How long does it usually take between the certification process and actual release to handsets? My carrier has no own bloatware installed, so I am hoping that it won't delay the update.
From what I've experienced till now, approximately 2 weeks, give or take few days; however this is valid for unbranded version, carrier ones might take longer. Trimis de pe al meu D5503 folosind Tapatalk
As long as the PTCRB advertised firmware version actually makes it for release; it happened couple of times that in 2 weeks after certification, Sony to issue another version for certification and the process to start again; I would not hold my breath on PTCRB, I would check the XPERIA Updatechecker by Macmol, if it is released there (even for other countries) then definitely would hit your own as well.
