When's the XPeria Arc (LT15i) on Orange UK getting ICS ? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When's the XPeria Arc (LT15i) on Orange UK getting ICS ?
I think it's coming, from talking to Orange and reading the SonyMobile forum posts, but does anyone know when ? Orange are characteristically tight-lipped on the subject.

It's not what you want to hear, but why don't you just flash the stock Sony ICS ftf file?
There won't be any orange bloatware slowing the phone down even more. (Trust me, it needs it on ICS...)

[Q] Xperia Sola Full-Save before Update to ICS?

Hi there;
I´ve purchased a Xperia Sola, it shall be a Christmas Gift
Want to do some customs and install some messenger apps, so its ready out of the box.
Now i´m unsure about saving the current Android (2.3.7) it should be possible to get back to this in case of errors/dislikes with ICS (read about some error bugs with Sola and ICS).
Whats the best way on complete stock Sola to do this, or is it even necessary?
On Htc i just unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM (unofficial way).
As far as i read through some threads here, until now the only way to unlock xperias is an official way (warranty issues?)
As long as i don´t know if the gifted person feels comfortable with the phone I don´t want to do things on the firmware that can´t be undone...
So is their any way to backup the whole rom without unlocking, or is it possible to undo unlocking/rooting in case of?
Sry for my english and some newb question but i want to be sure about this.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Wrong forum, some mod can maybe move?
