Same feeling here.. 4.4.4 is a major improvement over 4.4.2.. Tons of internal issues will be solved.. I would br happy with 4.4.4.. But its always good to see Android L too.. Lets hope for the best..

    Sony Xperia Z should be updated to Android 4.4 KitKat by March - according to a Polish carrier

    Sony’s Xperia Z received an official update to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean in December, and it appears that it will make the jump to KitKat pretty soon as well.

    According to Play - one of Poland’s major mobile carriers - its Sony Xperia Z should be updated to Android 4.4.2 KitKat in late February, or March. If that turns out to be accurate, Xperia Z owners in other parts of the world should expect to get the new version of the OS at about the same time. The Xperia Z turned 1 year old last month, and a KitKat birthday present would be really nice.

    Alongside the Xperia Z, other slightly older Sony Android devices that will likely be updated to Android 4.4 KitKat later this year are the Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, and the Xperia Tablet Z. Naturally, the newer Xperia Z1 and Z Ultra will also be updated, possibly starting the next few months.

    I've had a cleanup here guys and I'd prefer not to be returning for the same reasons.
    If you can't keep things on-topic and civil here, I'll just close the thread... In fact I'm struggling to find any decent reason for it to remain open.
    Please resist the urge to ask "When will XXXX be released" because nobody knows... It will be released when it's ready.

    LOL look at the comments of the article. Some kid called "sanjaykarmakar" saying "I request my phone Xperia z kit kat 4.4.2 update. Please as soon as possible." - it's almost as if he thinks Sony will read that very comment and think that seeing as that dude requests it, they'd better release it.

    Sony devs are reading XDA, they are even using some of our ideas.

    I am certain that they have used some of my ideas as some new things implemented are strangly exactly identical to some of my own.

    Same for me. Slow Android updates and ****ty custom ROM support (CM11 was much better on my Galaxy S2 than on the Xperia ZL now) and no direct and easy way to root the device (on android 4.3) is a no go for me.

    The new Android KitKat firmware (build
    version: 10.5.A.0.230) is said to be a
    software patch to fix the flaws found in the
    earlier version '10.5.A.0.227' which was
    sent to certifications at PTCRB, reported
    XperiaBlog .
    According to the PTCRB database screen
    shots available with the technology blog,
    Xperia Z's three variants - C6603, C6606
    and C6616; Xperia ZL- C6506, Xperia and
    the 2013 flagship Sony slate - Xperia Tablet
    Z- SGP321 are expected to get the update,
    probably by May end. Besides these
    devices, Xperia ZR models are also said to
    receive same update this month as well.
    This episode brings back the memory of
    Sony rolling out the stability update to fix
    audio bug and some minor flaws affecting
    Xperia Z1, Z1 Compact and Z Ultra in April,
    after they received the KitKat update in
    mid-March.
    Now, it seems like Sony has learned lessons
    to take precaution and fully scrutinize the
    firmware update before releasing them to
    the devices, thereby avoiding blemishes to
    company's name in the future.
    As reported earlier , the new software is
    expected to bring in additional Xperia
    Themes (more than 280 styles)
    enhancements in white status bar,
    entertainment apps- Sony WALKMAN,
    Album, Movies, PlayStation 4 compatibility
    and the native apps like messaging,
    MyXperia, Smart Connect, Small apps,
    TrackID, Smart Social Camera are said to
    get facelift and many more new features.
    Description of Key Features of Android v4.4
    KitKat OS Update:
    Location Menu: This integrated location
    menu enable users to easily activate GPS,
    Wi-Fi and mobile networks, while
    simultaneously keeping a tab on the
    battery consumption by the location
    service based apps.
    Enhanced Google Mobile Service (GMS)
    Apps: This application helps user to
    automatically back-up photos and video
    clips. He/she also can create, view, share
    or rename Google Docs and files.
    Improved Caller-ID: If a user receives a call

    look for matches on the net with local
    listings via Google Maps.
    Priority Contacts: The new OS empowers
    the phone to automatically prioritize
    contact list for easy access, based on the
    frequency of the peoples' contacts to which
    users talk.
    Immersive Display: To enhance the
    entertainment factor, the new OS comes
    with immersive mode, where the status
    bar and navigation buttons disappear in to
    the background while you play music,
    games and read e-books. Users can just
    swipe the edge of the screen to bring
    back the utility buttons.
