Great news, it might be 2-3 weeks before its released, based on past experiences

Maybe its 4.3 🙂

[Uliwooly]

it could be, we'll have to wait and see

Probably it will be 4.2 , but I hope and I'm praying for 4.3

Oh, and a question I have.

It says that the availability through Wireless depends on the country. Is this means that it is better to check through SUS (via USB) with an Ethernet cable, or I understood it wrong ? I mean, is there a possibility the update to be unavailable through Wireless, but available through Ethernet (and SUS) ?

Some updates aren't available via OTA. In my country (Italy) the first update was released via OTA, the last one not.

Anyway I suggest you to use Sony PC Companion to perform firmware updates

but in india all updates are available via OTA , but for next update i cant say anything

>>minio - Good research!

 Hopefully we will get rid of the most serious bugs with this new firmware.

4.2 or 4.3 would be nice as well but is less important in my opinion.

FYI:

List of actual versions (2 months ago) for various Regions and more important instructions how to check for latest:

Example to check for Nordic Region:

This URL is used by  PC Companion and Update Service I guess.

I hope that with the new firm the bug of the leak memory will be solved.

Good!!! This was long awaited. Maybe it is android 4.3 there's actually no point upgrading to 4.2 after keeping customers waited by skipping 4.2 update in past, also there are very minor differences between 'em. Still hoping...
