Did you get the phone from O2 ? If so your stuck until they test it out for compatibility on their network.

If it's not from O2 and you don't get an O2 splash screen when you power it up then you should be able to get it as soon as it's released

Hi, 4.4.4 released today includes the following MAJOR improvements:

PS4 Remote Play with full DualShock 4 controller compatibility

Told ya,

Hi-Res Audio support for PCM and DSD files, Sony DSEE HX tech in Walkman app that’ll improve the sound of MP3, AAC and Music Unlimited tracks
Xperia Camera apps like Sound Photo, AR Fun, Multi Camera and Face In
Newest version of Battery Stamina Mode as well as Ultra Stamina Mode, the latter of which will make a fully-charged Xperia Z2 last more than a week in standby
Quick Settings includes Smart Screen Rotation, Record Screen for recording a video of your display
Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet will unlock when near SmartBand, SmartBand Talk or SmartWatch 3 thanks to Bluetooth Unlock feature

This is a HUUUUUGGGGEEE update in terms of features and includes near enough everything the Xperia Z3 has.

Although the update has started today, sony rolls out in some strange orders and it has been hit and miss as to predicting when.
At best educated guess I would say UK networks will get it before UK generic as has been the trend, and I would expect O2 UK to start rolling in.......
Thinking.....
2-4 weeks.

Don't expect anything anytime soon - O2 don't know much about it.

They tweeted me this last night.

Possibly because you spoke to the social media team and they never hold information about firmwares until told by the software team

I update the rest of our Social Media team around software availability as & when I receive the info from our device teams. I've now updated them with details I've just received and i'll be sharing more info soon with everyone.

For now though, I can confirm we're working on getting the latest update to Z2 devices soon.

Is soon 3 months? 6 months?

Soon is rather ambiguous.

I'd go with 6 months then you shouldn't be too disappointed.

Trust me. It won't be soon

Actually, o2 are pretty good with xperia updates, sometimes beating uk generic.
I'd still be inclined to say within the month
