I'm unaware of any "must have" features, at this point. please let me know if there are some awesome new features.

I am using speech to text to create this message. I seldom actually type on my bionic.

Personally, I think it's less about amazing features and more about using a single OS base across products and cleaning up the disaster that is HC...

I like how it will allow us to pinpoint data hungry apps and have control over their data usage.
Right now I can only see the battery percentage of certain apps.

I don't have any issues with HoneyComb. What am I missing that made it a disaster? LOL!

Of course I am also very much looking forward to ICS!

Hardware acceleration has me the most excited.

+1. I can't wait till we start getting some ports happening. Depending how my Atrix is with the new ICS, I could see myself hanging onto this phone for even longer than I already have (at least until quad core's start dropping lol)

I am stuck for a two year contract and I have to fulfill it. So my Droid 3 has to work until then.

Hardware acceleration, faster speeds, and other little changes that I haven't bothered to look up but know will be surperior to GB just like every new version of Android is better than the last.

For some the "must have" is simply owning the latest and greatest, besides, ICS tastes better than Gingerbread. ;-)
