if you compare the nutritional information of gingerbread vs ice cream sandwiches, I think you will find your answer.
[citation][nom]thomaseron[/nom]These phones will get ICS in europe very soon, so theywill probably get ICS in the states as well. [/citation]
Im sure AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile will get right on that..
[citation][nom]thomaseron[/nom]Why not update directly from Sony's website?Is that not possible in USA?Just asking, 'cause I don't live there...[/citation]
Carriers don't release updates until they have vetted them - which takes months typically
In the US we do not have unlocked handsets, we only can use what the carriers allow and they like to control everything about them. In the end....we are paying for them to "let" us use their network (our country is horribly pro business and not pro consumer)
