I was wondering if the R5 of ICS is out in UK yet for the Tablet S WiFi only version, i have an OTA available but can't tell as it simply says "4.0.3 Upgrade" and does not specify what version of ICS is it. Can someone confirm this for me before going to the effort of decrypting etc. to keep root then coming to realisation that its the same version...

Start downloading and then look in the cache folder and tell me the name of the zip in there and I will be able to tell you :)
Have not heard anything from anyone else.

I just changed region to UK to have a look.

IT IS NOT R5

Just standard signed-nbx03_003-ota-120803004.zip which is R1A.

Cheers, just wondering what is actually new in r5? From what I know its not really much is it?
Xperia Apps etc are added so the older Tab is like the newer Xperia Tab. Has Xperia link, walkman etc etc. If you are keen to have a look just change region to US....

Note: It changes your recovery so you CAN NO LONGER make decrypt / install custom roms using AIO as shell is disabled in recovery. :(
