No manufacturer updates Android quickly. You want the latest? Get a Nexus.

I'm happy with my Xperia P. I like Sony's designs more than any other Android manufacturer.

Oh, the Samsung Galaxy Blaze (which has better specs than the P) just got ICS a month or so ago. Who knows when JB will arrive on that model. So unless you're a Galaxy "S" user, you're more out of luck than Sony owners.

What I would prefer, however, is an unofficial, out-of-warranty, one-click root app from Sony to allow other vanilla ROMS to be loaded easily.

Wait a minute, werent the Xperia S, Ion, Acro S etc... meant to get the update now in December??? Wonder what changed, by the time this 4.1 update arrives to Sony phones, other OEMs will be updating their phones to 4.2, heck even the almost 2yrld Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note 1 will be on 4.1. Oh dear Sony...

By the looks of many comments on Xperia Blog many people have had enough of Slow Sony and are moving to other manufacturers. Seems to me the longer Sony deliberately keep 2012 handset owners waiting,they get so fed up and buy the latest one hence more money.

That would explain a lot. Atleast Xperia T and TX users are getting the update 1st, what is quite funny though is how the Sony Xperia J , Sony Xperia P and Sony Xperia go are getting the update before Xperia S, Xperia SL, Xperia ion and Acro S, despite these being the original flagships.

Yes, my bad, i must've picked that up whilest reading through a thread here, some were saying that Xperia S should get the update in December but Sony themselves never said so, either way, glad im not a XS owner, this is just so unfair, the XS was the 1st 2012 flagship yet it seems to be a very low priority to Sony, explains why so many Xperia S users are moving to the Xperia T.

No. Sony needs to listen to it's own press releases. Specificially the one apologising for stuffing around their customers with previous slow updates and ensuring it wouldn't happen again. It hasn't changed. Sony, your software department sucks...BIG TIME!

Personally I still don't get what's so good about getting the latest software?

While true there are some apps that run only on ICS and newer, but most are compatible with gingerbread. To me having a stable bugfree software is the most important thing. My Xperia Go is on gingerbread, never updated it to ICS and it runs perfectly smooth and still does everything I want in an android phone. I will only update if there really is something beneficial from it such as making it more bugfree and efficient.

I've always believed that the latest isn't the greatest, and it's true that recent software needs faster hardware (it has mostly been that way with technology).

Just like in a computer, we still have our old Pentium 4 and it runs win XP perfectly fine, I can put windows 7 on it, but what will win 7 improve or do on an old pentium 4? none, only some better games/programs compatibility but that's it, and it'll definitely even run slower than win XP does on that computer.

The only thing that I didn't like from sony was that the ICS they released for older phones was slower and buggy as complained by users, but then again the bottom line was the user had a choice whether or not to update, plus I think they released ICS because a lot of people were constantly bugging them to make an ICS release when in fact everything is working fine on gingerbread, why ask for a fix it if it ain't broken?

I would understand people's complaint's if the phone was truly left behind with an obsolete android version, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
