I downgraded to this phone as I was sick to the teeth with virtual keyboards. I find hardware keyboards much easier to type with. If you have large hands, the keyboard on this phone may not be ideal for you however. The phone is very small and light, you forget it's in your pocket. A nice change from the huge display phones I've had until now. Hardware specs: Android OS v1.6, upgradable to v2.1 Chipset - Qualcomm MSM7227 CPU 600 MHz ARM 11 GPU Adreno 200 256MB RAM 128MB Internal storage, expandable via MicroSD As you can see, the specs of the phone aren't great compared to what's on the market at the moment, but if all you're looking for is a phone for calls, texts, web browsing, internet, GPS navigation, it's pretty damn good. It will struggle with memory hungry apps and games, so if that's your thing, avoid this handset. The battery life is pretty poor with the BST-38 900mah standard battery. Get yourself a GOLD 2680MAH battery from ebay for a tenner and enjoy over double the battery life. The included Android OS is pretty basic. One widget per screen is just silly. Get yourself over to the XDA forums and get yourself a better rom installed on the phone (I'd recommend MiniCM7 v2.2.1). The phone OS runs smoother and looks much nicer. The new rom may also allow you to overclock the phone's processor. Mine's now running at a comfortable 750MHz, and runs those bigger apps and games a little better.Read full review
- Why I bought it? We are all Sony Xperia fans at home .Good value and got it for my 13 year old son to take to school and not worth it to get him a new phone.He insisted on a small phone with keyboard this would make a great addition. I also have ARC S and the X10 XPERIA MINI which he likes but no keyboard and battery life poor and battery non-replaceable,while the PRO has good battery life and is replaceable. - What I like most about it? Keyboard,compact ,light,features and must be the best compact android touchphone,good wifi range ,sound ,Great practical second phone. - What I dislike about it? 1.Vibration stopped working .I dont know if its because my son dropped it ,but only notice it after he dropped it!Didnt use vibration before!Did soft and hard resets and even flashed with same firmware ,but still no good.Maybe it was when he dropped it! 2.The fact that you cant upgrade it to later android versions. 3.Virtual keyboard keys are very small for big fingers,but then you the keyboard.~ 3.The fact that you cant change the blue menu. - Whether or not I would buy the product again? YES ,definitely.especially to find out if vibration works ,heheheRead full review
I bought the phone a few weeks ago and I really like its small size and that it has WiFi. Being Android, lot of software is available for it. I am not using it as a PC substitute, I will not surf the web on it, so the small screen size does not bother me. In fact, I bought it because of its size. I don't like PC Companion that Sony offers to update software on it. It simply does not work. Took me some time to discover that Sony has a different software upgrade service as well that does work. I also don't like that it does not sync with Outlook. Again, took me some time to discover how to do that with software you need to buy.
Great little phone with everything I need. Good Camera, easy to use, I like the choice of keyboards and all round this is the one for me. BAD POINT is the Battery Life- what a stinker. definitely needs upgrading.
Hello Well, this phone looks like very nice, its comfortable. Easy to use and i can write texts very fast. But.... i don't know why i have a lot of bugs, example the lights of the QWERTY mini-keyboard its not correct, just the half area on light (so i cant see the letters in dark places). The most annoying thing, when i call somebody and sometimes the phone automaticly switch off the microphone so the person who i call cant hear me. It is really really annoying (ofcourse i not touch that icon on the corner with my face or ear to switch off microphone) coz i tried it many times why and how do it. The second thing, is just strange: When i plugged in to a power outlet the phone (if it switch on) start go crazy and it try open every applications even if the keyboard-lock system on. But if i plug in to the CPU (for charging) this problem is nowhere. Sometimes the system break down/frozen so reboot. RobertRead full review
