dated to 4.0.3 last night on my nexus s GSM.i think another update will follow ..camera app has bugs, it freezes, only 5 screens available with no previews. The permanent google bar is taking up space on every screen..even if its removed the space cannot be utilized..i miss my gingerbread..also no face lock...some one there are no folders..u just have to drag an app on top of another and it will form a folder..just like in ill phone

    why are there some comments here asking about update for galaxy s or motorola? this article is about the (Samsung-made) Google Nexus S.

    of course, this will get an update ahead of other phones, because it is Google's phone (though samsung did made it).

        It's sad how the Galaxy S hasn't even been mentioned by Google.

              Just updated to ICS on my Nexus S (T-Mobile Version, running on Mobilicity in Canada) and its awesome, haven't tried all the new features yet but I've un-installed pretty much all my UI enhancements that I had installed previously on gingerbread, the stock ICS is very tasty!

              Really loving the camera launch from lock screen, and to some one that asked no the Nexus S doesn't get a FM radio (it doesn't have one installed physically).

                                Just got the official ICS update for NEXUS S. The update is lacking couple of things- face unlock and no option to create/customize folders Besides this, there can be many apps that might not work-- so far VIBER is not working on ICS. My guess is its a 'down-sized' version(4.0.3) exclusively made for nexus s. Any thoughts on this?

                                  AnonD-27407, 17 Dec 2011The galaxy s will be lucky to get ICS. Don't count on it.Still ICS rom from xda is available for the GS1 users. If Samsung is willing to update, then they could.
