ICS is rolling out

I'm in the UK - bought the phone last week and downloaded PCC. Tells me 2.3.7 is latest software. The question is this
My SI number is 1257-0985. On Sony's site, I've found a list and it goes 0980, 0986, 0987, 0989 etc...
There are obvious gaps and the list appears to be in sequence. Does anybody know what these gaps mean, should I be worried that my number isn't listed at all???

Interesting, I'm on Swiss as well. I did wipe though, following the xda rooting instructions for locked bootloaders. What ROM are you on now, and does it perform better?

I'm back on uk generic .75, I made a back up ftf before I flashed ics.

For me I've found that gb is a lot less laggy, better battery life once you uninstall the crappy power save app. I haven't rooted yet, I keep getting the urge to unlock my bootloader though :p think I'll do that when a stable ics is out.

You updated via PCC? Did you lose root?

I wasn't rooted to begin with so no root to lose, I've been waiting to see if a simpler method of rooting came out with ics before I rooted, but now seeing as the rooting methods for locked bootloaders all require you to start on gb and flash with flashtool a few times I may just unlock my bootloader and use a custom kernel :)

Tbh though when I bought this phone I really wanted a phone that I diddn't have to muck around with as I have had to do with most of my previous smart phones :rolleyes:
