Reddit mentions of SONY ERICSSON SONY XPERIA PRO MK16i

Buying from the US, I would seriously advise against, the only phone that ever made sense to import from the US was the Nexus One, since you could only really buy it there.

Something like the Captivate Glide you will not find in the EU, unless you import it(or count the Milestone2) - but AT&T doesn't feature the same 3G bands as most european carriers, so even if you import it, and unlock it, you will probably only get 2G.

From the available qwerty phones in europe I could only really recommend the Xperia Pro amazon de amazon uk - they cost about the same right now on both sites, whichever one you prefer.

The Xperia Pro is the only european qwerty that was promised an ICS upgrade, so going by your requirement of ICS, this is the only one you could pick. And it is neither new nor especially impressive.

If you really want the glide, find yourself a willing ebay seller, and make sure it is unlocked, but be prepared to not have any 3G in the UK.
