2.1 then 2.2.4 then "Ice cream Sandwich" and the reason I put "Ice cream sandwich" is because my phone is apparently not going to get Ice Cream Sandwich but it IS going to get a similar variety pack. So I wanted to know is it my phone or is it that you downloaded something cool to make your sliding do that cool little drop at 0:25 - 0:28

[petpef]

Whs ice cream sandwich?

[XDHAIDEN69]

does the update go to all android devices?

[CareTakerViews]

Hey, a little of topic from the video but still Android related.

I recently got a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Being a IOS user, I love it. But I was wondering what you think? Is there a better Android tab on the market?

[cheezo545]

0:10 thank you for giving us the finger man :)

[cheezo545]

how do you get it?

[capang9555]

I see that the capacitive buttons don't light up

[cheezo545]

did they remove the camera shutter, did they put panorama, multitasking,face detection, do you think i should get this phone or another one? will the update be available for galaxy s2, will it be pure android or no? will the update remove the apps that came originally with the phone like google apps and maps and others? how do i get this update for nexus s? please answer me right and i will subscribe to whoever answers all of those correct.thanks

[cheezo545]

how do you download it?

[james060491]

i couldnt wait for the OTA... i live in australia so who knows (and im with vodafone) so i was like stuff this ill do it manually

google it, the phone is so much nicer now with ICS (but i think the update is only available for GSM nexus s not 4g ones)

[nstephan21]

Would you ever be willing to do a video on your lighting setup? your lighting is fantastic.

[b3autyis]

I have the the Nexus S and I have yet to get the 4.0 update.

[MrJimyJohn]

@b3autyis Google has paused the OTA updates, it'll come soon, but If you have a Tmobile version (or mobilicity/wind/videotron in canada) then you can update manually. PM me for details

[TheLoserian]

I think that the Galaxy SII is getting ICS too.

[Killamiami1]

he just mutted dat guy who said this phone sucks lol get r4p3d

[maarkryaan]

Nice video

[NewportCraig]

This is now less than 200 quid sim free at the Carphone Warehouse in the UK. An absolute bargain for an ICS device.

[MAXS0ES]

any idea when 4.0 will be released again for nexus s? before new year u think?

[holyoxx]

updatedmine. last saturday, and my nexus S is now freakin awesome!!!! hooray to google! its true, its like a brand new device! Nexus Love :D

[dynistii]

ooooh noooo ! The Ice Cream Sandwich update is being delayed T____________T

[recorz31]

Can u do a video on how to put the update, plz!

[JRDShamrock]

I own a Galaxy Vibrant, and I did a Rom using 4.0 and I gotta tell you even though its kinda laggy (because it really hasnt been optimized for the phone) the phone feels like its faster with its single core, and the AMOLED makes everything stand out a bit more. :) long live Android!

[ShyPandaBear]

watching this off my Nexus S that was just updated to icecreamsandwich

[minecraftphoenix2011]

hey Lou that is cool but do it pop up on your screen if not can you make a video on it

[killerrr97]

The Awkward Moment When Both Top Comments Are The Same

[JusticeSevenfold]

@killerrr97 The awkward moment when one has to use capital letters as the first of every word in a single sentence to gain attention and prove a point that doesn't relate to the above video! BOOM!

[killerrr97]

@JusticeSevenfold The Troll Moment When You Find Out That It Makes Me Type Faster And It's Not To Get Attention :|

[JusticeSevenfold]

@killerrr97 lol my mistake, you're right. It's the modern-day keyboarding class.

"YouTube"... Helping people type faster, one comment at a time.

[killerrr97]

@JusticeSevenfold Nice One :)

[TheGanjaxx]

make a video on how to get the update please :D

[NBArockWWE]

Lou can you please do a review for the galaxy nexus?

[thesmartphonereviews]

i faked my desire hd to be broken to my parents so they got me the nexus s just so i could have ICS. (shh, dont tell them!)

[hurnhu]

a ton of androids are not going to get ics there are only a slect few phones per carrier that are going to get the update!! rate up so every one can see

[MACEX1000]

What fatass comes up with the android names?

[hero2317]

When the Hell is the Nexus S 4G getting ICS 4.0

[SaZ1D123]

hey do you think i should sell my dual core htc sensation for the nexus s with ICS?

[ascari12]

@SaZ1D123 No. You'll have ICS later on. What you wont have is a phone with a dual core processor.

[kenw30]

any mention when the 4g variant gets its update?

[demass216]

nexus s is free from sprint til the 21st

[demass216]

HEY THE PERSON HOLDING THAT PHONE IS NOT LOU!!!!?@!@!!

[jasonnooz]

The iPhone DOES NOT PLAY PORN ON RED TUBE Hence IT SUCKS!

[salidafumar]

@jasonnooz jajajaja

[nory826]

OS updates, the reason I got myself a nexus phone (galaxy nexus). Nexus s got ICS faster than I thought they would which is nice, hope everyone is enjoying their first taste of official ICS! ;) merry Christmas!

