Next month should bring along a nice range of software updates for Android mobile phone users on the airwaves of SFR.

Among these updates, we can count the Android 4.0.5 Ice Cream Sandwich OS flavor aimed at the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S smartphones.

Both of these devices have been listed on the update table that the wireless carrier has recently unveiled, and both of them are said to be slated for an upgrade to Android 4.0.5 as soon as next month.

The update will be delivered to users over the air, the same as the previous software for these devices has been released.

For those out of the loop, we should note that the latest update for the Galaxy Nexus was Android 4.0.2, while the Nexus S received Android 4.0.3 about two months ago.

The update for the Nexus S caused a series of issues and Google was forced to put an end to its delivery soon after starting the process.

The upcoming software update should bring fixes for all the problems caused by the previous update, and should deliver some enhancements to Galaxy Nexus as well. After all, the device was said to have been hit by random reboot issues.

Google has certainly packed the Android 4.0.5 update with a series of other enhancements as well, though it remains to be seen what they consist of.

At SFR, these Nexus devices are only some of the smartphones that will taste updates in the near future.

HTC Sensation is also expected to receive Ice Cream Sandwich soon, with the Sense 3.5 UI on top. Samsung Galaxy S II will also receive the update in March, it seems.

SFR also preps Android 2.3.6 for Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy Pro and Motorola DEFY+ in March, as well as Android 2.3.4 for LG Optimus Black as soon as this month. The exact release dates for all this firmware have yet to emerge, so stay tuned.
