Why is Sony announcing an update before rolling it out?

a.png

This is the software update page of Xperia mini pro saying that, "New software is available for your Xperia™ smartphone"

indicating rollout of ICS update

The same is indicated in all the Global websites of Sony mobile (Xperia mini pro software update page)

While this thread shows that the SI numbers eligible for ICS update will be uploaded "SOON", indicating that ICS update is not rolled out yet.

This is clearly AMBIGUOUS information provided by Sony.

am·big·u·ous

Adjective:
  1. (of language) Open to more than one interpretation; having a double meaning.
  2. Unclear or inexact because a choice between alternatives has not been made.

Synonyms:equivocal - vague - uncertain - doubtful - obscure

The thread was posted on 29th May 2012 and since there are 90000+ views.

This a clear statistics showing how people globally are desperate for the update.

Rolling out the update ASAP would be APPRECIATED.

Thanking SONY,

A faithful costumer

As on 3 June 2012,

One of the superuser commented on a thread similar to this on saying that,

If you find your SI in the released software table the software for your device is released and available in PC Companion and Bridge for Mac where you can update your Xperia™ Smartphone.

We will continue to add items in the list as soon as they are released.

We will however not be able to answer on questions like: "When will SI number XXXX-XXXX be added to this list?" or "when will country X get the update?"

Since SONY cannot tell "When will SI number xxxx-xxxx be added to the list?"


They can surely aswer this question,

"When will Sony mobile create a released software update table?"

As on 5 June 2012,

Sony mobile crosses a milestone

100000+ views for the thread " Xperia mini pro, SI numbers for ICS update" even before the update is rolled out.

Congratulations!!!

FINALLY ICS is here!

I hope this is high class trolling from Sony.

I know that we should be patient, but at least don't lie to your customers - if the update will be avaliable in September, say Semptember (not soon)...

I agree to raja22223 ! Sony please tell us what is happening Thinking_Face

I can wait for the update however Sony should atleast release the info about the SI numbers when they are ready to release the update. The post was made on Tuesday and still has not been updated even after more than 75000 views

Просто мини не виден на фоне флагманских моделей. Да и "Сони" это не "Сони -Эрикссон". Такой большой корпорации на столь малый сегмент рынка просто начхать. IMHO.

Sony will release ICS for Xperia mini/pro in 10 years with Diablo IV

Not applicable

The ICS update for the mdpi devices is almost here.

LWW page has been updated with the picture of the SI number location. It will be here really soon I hope.

Mini Pro might get the update last, due to its physical keyboard but.

Thanks,
