Neo V already comes with Android 2.3.4, with all the features aforementioned. I’m not sure if Neo V qualifies for an update…I think SE should be looking towards rolling out ICS….than 2.3.4
What about the Xperia X10? will it get the upgrade as well?
Not just for nordic countries my xperia play got updated to 2.3.4 2 days ago, im in the UK
