Got the update on my international version lt30p. I'm in the US. Definitely seems considerably faster and smoother through transitions, opening and closing apps. Max camera resolution reduced from 13MP to 12MP. Picture quality, however, appears improved, as is the auto scene recognition. Haven't used enough to report on battery life. No gripes so far.

    Hi could you please provide more details to fellow XPERIA T users till we get this update, what changes do you notice besides the usual jelly bean changes, anything new like extra home screens..... sending contacts via sms added or not ? How about performance? more ram available ?
    Thanks.

      Anonymous, 04 Feb 2013TROLL! my xperia from 2011 works fine with ICS, I dont not... moreI take no bias between the two brands. But I do commend Samsung for releasing, at the very minimum, a STABLE OS for their phones. Something (most) Sony Ericsson phones from 2011 do not have.

      Go on Sony Mobile forums RIGHT NOW and see the comments that are being placed on there regarding the ICS updates. On a daily basis are a complaints about the performance and constant requests for bug fixes. I own an Arc S myself. As someone who purchased this phone (ie, gave Sony Ericsson my hard-earned money), I think we all deserve to be at least given a stable release that we've been denied. Myself; I'm currently on the stock GB OS and I doubt I'll be updating this device any time soon.

      You tell me what model phone you have and the chances are I'll be able to shut you down immediately as ALL 2011 Xperias have ICS issues.

      And mind you. There's no point in updating their entire 2011 range (I know Samsung didn't) if all of them turn out to be laggy like no tomorrow. Seriously.

                            The official announcement from Sony for update is March thru April. These is just an advance release. The rumored Christmas update for Xperia t is not official from Sony. While some brand announce almost weekly to have an update and yet it's postponed, just to keep the hype. I have to say sony wI'll have all the planned update in time or maybe earlier than expected. SONY FTW.

                              Anonymous, 04 Feb 2013Considering how ALL 2011 Xperias have been pretty much side... moreTROLL!
                              my xperia from 2011 works fine with ICS, I dont notice any bugs (and I don't use my phone like once in 2 days!)
                              you are complaining about Sony's ICS update on 2011 series? okay, did Sams#it even updated entire 2011 lineup to ICS?
                              and still if you are not satisfied with your xperia ICS then you can very easily put cynogen on it, xperia being developer friendly (UNLIKE SAMMY)
