Sony Xperia V Jelly Bean update starts rolling out in select markets

After the Xperia T, Sony has started rolling out Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for the Xperia V, starting with select markets like Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany and Switzerland. That’s at least the initial list though as far as we (don’t) know, users in other countries could also be getting their goodies, as well.

The new software, version 9.1.A.0.490, brings standard Jelly Bean goodies like Project Butter enhancements, Google Now and improved push notifications. In addition, there are Sony’s own tweaks that update some of the existing apps while making sure the phone is snappier than ever. We don’t have the change log but if your Xperia V got the new software, make sure to let us know how it feels after the update…

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    I’m in Norway and not seeing the update yet. Hopefully soon, though.
    And I’m on an asian version of the phone, that might be a cause? (got it on eBay)

    I haven’t got the update either. I have a phone bought in Norway, with a Telenor subscription. I got some problems with the wifi that I hope could be solved by the upgrade, so I’m waiting …
