I just dont get it. Android 4.0 was released last fall and they are still releasing phones with Android 2.3. Smdh! You have Google about to release their next tablet with 4.1, yet we still releasing phones with an older version of android.

Because is a stupid commercial, makes no sense. If you didn't know better, probably better fitted for a video game.

It's such a shame that the Ion just falls short on specs. I just came from the AT&T store and was "testing" the phone out.
The pros:
Amazing external device, phone feels like quality materials are used (brushed aluminum looks great!)
Brilliant display
That dedicated camera key makes it a cinch to take pictures
The Cons:
Gingerbread...I mean really?!
The ear piece volume is terribly low and unclear
Navigation buttons on screen are impossible to see at night (small thin bar lights up under the icons (back, menu, etc...)
With just a few tweaks the phone would definitely be a contender, but considering you can get it as low as $50 on contract, might make it appealing to the non-hardcore android users.

a dated phone with a dated operating system with a great build quality. Feel sorry for SONY. A great FLOP.

Now that's a awesome commerical. Tried to get mine today but says that my upgrade won't be available till AUGUST I don't mind waiting for another two months. I'll just buy the dock first and then the phone and plug in my PS3 controller

erm.. what's wrong with GB? it's not as if it won't work, adn it will get updated to ICS.. 2.3 is still better than iOS 6, so why the hate?

I personally don't care about which version of Android it has as long as I have Adobe Flash support. My big thing about this commercial for the US is that if you pause the video right when the guy plugs it into the smart dock, you see that it's a unlocked Ion which Sony says idn't available in the US.
