Normally we rejoice when we see a manufacturer share updates with us on when Ice Cream Sandwich will be coming to its legacy devices, but HTC’s latest blog post leaves us with mixed emotions. First, the decent news: we now have a slightly more specific timeline for each phone, with the targeted deadlines now updated to show specific months rather than quarters. And yes, there’s bad news to go along with it: it’s also added a list of devices that won’t make the cut to receive Ice Cream Sandwich. That’s right, HTC laid down the law for several phones and tablets, stating that “in general, devices with 512MB ROM or less will not be upgraded to Android 4.0.”

It turns out that Motorola didn’t want to wait until the Google deal closed — eller, för övrigt, an American launch — to undertake a significant revamp of its phone line. A quiet Chinese event last week is now known to have brought us three RAZR-derived, all-touch phones for the three carriers in the Asian country: the XT885 for China Unicom (pictured at left), XT889 for China Telecom (Center) and MT887 for China Mobile (right). Other than the network types and pretty bits, you’re mostly looking at the same enheten, where the highlight is an official dip into Android 4.0 waters that drops the physical navigation in favor of more Nexusish on-skärmen keys. Don’t expect a revolution in performance over last fall’s roster given that they still have 1.2GHz dual-core processors, eight-megapixel rear cameras and 4.3-inch, 540 X 960 displays. The trio arrives in China on June 2nd; Motorola is likely more worried about popping champagne than giving out US launch details right now, but earlier leaks give us a strong hunch that the MT887 could hit Verizon as the uncannily similar (if still very unofficial) Droid Fighter before too long.
