[Q] help me decide. xperia p vs xperia sola - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

hey all, im currently using xperia mini pro and planning to sell it and buy a new phone.
my target is xperia sola or xperia p. dont tell me to buy other products i only want sony :good:
which do you think is better?
cons of sola i know:
1. sola has smaller screen 3.7 inch instead of 4.0. but i think that would be big enough for me. cause im using a 3.2 inch screen phone for a year now.
2. 512mb ram instead of 1 gb ram. but i think that would be no problem if supercharger v6 script applied.
3. 5mp camera instead of 8mp camera. which is fine for me.
4. weird looking screen. is it just me but the sola screen can be fall of anytime soon
5. floating touch. to me this is useless im not gonna use it anyway. its gonna consume battery. is there an option to switch it off?
6. i heard there will be no jelly bean updates for sola? but P gonna have it? not sure if this has been confirmed or not.
cons of p i know:
1. doesnt have sd card slot. i know it comes with 16gb internal storage. but i heard the real one is 11gb only available or less than that?
2. uses micro-sim slot?? i have been using lg optimus one, galaxy note, xperia mini pro, those three are mini-sim. what is the difference between micro sim and mini sim? will my sim card be compatible with the micro sim slot? cause i dont wanna buy a new type of sim card.
3. most people says xperia p battery life sucks compare to sola, u, s and so on?
now tell me honestly which phone should i pick? no biase answers please. personally i prefer P because it has a bigger screen. but is it worth it to add $90 to go for the P instead of the Sola?

Xperia P looks better in my opinion, what really made the phone stand out for me. but no expandable storage and the battery kinda suck to be honest, but for me this isnt really a problem so i went ahead and bought one. Also your sim will work with the P if you cut it to size, or ask your carrier for one, they will usually give you a micro sim with your same number, and contract etc. free of charge, i recommend going to your carrier, because i broke my P when i put in a mini sim which i attempted to cut to size, luckily it was replaced with warranty!

thanks a lot for explaining the microsim-minisim. i understand better about that now.
what about the internal storage?
what are the free internal storage when you first time open your P out of the box?

can you tell me you're reasons

About 11 gb, but you fill up the rest with apps and such, so it's not all that bad. And I'm not certain on this but if you root and use Roms you could probably get access to the whole 16

Xperia S is better, but it doesnt look as nice in my opinion and it wasnt in the price range i was looking at, and if you're considering the sola and P then the S might be a bit pricey on your budget. If you want specs, get the S. Depends on your usage though, the S also has a better battery life i hear.

Go for P. Of course!
Why? The reason is already you mentioned above.
But i think the reasaon is u must go for P is RAM! 512 mb and 1Gb it's totally different.
If sola get a task, open application, games , and etc, so the ram is almost full, but xperia P still have half of ram free with the same task.
Don't think supercharger is make more free ram. Maybe ur sola can more smoth and fast but it take a lot of ram.
And the last thing is because sony will bring their update first on the XP than Sola
It's really frustated when xperia P already have ICS and we (sola, u, go) must be waiting till 2 months later.
and if u go for sola u must be waiting again like us, for the jelly bean update, just share
Sorry for my bad english.
Please hit thanks if i helped
