    no no updates or update delayed, al people will says, why sony why dont you like hatc apple or other company?

    and then sony updates their phone line : why sony battery live, not as smooth as before, hating the update.

    you know what , you should be thankful because of the source code from sony youll get better custom and lighter ROM,stop b*thing, and do more reading on XDA, or get a better phone !

                    What about xperia mini? When will it get an update? They're basically the same phone, except without a qwerty keyboard on the mini

                                I've updated my SE ray, it's snappier now with ICS (and yes, it's 'Sony' logo there),
                                overall it's all good, but I kinda missed something from earlier version : screenshot and direct search,
                                I can't find screenshot menu from power button, and I can't start searching, without getting to search widget.
                                I hope Sony will fix this soon