[neoanderson2069]

I like how you cover all the points ...

[TheGanjaxx]

how to you update it

[dksingh97]

@unboxtherapy does wind have good service was thinking of getting a phone from them

[treyweez11]

Why would you steal Engadget's sound?

[ClimbnotWar]

Can you get it with MOBILICITY?

[couldbelaster]

Good vid

[Armon1254]

When will the update come to the nexus s 4g the one for sprint?

[TheAustin3184]

That's bullshit my galaxy s2 has a dualcore 1.5 and i dont have icecream =(

[alexkills]

Except for the Guy reviewing phones in this video... he gets paid to do it.

[alexkills]

This phone isn't a piece of shit so shove off. This ARM8 hummingbird processor is good even by today's standards. Besides, any android geek that upgrades phones every 2 months has a.) Way too much money for his/her own good, or b.) A ROM flasher tech geek who will never get laid.

[Creaulx]

Was going to get a Galaxy Nexus , then I took an arrow to the knee. Now I have to wait for the OTA for my Nexus S...

[patsfaninaz]

Hope this comes to my G2x

[BugattiNinja]

Forget about the Nexus s use the Galaxy Nexus

[iPodCreveking]

@GetPatriotized How???

[412little]

thumbs up if your getting this phone tomorrow 2 :-)

[TheIDeathrow]

@jakesCOD

yes

the whole world, update will come during 1 month for all nexus s, not every phone together, just be sure to be on official 2.3.4 or 2.3.6, no custom recovery or anything else.

if you dont know what is it, it's that you have let your phone as stock and that's what it needs to receive the OTA.

[ClimbnotWar]

@TheIDeathrow what do you mean "you have let your phone as stock" ? (whats stock?)

[prcreed76]

Oh yeah nexus s t mobile but I always knew as long as the phone ain't over 18 months old I've waited a year for this drinking thanks too Google best Xmas gift ever fuck ios5 and siri android 4.0.3 and its not over!!!!

[prcreed76]

I just got the update last night and it is great

[ClimbnotWar]

@prcreed76 how did you get the update (atomatically or...?) cuz i dont have it

[lolbot5]

so lu u got like 3 phones 3 xboxes. like 20 headphones. and a whole load of orher stuff

[Santas1ilHelp3r]

[LoveLiveLifeUnique]

[akasunanosasori01]

Feels so good when the update is out for ur phone first :D

[Kirtzjacob]

im guessing the software buttons are only unique to the galaxy nexus

[Kirtzjacob]

jesus...i cant wait for this to come to my Galaxy S II. Ive had enough of this TouchWiz shit. :(

[akasunanosasori01]

@Kirtzjacob

Use a 2.3 rom then :p

[Kirtzjacob]

@akasunanosasori01 i actually have the ICScreweD Rom downloaded. but im afraid i brick my device

[TheLegendSniper]

Camera make plz?

[GAMEBOIMARCUS]

Hope the vibrant gets it. I mean it's pretty much the same phone

[tcpnet]

Still says "your device is up to date" for me on my Nexus S i9020T. Wind Mobile.

[claudesaint17]

Nice review. ICS is nice, but 720p screen is nicer.

[blue4zero]

Hope my evo 3d gets this update

[xXJOEYKICKASSXx]

@kletskus because it taste good

[Etrain2]

Awesome, was that purchased from WIND and received the update OTA?

[tcpnet]

@Etrain2 Nope, not yet.

[Mcode3996]

Hope my droid x gets this!

[kletzkus]

why do they call it a ice cream sandwich???

[TheVisionofComics]

@kletzkus All android OS is named after deserts. Gingerbread, honeycomb, frozen yogert, ect...

[samuroot2801]

i only ave 2.3 gingerbread NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN­NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN­NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN­NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[fireburn95rs]

@SeleezSE why?

[The40nontyy3]

@SeleezSE THE IPHONE IS A SIMPLE PHONE

;)

[GetPatriotized]

@SeleezSE The iPhone is a simple dumbphone.

[ZwienerZ]

@GetPatriotized How did you get so many thumbs up?  It must have been a lot of fanboys. You calling the iPhone a "simple dumbphone" is retarded. What do you even mean?

[GetPatriotized]

@ZwienerZ It's simple to use and any dumbass can use it.

Coming from an owner of the iPod Touch and iPad 2 ;)

[survivorevil]

damn!! maybe i shouldve gotten a nexus s instead the atrix

[edytzuUndercover]

@survivorevil Nexus S > Atrix

[ENKElXPRESS]

I can't wait to see what Ice Cream Sandwich will bring for my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, I know there are tweaks to the UI.. but if there is any improvement in performance, it's very welcome. :)

[wwetjw]

[wwetjw]

[FlashGamesMaster]

Are you going to get the Asus Transformer Prime tablet?

[ThisKidYouAllKnow]
