Cant understand why you would want to stick up for a company if we dont moan and winge they will only take even longer. It's our duty as consumers to push for the most of what we have paid for.

          Here we go again. people who can't read. the sony mobile blog didnt say at any point that it is discouraging the update for ics on 2011 xperia series. it mainly explained the software differences and what needs to be addressed as per service and stability issues. people who cant read please dont bother to post.

                  Uh oh, here go the crybabies that can't wait 15 days for an update. Here they go with the "I'll never buy Sony again" comments.

                  Seriously, some people really need to be drug into the street and punched in the face repeatedly for their whining, impatient, nagging and blatant bickering.

                    ICS is not recommended for Xperia 2011 lineup as written on 'Sony Xperia Blog Portal'. Sad to read that.. :-(

                        mid-april people! it's only a matter of days to wait. basically i personally think that its will all be for the better since it only shows how critical and responsible sony is when it comes to their brand and service. it will be a bug free update. this comment section is only made for sony users that are waiting. so done compare this to other manufacturers. we dont care. all brands are with bugs. its just a question of performance and stability, no doubt sony deals with it all.

                              After owning both - Samsung and Sony Android phones I say that Sony's software (and update) quality is better. However unfortunately the whole process of updating an Android device is ridiculous because of regulations, that's why it's costly and time consuming for manufacturers and relatively fast and easy for amateur programmers. They don't have to get their revisions verified and certified. Unfortunately because of these silly regulations (people should voice their opinions against these) many of us will switch our phones before the next update comes.
