i wanted to buy an Android phone.. should i go for micromax a85 or Sony Ericsson neo v?
For the phones your looking at you might as well settle with a Samsung nexus on your budget
Xperia x10(Feralabs Rom) After trying all roms it was my Fav.
Now on the RAZR.

Samsung nexus is way beyond reach as it is almost 40k back here in Indiawhile micromax a85 is approximately 13k and Sony Ericsson neo v is 14k...
Well, if you buy the Neo V you will be certain of having ICS on your mobile. The Micromax, however, does have a dual core processor. The Neo V brings you a better screen and battery life though, but the Micromax does have more in-built storage. I think it comes down to what you think is more important, and which design you like better. Here is a link to compare the two (if you didn't already know): http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4146&idPhone2=4122
I'd choose Sony Ericsson neo v because of ICS. Android 4.0 is much better then previous version of android.

For me hardware is more important. as software later can be upgraded.
I have Nokia X6 and due to lowend hardware phone lags alot. even Cpu Is undercloked further by nokia to save battery. ram just 128Mb out of which 90 Mb consumed by os itself.
Thats why for me hardware is more important.
As for batrry issue u can underclock u r phone to longer battery backup.
Indiedevers™-Micromax A85 are developing CM9 for A85 so within No time u will be able to have Ics On A85.

Hi
one of my friends want to buy Samsung Galaxy Ace... n ofcourse i recommended it, but the dealer she went to, recommended sony xperia neo V saying that there are alot of customer complaints for Ace.
I just wanted to ask, what are the known issues for ace?
i personally use Galaxy Mini and Galaxy S2 and on neither of my devices i had any issues (that were manufacturer related)
thanks!
Go for Ace. I have been using ace for about 8 months now and there are no complaints.
the only complain is the battery life but it can be redemed if u know how to save battery and with some apps
He should ask what are those complains about. I absolutely love my ace, he's still a baby with 1year old and never got sick.

If you ask this in the Xperia Forum, you'll get completely opposite answers ... Ya better check here ... and Let's be honest. Xperia Neo is way better than MY (cause I have one) lovely ACE. It has 1ghz Processor and can record at 720... But see it by yourself!
mm i dont know about others.but they are wrong go with SONY ERICSSON XPERIA NEO V
better specs dude wvga,secondary camera ,512 mb ram and 1ghz processer and best one it is planned upgrade to v4.0 awsome. but it will be costlier than ace.............
go with SONY ERICSSON XPERIA NEO V

RAM is a major issue with this phone. Go for Xperia Neo V!
lol ok the answers were all mixes xD yet thank u all for replying
i totally love samsung.. infact want to work for it one day
what i heard though was ace had some signal dropping issues, which ofcourse m sure can b fixed with some upgrade (its just tht those who are totally novice and want to use a smart phone, dont really knw how to and then complaint!)
having said tht, my friend is also a novice so i think xperia neo will b good option.. jus tht its battery life SUCKS!
abt battery optimization.. (i've a youtube channel xD http://youtube.com/EdenDroidChannel)
i definitely knw how to optimize battery hehe
thank u all!!

It has to be the Neo V. Sony Ericsson have already released a beta ICS build and it is guaranteed an upgrade early next year. The Neo V is superior in every way to the Ace. Official CM support and official ICS. Better processor, better screen, more RAM and the list goes on and on....

