Any word yet on a solid release date for ICS on the Xperia S?

I dont really understand Sony's policy about software , you're creating a new phone which relaesed in feb 2012 and the most current software is ice cream sandwich and the phone comes with gingerbread , it sounds like you creating a high end notebook and it comes with vista ,

you sucks Sony , believe me I'm telling this just buying Xperia S a few hours ago .

even though u sucks , u dont destroy my feelings about sony

We'll just have to hope that they work hard optimising it.. I prefer a delayed optimised ICS than a crappy worthless update

I totally get what you say, but you don't want to wait for ages to put an outdated but optimized OS on your phone? I hope for some BETA tester ROM release from Sony on Xperia S forum as well.

I'm not sure we have to wait all that much longer...

They said it can be end of March/early April, I would assume they would try and release it around then, or at least that beta you speak of. I don't think Sony wants to adopt SE's update reputation, so I would hope they would release it around when they said they will release it.

Jelly Bean is in the works, sure, but it's all down to rumors at the moment to when it will be actually released. If we are one update behind for awhile, I don't really care as long as it's optimized for the phone, and not some half-baked, rushed OS port.
