Xperia U, Sola had this coming because of their RAM and resolution combo. 512MB ram which is shared with Mali 400, just won't cut the frame buffer need of Project Butter. About Xperia Tipo, Miro... It's just Sony's marketing techniques.
I myself ordered Xperia U, yesterday despite reading the Sony's announcement. I just need a stable ICS. JB is not that far from ICS and there is always this route of Custom ROMs. Galaxy S Advance which has single core Mali 400 like Xperia U is getting JB. I guess developers will take advantage of those libs and will give a decent enough JB.

^ There is no problem in resolution, they have WVGA, which is standard for most phones

Its not the resolution. Xperia U's resolution FWGA resolution. GPU needs more RAM for the buffer to render frames at that resolution because of the Project Butter effect. U will be running out of because of it's low buffer memory.
But that doesn't mean that it is impossible. My old X10 mini pro runs JB custom rom acceptably. But the experience will not be fluid, IMO.

I bought Xperia U a month ago. and upgraded it to ICS... I find it too slow. There are times when the call manager or messages take almost 7-8 seconds to load. Dont have much new apps installed besides the default ones like FB, maps and other google service apps. I even tried the the task killers. Once the phone is restarted it starts slowing down after few hours. after a day of usage it gets so slow that have no choice but to restart it.
this might not be the right place to post this, but i see too many U users around here..any suggestions ??

gingerbread on xperia u is smoother than ics..heard it from many users..switch on gb temporary and wait for stable CM release..else try launchers which consume less ram memory like Nova...keep less home screens..not more than 2..don't keep widgets on them..when u switch on that screen on which widget of 3rd party is put, respective process starts to run in background consuming memory..uninstall bloatwares or pre-installed gapps which u not using..hope it works..

I updated my Xperia U to ICS today. It was jittery soon after the update. But after a factory reset, ICS is running far better than GB on this device. I think most of the users are ignoring the necessity of a factory reset.

ok. Il try the nova launcher. but how do I remove the built in xperia launcher?? cant remove the pre-installed G+, EA Games, G search, G recommendations, timescape, g talk, g+ messenger, facebook, chrome, etc apps.
also, facebook, maps, officesuite, whatsapp, email, etc keep running in the background all the time. stopping them doesn't help, they restart in seconds.

Last time I checked, which was just before a month ago, NO, it was NOT planned to be released officially in India. Now maybe Sony changed their mind, but I am unfortunately not updated with that news.