Go for ace .
As much as I'd wish every person in this planet to buy the same phone as me (the bigger the community, the better), I have to admit that the Ace can't compete with the Neo V.
go for ace!
dude go for neo v. its not coz ace is a bad performer. when it comes to android go for hardware. neo v is ll bit costly but obviously a better choice plus its getting ics.
Go for the Neo V , it's much better

Ok. I just saw the "xda noob" video, and i feel like i wanna kill my roommate now, but i will hold it until i finish writing this
I am in the market to buy a new phone, but i don't know jack about android devices other than ICS is the new "BIG" thing, so i wanna get a phone that has one.
So, based on your respective reviews, which one of those should i get:
1- Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY(i just love this device, i heard that you can install ICS on it, but it is not built-in. Is that for the better or worse??)
2- Samsung Galaxy W
3- Song Ericsson Xperia neo V
or any relatively cheap and decent phone, i just don't want a phone that i will have to worry about too much.
As you can see, my price range is not that heavy(can't afford Galaxy S II).
Please tell me whether any of those has super-doper problems or not
Now off to killing my roommate.
Me:"Oh Brad....."
bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd go for a samsung or htc device, to get the most of your ics device you would probably flash a custom rom and those two have large communities behind them, not to mention great hardware
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA
Don't know about Galaxy W, but both Xperias will get ICS soon (Neo V in 2 weeks, Play in 1 month). The hardware isn't the best (single core) but Sony does a awesome job optimizing it's software to it.
If you want to play games, go on Play, Neo V is a good if you want a all around phone. Besides the awesome UI (that, in my opinion, is WAY better than TouchWiz).

selling my G2x to buy Xperia neo v because of good support of sony and already ics on it.. is it a wise decision to go to single core after using a dual core??

Well it depends on your requirements
if you need ICS & Good Rom development support then Neo V is way better than g2x , but when it comes to screen size & dual cpu goodies guess G2x has the upper hand.

have you checked specs of ray? even smaller screen.
in my opinion don't go on lower specs phone.
g2x have good specs, only lg's software kills it
if you need good developer support, neo has nice support.
g2x also has nice support but don't know how much people could done because of nvidia's closed hands to devs, at least that's how it was when i was thinking to buy 2x, maybe things changed from then, you would know better
if ur gaming crzy then definetly no becos g2x has ULP gpu which gives par more better performance than adreno 205 on neo v
I'd definitely say no. The SGS2 is a flagship class phone and much stronger than the Neo V. The Neo V is worse on all fronts.

Xperia U is not a great phone with limited memory and 512mb ram,if you want a flagship from Sony NXT series it should be Xperia S,I don't suggest Xperia P due to its limited internal memory of 16gb
myself too waiting for few months for xperia S's prize go down and my neo v is only 4 months old
xperia U is not a good choice , small screen , only 4GB storage (no card slot)....
Take a look at these phones...
Xperia S , Xperia ION (will also be available as a non LTE Edition SOON ) , Xperia P , Xperia sola , Xperia neo L [DUAL CORES]
SAMSUNG GALAXY S 3 (Ugly design but powerful hardware) [QUAD CORE]
HTC ONE S ,HTC ONE X [QUAD CORES]
MOTO RAZR , RAZR MAXX [DUAL CORES]

Hi
I want to know a few things about Xperia Sola before buying one
The most important thing to me is games , can Sola handle games average and big ones??? . And what can you tell me about the Sola's camera??.
Since it has a duel core cpu is it good for multitasking , is it fast or slow .
If you had to choose between Sola and Arc S ,which one would you prefer?
And one last thing , for how long do you think Sony will keep supporting Xperia Sola?
Thanks in advance
no one has Xperia Sola?????

Sola is the same as Xperia P and I have used an Xperia P for a bit. It will run most games fine and they are updating the compatability for the chipset as well. It is pretty smooth and the dual core should be good for multitasking. Its only real weakness is the 512 of ram it has which is not the greatest. If the 2011 line of Xperias can run ICS then the sola should too. Sony is definitely going to continue supporting the NXT series of phones and has done a good job so far. Sola is much better than Arc S.
For me Sola looked ideal on paper, but little after getting the phone it was rather a let down compared to the alternative with which i tested out earlier (Samsung galaxy ace 2, which was 15% cheaper). The only thing this phone is better at if movie capture quality and if it's not really that important I'd recommend everyone to choose Ace 2.

