The first prominent thing to lookout in this phone is the absense of "Ericsson". This phone is announced with Sony branding, following Sony's buyout of Ericsson.
Sony Xperia Ion features a 4.6-inch 720p display running on 1.5 GHz dual core Qualcomm processor, 12 MP camera built with Exmor R sensor, having the functionality to click stills in 1.5 seconds, 1.3 MP front-facing camera with 720p video recording and 16 GB onboard storage.
Unfortunately, this phone runs on Gingerbread and one can expect the Ice Cream Sandwich update later after the launch.

Just a few days back we saw how Sony Ericsson explained to us the long procedure that takes place before an OS upgrade is released and now the company is has released an Alpha ROM of Ice Cream Sandwich for selected devices. If you are a developer and own an unlocked Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, Xperia neo V or Xperia Ray then SE has released an Alpha ROM of Ice Cream sandwich for you to try and develop your apps.
Most of the normal services are not operational in this ROM, so it is not for day-to-day use. But if you want to install it over any of the above mentioned device, then you'll need to run the latest update i.e. 4.0.2.A.0.42 and also unlock the bootloader. You may also face some problems when you upgrade to the official ROM of ICS whenever it is released. So be careful before trying it out.

A new Xperia handset by Sony has been leaked with specs and a couple of shots. The picture of the device shows that the handset will have a curved back with a round bump on the bottom, quite a new design factor, we must say. The front of the device reminds us of the original Arc with long chrome buttons.
Also the branding has now been changed to Sony, so probably we will be seeing the handset by next year.

After sharing a sad new about the Samsung bada 2.0 not reaching to all Samsung Wave devices, we have great news for Sony Ericsson Xperia owners. Many sources have pointed out the Android's latest 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update will reach select Sony Ericsson Xperia devices as early as January 2012. This comes into light as a Sony Ericsson employee has tweeted that the ICS update may reach all Xperia devices in the very first week of January 2012 itself.
But this contradicts with a previous statement form SE Italia on its Facebook page which stated that the update will only reach by March 2012. We also know that the ICS firmware for Xperia Arc and Neo has already been submitted for approval and if this happens soon, then the predictive January 2012 release is certain.
