Ice Cream Sandwich
When used in reference to a cell phone, what does the term "ice cream sandwich" imply? We just acquired our first "Smart Phones" and are trying to learn the terminology.

Don't worry about it, you'll be on Jellybean soon enough. ;)
And how do you know this?
The OP didn't say what Android version his phone was running and, hopefully, his new phone already runs Jelly Bean. On the other hand, although Jelly Bean was released in July, 2012, only 28.4% of Android users are using Jelly Bean, and only 2.3% are using the major release (from 4.1.x to 4.2.x), which was made available in February of this year.
It is the bane of the Android ecosystem; even if the manufacture or carrier promises you that the phone will be upgraded to the the next OS (or even the current one), there is no assurance that the promise will be kept, and there is many instances of no upgrades made available, even when previously promised.
BTW, Key Lime Pie, the next version of Android is due out in this quarter.
