righty first of i want to know if if i flash my Sony xperia u with the french ics by doing it the offical way how would i go about doing as i don't wanna brick my phone and would i still in term get official updates from sony themselfs
secondly should i just wait for ics to become available in my country which could take along time seeing as before i had an xperia ray and that took a long time to come but yet as i've been reading the xperia rays are still waiting for it
thirdly do unlocked xperia u's get the updates alot faster as they dont require any network approvales
Wait/Not wait your wish, ICS is more or less same anyways
Yes carrier contracted smartphones take much more time to get updates.
thing is arnab whatever happens i don't wanna root my phone but want the official update and as for network my u came unlocked with no network bloatware as i originally got it on a contract from phones 4u
from my experiance with samsung phones which i have had in the past such as the galaxy 1 if you flash any roms yourself you dont get any further support. i am in the same boat as you with the same SI no from fones 4 u.
glad i got it unbranded though especially with so little space on it anyhow ... bloat ware sucks!!
so my guessing is for uk owners it could be a very long wait till we get ics
get a pillow and duvet and get comfy for the wait 
you know i think i will and while i'm at it i may as well claim under a rock and check in the year 2020 to see if ics is finally on my u
the rock will probably have weathered to a pebble first
