New software update for Xperia Play

[#1]

Could Sony Ericsson provide a detailed list when this will be available for different carrier/region?

I am on an unbranded phone from Vodafone and it isn't locked to the carrier but I seem to be running the generic R800i .145 firmware.

I would have thought this would have been the first model to receive the updates.

I'm running the same firmware on an unlocked/unbranded R800a, and I haven't had the update pop up yet either.

Surely the changelog is bigger? The one you posted is the only one I can find as well. Anyone at SE care to comment?

I'm sure they did some further tweaking under the hood...

The carrier that I got my phone from (vodafone nz) said to me:

Vodafone New Zealand : This will be available in about a months time. ^ML

in reply to me asking when the recent update will be available...

However my device is not locked to the carrier so does tht mean everyone with Worldwide firmware will be waiting a month as well? Or can they release it regionally?

Maybe this will be bundled with the 2.3.4 update?
