Google which is the god of Android's Armies has abadoned us!

Our god only thinking spreading his belief known as "Schmidtism" and then ignores us as the veterans which are old, slow, and no more reliable to go to war!

I own a xperia sola and if sony is really aiming for the better user experiance of the phone, what made sony think the xperia j's specs can handle jb more than the sola's specs? is it cuz solas bit old? maybe the age cant handle it? come on sony whom do you hire for these lame excuses?

fine just give us a stable ics and fix the camera speed for pointers it takes too long to capture a picture compared to gb cam speed

Update schedule sucks !!! I hope sony shall understand it, when xperia s owners shall go for SGS3 or nexus 4. Sorry but android fans, who buy "flagships" are very sensible when it comes to updates. I SAY NO FOR MANUFACTURES WHO DO NOT CARE FOR SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE OF THEIR SOLD PHONES.

Check your facts, 3GS has iOS6, its the 3G that doesn't.

Currently the update list starts with the 2009 iPhone 3GS.

But hey, Apple is evil, Sony cares about "user experience" so all 2011 phones are obsolete as well as some 2012 phones.
Now who's the one making overpriced crap stuff?

OK, so the Xperia T, Sony's flagship which was announced September 2012, is getting JB AFTER Samsung's GS2 which was announced February 2011. The Xperia J has practically the same GPU used in 2011 Xperias such as the Arc S, the J is getting JB , the Arc S and the rest aren't getting JB. I don't think this is going to make Arc S users ( myself included) very happy or satisfied with Sony's software support. I think I'm going to skip Sony' Yuga and upgrade to a Butterfly or wait for the GS4.

They try to satisfy all users of all ranges? Go tell that to all those who got Xperia U... or Sola...
Or all those who have a 2011 phone and got sacked...
Let's not even go to this years low-ends Miro and Tipo!

Sony just doesn't plan ahead. When I make a comparison I look to promote the best practices, not the worst (that is the promotion of mediocrity).
I do not enjoy a world of mediocrity, so copying the worst practices of other Android manufactures doesn't make it "ok" in my books.

Sony will just change the dates and the jelly bean update will start sometime in Q3 coz their rather you buy the next Xperia piece of crap than have to bother with updating the OS. So the Moral here is you want the Android OS updates get a TOP Line Samsung Gaxaxy or a NEXUS PHONE and dont get anything else and dint get an iphone like i did its shit too

Galaxy S is of Nexus "S" level.
Both the phones has 1 GHz Cortex-A8 with PowerVR SGX540 and 512 MB RAM.
Get your facts right before you make such comments and influence others...
