      This is such a sad and bad news to us xperia users... ics update was full of bugs and its only natural for a good company to correct those bugs thru JB update... unfortunately Sony isn't.. so Goodbye Sony forever!

            It was sure that 2011 Xperias won't get a JB update. They have to promote 2012 models and Xperia S, P and U probably will get it.

              At least Windows Phone 8 guaranteed at least 18 months of updates. They went from Windows CE kernel to Windows NT kernel. They aren't going to change to another kernel any time in the near future. WP8 should get updates for long time. All the current Windows Phone are running latest WP7.5 and they all will get WP7.8

                    Guys, I know that current Lumia series won't get wp8, but at least they don't lie to users. They say how things stands and that is it! I'm not mad at Sony because of not getting JB... I'm frustrated because of LG's lying idiots!

                                    I was a SE/Sony Fanboy. I had some SE smartphones with Android, but they are so "unloving" with us and with de Android philosophy that know I'm a Samsung Galaxy s III owner ! I hope that they treat me better !

                                      Even though Jelly Bean looks more opotimised than ICS, I don't blame Sony. ICS was too laggy on the 2011 lineup and they didn't want to spend time updating again when they are busy realeasing some new ...dualcore phones.

                                      But, what a shame for LG.

                                        mobile master, 27 Jul 2012but how could this be the xperia s is same as one s, and if... moreNo, it's not the same at all. Better GPU( Adreno 225 for One S vs 220 for Xperia S) and even more it has to deliver less power to One S screen since it has less pixels.

                                        Though, Xperia S will get someday the Jelly Bean update after the ICS one. The article is about Xperia ARC/ARC S and the rest of the 2011 lineup.
