2013!? Seroiusly sony jelly bean ????
Android 5.xx will be the trend when that device releases.
Typical Sony style....

How can they get 5.xx if they don't have the source code ?
Typical ignorant people...

Sony just isnt keeping up with trends...4.1.1?
4.2.2 is gonna be out on a month and 5.0 early next year!
Even if sony goes with s4 quad processor there'll be exynos 5 and omap5 so even hardware-wise they aint cutting it!
I like sony i really do...but they keep disappointing a lot!
Most of their handsets this year were based on Snapdragon S3!

Actually, Sony has one of the best track records when it comes to updating phones / tablets, including older devices, quicker than most other manufacturers.

Hail the odin!
Never had before but I like Sony's offerings... and also they are prices competitively here.
One thing I don't wanna see.... don't name this handset something like b,v,c,x or anything. Keep it odin. ODIN RULES!!

Odin is the name of the software used for flashing firmwares..
Right?

They've released 4 flagship phones for the past 2 years, means they've been releasing flagship every 6 months, if I can remember correctly it is part of their "One SONY" strategy of some sort.

Look at Motorola. They seem to pop out another version of the Razr every few months.

Well no one can keep up with Android, unless you'r a Techy or love phones, or you'r on good salary. Unlike a company making 1 phone every 2 years, with the same design and nothing new. Even myself would love to keep up with tech, but can't.....

yeah whatever sir statetheobvious-a-lot. what i want is jelly bean update for xperia p and other phones. 2013 phones will obviously have to be jellybean if sony wants to compete in the market. if you ask me they should skip ics for phones that donot have it yet and give them jellybean.

Yet another flagship from Sony which is likely going to pack a sexy design, awesome TimeScape UI, average hardware specs compared to rivals' flagships and a dumb name like T/TX/TL/GX. Hah!
14. SonyXperiaNexus posted on 08 Oct 2012, 10:29 2 1
Dude have you seen Xperia TL specs? I think sony has proved that their phones have specs way above average. Still I think there should be a method to the way they name their phones. Maybe there is and we just dont know yet(I hope).

Which part of "average specs compared to other flagships" didn't you get?

I think the naming based from their naming of their BRAVIA's, VAIO's, and Cybershot digicams. All those are named with letters.

they are just starting to release their flagship the xperia T/ TL/TX and now this news! when report that samsung s4 will be coming out early next year samsung quickly disclaimed the report for fear peple will wait for the s4 rather than buy the s3 now. wonder what sony will do.

I'm 99% sure that I'm going to go with Sony for my next device.

the blue live wall paper they have on the current xperias should now be THUNDER YELLOW! lol

How many flagships in a year ? What are they thinking ?
Xperia S, SL, Ion, T, Acro S, Acro HD ? Tell me in real, which one is real flagship ?
37. xtian1103 posted on 09 Oct 2012, 01:52 0 0
the way sony releases their phones is that they put a more stable os first then update it later after release. xperia s came with 2.3.7 in january then later updated with 4.0.4(you know that 4.0.4 is the most stable ics right?) so relaesing a new phone with jellybean is the right thing to do as 5.1.1 and 5.2 would still be a beta

my mistake, i meant to write 4.x.x or jellybean instead
