A great example of a 512mb RAM phone running Android4.0 ICS beautifuly is the Google Nexus S which recently got the Android4.0.4 update. ICS isnt just built with thdm Galaxy Nexus in mind its built with the Nexus S in mind, with its 1GHz single core CPU and 512mb RAM.
Seems Sony are taking the easy way out here by 'passing the buck', im worried for the 2011 Xperia owners, does it mean after they get 4.0.3 Sony will drop without fixing bugs like they did to the X10 after updating it to 2.3.3.

in that case they could launch another Gingerbread update (e.g. 2.3.7 ä la Xperia NXT) with improved stability, refined system and all the minor bugs solved, at least one can decide to remain with GB but having the ultimate version... I think that it can't be that difficult

So they make this claim about RAM and the only phones not with 512MB are the P,S and Ion.If the experience is that comprimized then why not at least give the new mid range phones 768MB if you want to differentiate with high end getting 1GB?

Yes, Android does close activities and services when it's running low on memory. It's always done that, so it's nothing new compared to what you're already using.
Having said that ICS is not the reason why you don't want to upgrade. Sony's customizations, on the other hand, are. A vanilla version of ICS runs beautifully on a phone like the Xperia S, despite its 512 MB RAM limit. ICS is beautiful the way it is. Sony should just stop working on customizing the OS, and use it in all of its beauty.
Also - it's pretty ridiculous that Sony is blaming Google for bad performance when they're using several years old hardware.

That's your opinion. I like what Sony is doing.
All that fuss about a delay, what are you doing all those day playing phones?
Sony phones are the most balances from all android handset, so play with your Samsung and be happy with it
It's pretty ridiculous you blame Sony.

You're right. It is my opinion. And it's the right opinion.
ICS does work on devices with mediocre hardware (read: Sony phones), but all of Sony's customizations are making it a lot more heavy on resources and that's simply not necessary. Also, please cut the crap regarding "playing with my Samsung". I had an Xperia S before you could even get your hands on one.

I think this will all depend on the user. I think this Ice cream update will be fine for the non-extensive users. I mean, I only use a few widgets on my Galaxy ace and I also don't use any live wallpaper any more and my galaxy runs smoothly because of that. I also often close any running applications on the background which prevents lag on my phone.
I don't need all of these widgets..

This is why Sony will never compete with Samsung and HTC and will always be behind the times. Its a reminder of how it was with SE and now Sony alone are continuing the trend.
If i were a 2011 handset owner, i'd go down the other route of getting my own custom version of ICS from teams like Cyanogenmod when they get around to Android 4.

im a neo v user and gingerbread is awesome but hearing this worries me. I think I will see how it goes with others if it's not good then im enjoying my phone because what I have noticed is ALL OEMs put bloatware on their roms. which on turn use up previous memory. If I root then surely ICS will run heaps smoother. As for the nexus s comment it's running touchwiz which in all the OEMs. is the hungriest for RAM usage! For me it's a wait and see approach.
