Even Markus said that ONLY those two phones will be disqualified to upgrade to JB even IF IT is APPROVED, and the rest of them, including Live With Walkman, might get the upgrade. Since other phones is released LATER than them.

I find the same point on Xperia 2010, the X8 is an earlier phone than that of X10

If they deny jb on their 2011 flagship, mostlikely all 2011 models would not get it

Xperia Neo V was launched in October 2011, if we count from october 2011 to July 2012 its only 10 months from the launched date. Its hasn't completed one year and it is left with a buggy ICS noticably Phone Dailer and Video Recording.

Yesterday i had function at my house and i needed to make lots of calls, Dailer was very unresponsive when it was needed to make the calls, i have to use another phone for calling yesterday and sometimes it does not respond while trying to recieve a call.

Dont say that SONY has warned us for ICS. This doesn't mean we must not get hands on the new features of Android, its thier chance to improve by providing Jelly Bean, which is now popular for its butterly smooth. (or) Atleast provide us a stable ICS Which most users are expecting... Phone is for Calling, it must usable when it is needed, i was very disoppointed and had to use a black and white handset for calling which was very responsive.

And this is not for only Xperia Neo V and it may be applicable for all 2011 xperias which recently got updated to a buggy ICS.

Some would here suggest for rooting your phone and go for custom roms like CM10 which may come in near future. But i dont want to do this for my new phone which i bought for my Hard Earned Money.

We'll have to wait and see, as on the official Blog says that it was a mistake, we want JB for all Xperias

Yes, Hopefully all of the Xperia 2011 will get their upgrade on JB. Howerver, it is not certain about it. If they provide JB for Xperia 2011 phones, I would have said that Sony is the best mobile phone company in the world !

Hope that it also includes Xperia Play, which was abandoned by them on the ICS updates

I just hope that when the JB is released, it doesn't look almost similar to ICS or JB.

Take a look here:

The gingerbread: Look at the menu bar and app bars.

Ice cream Sandwich: The bar has beeen lowered but its the same UI.

Some Xperias their app drawers are different, but on 2011s its almost the same.

I'm expecting Jelly Bean to look the same
