I read that Sony official blog, they start releasing android 4.0.4 ICS updates for Sony xperia U. When i check for the updates, i can't see there's new a version. So it will takes few months? Anyone who manage to install new updates? If you have installed, how do i install ICS on my phone?

Thanks!

Yes, now St25i and ST25a updates are online. Sometimes they you will receive update notification one or two months later or sometime next week. If you need to update it right now use this method.

First install flashtool and flash the ST25a firmware using that application. Flashtool in here.
Download this firmware in here
Copy downloaded ftf file to the flashtool firmware folder.
Run the flashtool.
Power off and press and hold volume down key and connect the phone to the PC.
When flashtool display device connected release the keys.
In flashtool click thunder icon>Click "OK" now select the correct firmware package again click OK

Are there any reports of how ICS 4.0.4 performs on U compared to my original 2.3.7, which beats my tablet on 4.0.3 by a mile particularly web browsing and email which drag so slow?

I updated mine via Sony's PC companion. It's a quick and painless procedure. Unlike some others, I've not noticed any more lag than when on Gingerbread.
