Here’s the reason you purchase a Nexus device, ladies and gents. Vodafone, in their latest blog post, have said that they’re currently testing the Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich” update for the Samsung Nexus S. Sure, it might be over a month after the launch of the current flagship Nexus device, the Galaxy Nexus, but it’s still quicker to get Android 4.0 than any other major device available at the moment.

Vodafone have no specific date set for the launch, so we’ll take a stab in the dark and say very late this month or early February if everything goes to plan. That’s if you haven’t already unlocked and flashed Android 4.0 like a real dedicated Android user.