Why is that, the Ace 2 is the same hardware with a arguable worse screen? It does have a little more RAM which is nice, but it is one ugly phone and Samsung Ui is trash.
Ok thanks now I am satisfied.
I am going to buy a Sola
Sony: The whole 2011 Xperia lineup (which got updated to ICS) will not be getting Jelly Bean because Sony "would not be able to guarantee owners of these smartphones the user experience you expect and we demand".

Bad news but as expected... They can make a firm for Xperia J but not for similar phones like Neo/Arc/S, what a waste of money in software departments...
It's really bad news for us. However, Could we request them for Camera Lib for JB?

Don't you get it.Sony's main target is to make money.This is a business after all.Besides 2011 models are outdated now,be happy that they gave us a stable ICS fw(unlike lg,samsung even htc who abandoned most of their 2011 mid end lineups in ICS update).Their main target must be improving and selling more 2012 series and upcoming 2013 xperia models and that's what Sony should target on if they ever want to be a giant in smart phone business-not updating every 2011 model !
Man I was really Hopping for JB
Well, When JB comes to any Xperia hopefully our Friendly Developers in Xda will port it in our device ^_^
i'am not surprised at all ! cost saving is essential for a business
anyway i use the official ROM cuz i get the clearbass and some Sony apps
once a JB ROM has those features ported i'll jump straight to it XD
maybe we'll have to wait until Xperia J get some beans

It's nothing new...Sony must focus on 2012 and the upcoming 2013 Xperia series. However,i'm happy with stock rom (debloated),few mods and apps from Xperia T and 587 fw. It's very smooth and i always have 150-160 mb of free RAM. I've tried CM10 and PACMAN roms,they're very good,but i hate the fact that phone is rebooting when view videos and also i miss the Bravia Engine,because,let's be honest,without Bravia Engine,the Xperias display sucks when viewing videos (at least for me).But the explanation from Sony why the 2011 series is not getting JB,is hilarious (i mean let's compare the Arc S with Xperia J :laugh. However,i think that next year i'll change my Neo with an Xperia V.

I didn't removed everything,i've removed just few useless apps (i've kept fb inside xperia). Beside this,i'm not using the phone for gaming,so,for me is more than enough.And you have 200 mb all the time,or just when you turn on the phone? i have 150-160 all the time.However,before debloating i was having just about 90-100 mb lol
As for me I will move to Apple. Not because their updates to all phones, but because the app devs in android will left many of us. Jelly Bean ask for 60 fps, most of the biggest devs, are working to reach this level. Then, after a few months I will be not suprise with I see an app exclusively for JB. One thing in my defense to move to Apple, Chrome. Chrome is a google app, in IOS even a 3GS can get it. But Here at least ICS. Another example? Snapssed. Snapseed bought by Google, wonderfull app, it works in 3GS, 4, 4S and 5, but for us, it needs at least tegra 2. So, I am leaving, it was good and wonderfull time here with everybody, but I got stressed about it. Every year, this same story and I did not learn. Always buying android phones, and now I found me exactly in the same disgusting situation. I will not try to use custom roms, though I know how to put it in my phone, because even the great effort , they are still buggy. I am not arguing, but it is the truth. Many will say that ICS is enough for me, yes, until now is more than enough. But knowing how android is, soon will be not enough.
So friends I will stay here until sell my Xperia Neo and buy an Iphone 4. After that Goodbye.

with all due respect but I do not think we should rejoice because both have almost the entire line 2011 with ics, I see the hand of everyone being equal in hardware. but for me it's the least we would have to be done to win customers since bought by the promise of neo v ics, however icebug got a way with ginger. because it gave us the applications "nxt"? if not for the developers .... Samsung has updated the s2 was minimal upgrade at least the arc / s

U should try the new pacman ROM...its uber fast...has every concivable thing working and leaves oodles of RAM and free memory...and anyway, as soon as they release the official JB, i guess all the ROMs out there will be able to extract the required libraries and port them over to make the custom ROMs stable...that's what happened with ICS too
