Ice Cream Sandwich update for Google Nexus S paused

Google announced that they will be releasing Android 4.0.1 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) for the Google Nexus S GSM version, and the first wave of updates have been released already. However a new post from Google suggests that they will be putting the updates on hold for awhile.

The news comes from Google's Community Manager, Paul Wilcox, who says that they will be pausing the updates for awhile in order to monitor the feedback from people who received the first wave of updates.

Apparently there have been reports of phones getting caught in computing loops and poor battery life. Google have probably received several reports of these incidents to make them want to pause the updates to investigate them. So for all those who are waiting, it may be at least a couple of weeks before Google is ready to start releasing the update out to your device again.

Are you one of the users who are a part of the first update wave? If so how is your ICS experience ?
