[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NABENDU1:
All Xperia P and NXT series lovers there is some great news out here !! Well the official statement from sony that our devices might be getting the jellly bean update in the end of Q1 in most probability will turn out to be false !! As reported by TechEnclave [EXCLUSIVE] Sony Xperia Go/Sola/P/U getting Jelly Bean early December, other models also in queue !! so get ready for the butter smooth interface on our P's within the next 2 months !! Well though many would argue that why should one believe some rumours rather than the official statements from sony the list of the following points might prove my case

1)In case of ICS update the 2011 Lineup was the first to receive the update before the 2012 NXT series !! this shows the pattern followed by sony to first update the older phones rather than the latest ones.. This might be the same pattern followed for the Jelly Bean update

2)The Update of Xperia U/SOLA/Go to ICS had the latest walkman and media apps as in the latest range of devices ie T/V/J. Though Xperia P received the ICS update more than a month before the Xperia Sola/U/go there is still no word about an update with the new media apps inspite of two firmwares with the new media apps listed on the PTCRB website ie firmwares 6.1.1.B.1.10 , 6.1.1.B.0.249

3) There have been no recent development on the xperia s ics firmware the last certified firmware being on August 30 ie approximately 2months ago !! no updates for the new walkman and media apps for the xperia s which is their flagship device till just a few days ago sounds strange enough !!such silence on the development of xperia s and p by sony which is known for issuing fixes and minor updates almost once in two months if not every month raises the curiosity

4)There have been reports of sighting of Xperia Arc S running 4.2 recently !! Though this could possibly be fake but still it could still let one believe that the Jelly Bean update was being tested on xperia arc s !! Probably with angry users they might also be looking at porting jb on arc s !!

5) The schedules giving by any other manufacturer doesnt speak of late Q1 release of Jellybean for their flagship devices !! looking at sony policy of gaining market share in the mobile space it will be cynical if they release such late updates fr their premium phones !!

6) The policy of sony is giving 18 months updates to all itz phones on the condition that the hardware are equally supported by the updates !! if sony fails to even fullfil giving a 12 months update for the U/SOLA/ P this would be a crime and a case of misleading of the consumers

7) with the presumed release of Key Lemon Pie on 29th october , this looks to be a sureshot indicator that the jelly bean for the supported devices should roll out soon !! cause if manufacturers like sony wait till late feb or erly march for JB updates there would already be samsung phone sout there with Key Lemon Pie and this would clearly ruin the chances of revival of sony mobile

8)Lastly the official sony releases have never been trustworthy !! recall the examples of Xperia Play failing to receive ICS and the turning of tables in the case of Xperia Arc S receiving Jelly Bean more than once !! so trusting the sonys statement without certainity can be regarded as sin in itself !!

So though itz not official till the end u read this post ,u might have a ray of hope that JB is on the way much earlier than stated !! it will be a tough few days which will prove whether sony really cares about its customers but till then letz live on the hope of getting JB earlier !! Hope u find dis post informative and somewat useful !!:angel:
