One of the main reasons I got an Xperia U is its awesome display and I was hoping it would taste Jelly Bean. Now, I feel like I'm conned by Sony. :|

The Gpu thing is not convincing.
Tipo too has adreno 200.
xperia E ,J and tipo ,miro has same specifications almost. with adreno 200 gpu's
then why no update for tipo and miro??

Samsung has evolved from that to the company that now supports their flagships way beyond their rivals.
What does Sony do? It just launches new phones and kills support to phones that were launched this year (despite the promises of 18 months of updates).

Clearly one of us sucks really bad at math, I could have sworn 18 months were more than just a year.

Sony does not copycat Samsung, yet (somehow) you do feel the need to constantly reference previous Samsung instances that either were in the market (for phones) or happened before the Sony comparisons (for policies).
Do you even know the meaning of the word or are you just impaired in that way?

FACT: Two companies release their flagship at just around the same time. One year later, one of the flagships is still getting support (Galaxy S2), the other is already killed (Arc S).

Spin that all you want, the fact is not going to change.
Deny all you want that Sony has the promise of 18 months of updates, apparently it takes knowing math and not just reading to realize 18 months is more than a year.

What might happen is anyone's guess.
What has already happened is a fact and the fact is Sony has already let down their costumers time and time again in that very same regard.

You either smarten up or bend over and take it.
I see you already made your preferences.

Hmm.... I didn't know that phones with worse GPU (Adreno 200) have better chances of getting the latest Android OS than phones with better GPU (Mali-400).
That's like LOL!
I see Sony has made some customers angry, but you musn't forget that Scamsung was the same when they released ICS, except for SGS1 users, while Sony on the other had released ICS for some of their low-budget 2011 models.

it's a lie! The newly announced xperia E has the same hardware and ram as miro and tipo but comes out with JB!!
That's the usual gimmick aimed at selling new devices instead of supporting the ones already sold, and what's more shame they are well within the usual 1 year support period!
I thought it was only Samsung to do these things, but I see Sony is following...

if only it was possible that all disappointed sony users could dump their used phones in front of their office to show their feelings .. that would really make a statement .. Sony is not only late in delivering updates but also abandoning some models so that those 2011 models and also a few very good 2012 models (sola and U ) dont cannibalize the sales of their unnecessarily long and identical product line up..
