It's weird, but in a funny way.

                Hi kababayans! The ICS is not really slow, it's just a matter of setting the animation for both windows and transistion effects from Settings>Developer Options tab. All good and smooth. What I noticed was that is much faster in terms of response if you have a 3rd party home launcher (e.g Go Launcher, ADW, LP, etc.) but if you have the stock/default homescreen, its noticably smooth. To help you guys a bit, try installing the "Fast Reboot" app. Clears cache and memory in a snap for a faster performance.

                  Well clearly, the damn battery wont charge on the USB and cant access my memory card on PC.

                  Surprisingly my phone seems to hang up more often than self resolve like before

                          I have updated Xperia Neo V, the update start rolling in India yesterday only. The UI is refreshing, although cannot say I liked it or hate it. Few points I'd like to mention here:
                          1. First, there is a warning on sony's page to upgrade it on your own risk. Read it and then decide to upgrade. You can find it on sony blogs.
                          2. Few new introductions, and few omissions.
                          -Camera quality has not improved, ICS feature which has live effects is not there.
                          - Camera UI is not very great, infact, older one was better.
                          - There is no macro mode in the focus menu. I cant find macro mode anywhere, which is strange.
                          - Video recording is a bit better, with better auto focus.
                          - There is no screen capture button when you long press the power button.
                          - Setting button in the drop down menu, which is good, allows you to switch data source (wifi, 3G). You dont have to go to main menu or home page.
                          - telephony is better, quick dials are there.
                          -Slide lock sucks. (Few days ago, apple patented this, I pray God they sue other manufacturers for the usage.)
                          - One very important thing, UI is not slow, however feels a bit slow if compared to gingerbread, as the way they have configured the kinetic scrolling, it is not kinetic enough, it kinda stalls somewhat and hence fees slow. There is a noticeable lag in few applications though(contact for example) which was not there in GB.
                          - Black theme all around.Still trying to like it.
                          - It still feel like the job is not done yet, looks like beta version and with a few hiccups.
                          - ICS is not supported by all the applications, so you are gonna loose some applications.
                          - No change in music app, hoping for manual equalizer, sadly, which is not a part of the package.
                          - Gmail application is very nice, has colors matched up with desktop app.

                          And that is it for now, next update after a few days of usage.
