  3. I am getting 4.0.3 upgrade notification from couple of weeks for my Neo V via PC companion software but still no upgrade notification for 4.0.4. I am not upgrading my phone to 4.0.3 due to negative reviews by users who have already upgraded. Waiting for 4.0.4 🙂

    There is a reminder suggesting for an update (4.1.B.0.431) every time I connect the phone to PC . 
    Is the new ICS worth updating??
