"The truth behind the XPlay not getting ICS:
It's not impossible to port ICS on the XPlay device, as the cost of doing that would be very high and the profit/sales increase non-existant, or very little."
That is so true!
Major companies desert and abandon customers whenever the money is in and that is shameful.
No european laws protect customers from abusive companies.
This is not the worst case, but it is typical:
release an innovative phone - publicise it as future-proof and then... if it doesn't sell well... just drop it.
ICS could function as well with the gamepad as Gingerbread does. Lower specs phones have been upgraded, so the big issue here is:
Is Sony willing to make the effort to keep its promise (and not because there is still big money in it)?
Unfortunately, the answer is obvious: No. Aony siimply doesn't care enough.
Like any lazy kid, sony simply said "Too much trouble. Won't work."
And gullible customers, fanboys and employees repeat that key sentence as a mindless herd.
A precedent has been created.
Don't forget that if we just say 'yes', this excuse will be accepted every time it is used:
"It won't work with your hardware."
* Actually meaning: "Come and buy us a new phone!"
Companies who recur to such schemes should be lawfully punished.

Very disappointed in Sony.
We were completely let down as they've stpped all support for this - not so long ago - flagship model.
Let there be no doubt about it: if it weren't for economic interests, we would already be playing on Android 4.x in our phones.
Sony just didn't care. It wasn't profitable and they had many "new" phones being released.
Abandoning customers after failing to keep their promises deserves the ill reputation sony's getting.
This phone is everywhere on second hand cheap sales as owners are trying to keep uptaded by buying some other brand.
If sony's abandoned their promises and neglected their customers, it is definitely time for customers, as myself, to look elsewhere.
Due to my experience, I cannot recommend any Sony phone, as the brand is NOT trustworthy.
Sony? Keep away from them.

olly#, 23 Aug 2012is the sony play upgradeable to ics in the uk yet.?I read on another site that Sony tested the Play on ICS & won't be offering an upgrade as the gameplay becomes unstable. Why does everybody want to upgrade when the phone does EVERYTHING you want! This phone is the BEST EVER!

hi, i just use this phone for almost a year. btw, i change my phone every year. but if u are looking for a PSP kind of phone. i think u will be disapointed. this is totally way off the psp standard. due to lack of internal memory. if u r looking to download app. this might not be the phone for u. even u wan to dl the game (take it u willing to pay) it will not have sufficient memory for u to dl a lot of game. So inconclusion. this is not a PSP. for gamer. i suggest you will look for another phone or consider PSP Vista.

phd160, 05 Sep 2012hi users of this phone, I want to get one of this cell bu... morei would advise not to get this phone as the slider becomes very loose and scratches the gamepad. it is also very bulky although it is only £150 unlocked. i had this phone from december to june- I then sold it and purchased a samsung galaxy nexus for £300. If ou like to game, then i suggest purchasing a ps vita. they are an amazing product.
