I believe Sony should realese the Xperia Z with 4.2.1 so as to outpace its competitors even if they postpone it accordingly to skin the 4.2.1 with Timescape UI it is really neccesary at this time cause 4.2.1 was released on 27th November

This post has also has been created on Sony's official forum ---> Talk Sony Mobile Thread number: 69065
please all of you that agree can go dicuss and there so that Sony can see the requirments of the consumer.

You know, nothing would be wrong if they simply put GB on it, and then each month release a new major update (ICS, both JBs);
Because, the more Android versions a phone can handle (officially), the better it is for development...
The Nexus S is a perfect example;
GB>ICS>JB>JB.2.1

Creating a major update every month is close to impossible. Well, actually possible, but then don't expect a bug-free and/or stable update.

Besides, why provide so many? GB is getting old already, ICS is still in use, as JB hasn't been around for very long. These 2 are just fine.

Read a few days back that sony would be releasing 4.2 immediately after releasing the Z
That's what they said to Xperia S buyers, too. ICS update immediately after the release.

And guess what happened:silly::eek:

I'm actually surprised that Xperia Z comes with 4.1, instead of 4.0.4. ROFL

It cant be launched with 4.2.1 cuz qualcom, and many other manufactures didnt create drivers for that android version.

That decision isnt make by sony, sony do what it can do.

So the Nexus 4 is running on pixie dust then? Of course there's drivers! The biggest reason is simply that during the months of software/hardware testing JB 4.1 would have been the current OS.. so that's what it's releasing with.

Just to answer you....

Nexus devices are running qualcom, nvidia and samsumg SoC's.
So tell me again these manufacturers that havent released these drivers you are waiting on.

No other devices have 4.2.1 because
1. 4.2 is buggy...look at the bluetooth issues for example
2. Updating UI to 4.1/4.2 needs more care as to not break your own UI features
3. 4.2 came so (relatively) soon after 4.2 that most manufacturers havent even finished up 4.1
