here you go
yes you can . but the update is end off may/ begin june 2012
you need a pc and offical sony pc software from there web site
to update the the phone to ics 4.0
please bear in mind the update will wipe your root off
so if you downgrade back to 2.3.4 you have to root again

No, you don't have to unroot, but bootloader has to be locked.

If you have rooted .58, make update directly from your phone via 3G or WiFi to .62. Make sure bootloader is locked.

Here's an excellent tutorial.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559685
I had to install the generic .58 version from that tutorial in order to get the OTA update tho.
Good luck.

I assume you have usb debugging mode on..
And have your phone unlocked so you see the homescreen and wait for "Watch now your device. Select the backup named RootMe and restore it!"
After you have done that it should be good to go..

I just read that some people say that they don't like the jellybean update !
And that it is more laggy compared to the ICS rom

Lock the bootloader, update to 290 and root again. Use your eyes and read. It's new year so don't expect any quality stuff from me.
