is it only for me, but did you notice that new message and missed calls notification only appears at status bar and on messages app, but don't in home screen when screen is locked. It was in 2.3, but it isn't in 4. I really miss it
--- Update ----
Also, I read in Android website, that in ICS there has to be "Quick responses for incoming calls" feature, but I can't find it there. Can I enable it somewhere?
----------
<<<< This feature exist, it is so small that I missed it. Anyone know where I can edit messages?
On other hand, I really like multitasking overview feature, which is enabled by long tap home button. Now I can remove from list just by drag to side, without going to application manager and stopping process.
Also there are more widgets installed by default, but hate widget pick screen, which is huge and uncomfortable. It your list is big, then it is real pain to find widget you want
More updates later
Any major or annoying bugs so far? Is everything working normally in ICS?
If you see the threads in Sony mobile forums you will realize that every thread and every post starts or consists words like "please help" "problem" "cannot do this or that" "bugs" and so on. So it's definitely not a stable version of ICS. Too many bugs, major bugs! It's not worth it to have so many bugs just for bit nicer UI and new task manager!!!
Actually I use it for 3 days now and I haven't seen any bugs or lags so far. It is working really fast, at least as fast as ginger. Also, today I noticed that walkman media buttons are additionally on lock screen while music is on. Buttons are small so it is hard to touch them accidentaly, but if you need you can. It is really nice feature.
Overall: Everyday I find something new and nice in ICS and don't regret about upgrading. Some options from ginger can't find, but maybe they are just hidden somewhere. I recommend everyone to upgrade now

What would you say about taking a screenshot, is it working? Video recording (skipping frames)? Dial pad is loading slowly (most of the time). And I was wondering why the interface is absolutely the same as Gingerbread? Almost no changes except the style of the buttons. I was hoping that the main menu will be divided on two sections Apps/Widgets as it is in all other ICS phones!
Is the update up internationally or only selected countries and carriers support the update
A lot of people are facing a lot of bugs with the new camera. It's laggy and image quality is poorer. When recording a video it is skipping frames. Do you have any of these problems in ICS?
