    I bought it in Germany in October. Soon after got notice to upgrade to 3.2 and did it fine. Market interface is better and rotatable… BUT:
    WIFI connection is still far weaker than on any other device I have and drops every now and then! Just unbearably annoying!
    I did not get the notification for Android 3.2. release 2 update (was it supposed to be a second upgrade?)
    Other major issue: External SD card not supported by Sony applications (except “file transfer”), while it is supported by most 3rd party applications (but then you loose DLNA)…
    Please help!!!
