im planning to buy mini pro sk17i or defy+ but was wondering whether i should go for them or wait for the ice cream sandwich phones to get released seeing that sony, especially has a bad track record when it comes to providing os updates...
they should receive at least receive the first update. and ICS based mobiles won't be released for around 2-3 months after ICS is announced i.e. Q1 2012.
anyway most will go for custom roms as they are better tuned for performance than stock ROM.
