Lucky for some I can't afford a new device every year so this is great news for me, at least it is definitely coming to the Arc. Can't complain

Such a sad news..

It does say all the Xperia 2011 handsets will be updated by march so it could be sooner for some devices/countries etc

that's fine. as long as it isn't buggy and they fix the camera compression.

they dnt need to "fix" the camera compresion cause that is not an error, i like it, is a good compression, same quality as the iphone 4s photos but but in a really light weight

They need to give users a choice of compression/quality settings. Just because youre happy with the current quality doesnt mean everyone else is.

You've missed a key point in the wording "BY"
that means that ALL XPERIA phones well get it BY march.
Sooooo Arc may get before then. And other handsets like Ray, Pro AND Active may get during march.
Just my interpretation.

March would fall in line with the new 2012 range hitting the market, the arc HD or whatever it will be called will most likely be announced at CES in January, and out in March, assuming that runs ICS, then they'll roll out the same version to the 2011 range around the same time.

Someone said in Samsung Galaxy S2 thread that Ica Cream coming to S2 in Q2 2012.. So by March for Xperia is not bad

Remember after SE finishes their work it takes another 1-3 months for the carrier to brand/bloat it and release to end users.

Are you serious, mate? The Arc produces some really mediocre photos. And the video recording is average at best, too. There has to be a compression fix, but Sony just don't seem to be interested in it.

!! 4 New Pictures added!! Leaked Nozomi Picture! Is this Sonys New ICS\GB UI?

This is leaked picture of the sony ericsson nozomi, wich will (if we belive the rumors) ship with ICS. So this could be how our ICS uptade will look like...

Let's hope not, that looks like a step down from SE's current UI

i think the dockbar looks nice but the wallpaper is ugly. The statusbar is not so good t see....

Isn't that bad, though its horrible compared to Vanilla...

I think it's gingerbread, the folders look the same as sony's current 2.3.X and the notification hasn't changed, they would take everything good away from ICS so yeah... gingerbread

The current ui is for the "xperia" range. The nozomi will be the first phone released under the Sony brand. No doubt sony intend to set themselves apart from the SE brand with there own ui.

But at the top of the phone is still sony ericsson and its real name will be xperia arc hd.... That does not sound like a new brand for me...

I doubt that. This will be a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc HD or Nozomi. Sony Ericsson phones will still be coming out until mid-2012, that's when the first Sony branded phones will be released. This will likely be the Sony Ericsson ICS interface
Source 1 Source 2 Source 3
P.S. I really like the leaked shots of this phone so far. This may be my 2012 replacement phone if it looks anything like these shots...

I can tell you from experience.the phone is slick. Solid build quality. Very good looking and fast as u know what. I'll see if I can get more hands on time with it. Was only able to play with it for 10 minutes a couple weeks ago. The battery cover and full back has almost a felt or suede feel to it. It was running GB 2.3.5 if I remember correctly.

[POLL] What Made You to Buy / Pre Order / Like Xperia Z?

Just like the title- what made you to like XZ and buy or pre order the phone?
For me, I just liked everything of Xperia Z. but waiting for price drop!
Please tick your reason in above poll. You can select multiple choices!

I desperately need an upgrade as my arc s is to slow for my usage, my contract was expired in august but didn't like any phone at the moment enough to upgrade. I was tempted by the one x+ but I like the looks better of the xperia z and it is more up to date. I think any 2012-2013 high end phone would be good enough for me so I have the luxury of just taking the one I like. When the One was presented I was thinking of switching but that phone just isn't for me.
love your city and country btw

Design & Build quality
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

I like Shiny things

Best looking handset i have ever seen simple.

i bought the xperia z, because i had a pretty good experience with the xperia arc s. I also like sony's ui, i think it's much better than touch wiz.

i love design, build quality, performance, sony ui ...amazing phone!!!!

Well everything, but the Design & build quality gave it the edge over the competition.

Fancied a change from Samsung and HTC, the more I see the XZ it makes me think how beautiful it is!
Really Sony have put out all the stops this year, I think it's the best looking Android phone and I want a premium handset that not only looks the part, takes decent pictures/videos too!

Design. I like subtle design with tiny elegant details; like a black Mercedes. HTC One is on the other end of the scale. It's a white Toyota Prius with a boomblaster on its roof.

Not really,
Single core - Dual core
420 mb internal - 8 gb internal
4.0.4 - pretty sure 4.1
But camera and display are almost same, so we can maybe port status-bar, system-ui, things like this...

framework thing and some aps yes but it will be difrent chiipset so we cant use a lot of thing from it but we can use a lot of thing form xperia s

We can definitely take apps from this phone if they don't have XHDPI and XXHDPI drawables in them. The XZ apps are so big because of the bigger resolution images. Hopefully Sony won't also tone down the UI to make it like a low-end phone.

awesome and the thing is the headphone jack not cover but yet its waterproof that some next generation stuff sony!!

z1 has open jack, so nothing new. To be honest this is pointless, so they add more ram, bigger battery and a useless camera. What is the point of that if they cant even provide a good working camera for other phones. Each update make the camera worser. Phone companies dont know what else to do, so they bump up the speeds and so on, think its best thing ever.

The new UI, new function such as Time Shift Video 4K and more on 4.4(XZ2) will port to XZ

never knew the z1 had it first i had the xperia z and it had a flap on it so thats news to me

Released globally in March.... but I guess globally doesn't include the US. We'll probably get Z2s in like august or something. This sucks though, hoping it comes to the US soon and with tmobile again.
I skipped in the Z1 because it's not that big of an upgrade. What I also like about Z2 is that FINALLY, another company decides to put dual speakers on the front of the phone for audio. Here's hoping the camera is a lot better, preferably in low light conditions.

Z2 looks awesome and promising. SONY is on the right track.

Just a ping pong tool.
5.2.. If i want a big screen i will buy a tablet not a phone. Unfortunately z1 compact is like a cheap china phone without black glass cover.
