Now this certainly would be a surprise as there’s been no official communication as to which Xperia update we’ll see next. Checking the PTCRB site shows that new Xperia arc firmware (4.0.2.A.0.42) was certified as recently as 7 October. This could be Android 2.3.5 firmware or updated Android 2.3.4 firmware that has yet to be released in most regions outside of the Nordics.
Thinking about it, Sony Ericsson has already said this v2.3.4 update won’t be released until the end of October/early November for the rest of the world. Could it be that Sony Ericsson are just moving straight to Android 2.3.5 instead? It’s all speculation for now, but we’ll come back to you when we have something concrete.
