Try in the right forum, Xperia Arc Android Development.
NOPE. It looks it isn't true:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/09/08/sony-ericsson-no-decision-has-been-made-to-bring-ice-cream-sandwich-to-xperia-devices/
So it's become ambiguous then?
Pretty sure they will update the new arcS or whatever it is called the same as are Arc's but with the new 1.4ghz chip. That being the only change on paper. I don't think it would be to hard to make it working on are Arc's.
If they don't update LT15i or the new arcS is going look rather bad, especially after the commotion with the xperia x10.

I don't want to have 50MB free RAM after upgrade.

That's what I don't understand about se? Don't they think out of the box? Why so little memory? I said this before! I got an android phone for apps and with little memory plus all the new version of android coming out they should have been thinking! But if they didn't want you to buy a new phone they would have put more memory, it's all about the money

if we can't update our phone can undo and denigrate the f**ckin SE instead ;
I'm happy with custom roms, cuz everything works fine. We don't need SE to update it
X8 is excellent phone.
And, to substantiate my statement as soon as our devs crack bootloader and fully working Gingerbread is made this phone will get even better. Worth waitng.
Times are tough and a lot of us just can't affort better phone.
P.S.: @as-mario you're troller... read twice before you post... think before you blink!
I have already sent several messages to SE Brazil and the answer is always the same:
"The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 will not be updated because it does not meet the requisites of Android 2.3" - or nearly so, but always the same direction of response -> A short NO!
Perhaps with support from Google the story will change, because only the X10 received the upgrade to 2.3 from Sony Ericsson and many users still use their custom ROMS ...

Yup . most 2.3 devices should have that upgrade . but will it be smooth for us non dual core phone. that the worry=) lets hope for the best
You'd imagine they would have to SOME forethought into what may be on the horizon when releasing the Arc when they did and when they knew ICS was coming out. Hopefully it will be out and work like a dream while fixing my 1% battery
Thought id start this thread to create a bit of build up to the upgrade, im a regular arc user so ive still got another month or so to wait but il feel good if the arc s gets theirs on time, which being the end of march could be any day now. Sony seem to be quiet on this, anyone heard anything?
I'm hoping they release the ICS for arc s by the end of this weekend, the suspense is killing me slowly lol. I check this forum and sony blog post every morning.
As they said late March to early April, that could mean the update would between 15 March and 15 April.
Would love to get an update from SE on the progress for the first phones that are due upgrades.
Clearly feeling a little bit left out now that Samsung are releasing theirs.
Hasn't HTC also updated a device?

Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
I'm very enthusiastic about ICS too but doesn't it mean that we won't have our devices rooted anymore? I've linked tons of apps via Link2SD and my Arc don't have enough space to hold them all.
I'm worried when we will have to upgrade to ICS, AFAIK a lot of apps out there is not yet compatible with ICS, until the developer will upgrade the app.
But I'm also Excited because lots of optimization and features will be available to us, specially that Adreno 205 Driver will be included(I read it somewhere)

I think otherwise. Almost every app I tried is fully compatible with ICS.
Also, Sony has announced the neo L in China and it launches with ICS on board. It uses the same chipset as the arc (MSM8255). Perhaps we could port it when someone gets and uploads the filesystem dump, that is, if the device comes out sooner than the ICS update.
There's nothing on PTCRB yet and updates usually appear on here well in advance of the update actually being pushed. So it could still be weeks away assuming they haven't had any serious issues they need to fix first. It's been 4 weeks since the beta and not a peep from the Sony devs here on XDA which is a shame.

By XDA sure, by sony no. I doubt they will release another major update after this. Look at the X10, got gingerbread update and that was it.
