May i know what is the price at which you are getting it????
AW: [Help] Wanna buy Xperia Sola
I think that the sola is one of the best bang for the buck you can get. Stock Sony fw is pretty good and if that's not enough, you can go for cm or miui.
When you buy it, check if unlock allowed =yes! That's important.

really appreciate yur replies guys..... would be getting it in 2weeks time, was just afraid cos of lots of complains about tha phone.
i prefer stock/MIUI rom, heard CM is buggy & CM9.1 is old. 10.1 is tha latest i guess.
Xperia Sola is $246 here....
Sola is Great !!!!!!.
no Other Phones are There Like Sola..with awesome.. floating Touch ))

Congratulation, brov! Finally you move from Sony Ericsson phone to SONY phone:good:
I myself own Xperia P. If you dont care about JB update then go for Xperia sola. But I prefer P over sola.
Sent from LT22i via Tapatalk
Save up a bit more and get the P or something else.
I just sold my Sola. Barely got half the value I got for it even though it's a 6 months phone. The problem is that it is buggy as hell and needs CM9 to even function properly (Talking about notifications and calls here.) Check the forums, there's a particular bug where you have to wait like 10 seconds before you can accept a call.
The lack of support from Sony is also disappointing. ICS was released only late last year (Everyone has moved on to JB), and JB will never even come for this phone.
The floating touch was a good idea, but it was not... Useful. Looks cool as hell, and had so much potential, but it is more annoying than useful. It's tendency to be activated when you're charging means it's very difficult to type when your phone is being charged.
I just need a phone to function as a phone, and it can't even deliver that to me.
really appreciate yur comments guys..... me too love Xperia Sola but less RAM & no more updates, Sony really fumbled!!!
lots of Complains bout Xperia Sola. big hug to yhu guys!
ZN6 i felt like moving on dats why i sold it. maybe will waiting till February ending or March to get phone den & maybe i would be getting Xperia P!

well.. if you can stretch by another 3-3.5 k.. you can get S(infibeam/buytheprice).. you can also look for coupons on the net to get more discount.. I got mine for 26.5k , but if you cant.. in the 25 k range.. there is nothing better than P in the indian market..

I have bought XMP in April 2012 with great hope. I have used SE K550i for 6 years without any trouble and that's why I chose XMP as my first smartphone. I have waited for the ICS update with great expectations that it will empower my XMP to the full potential. But Sony disheartened me, like most of the people out there with a 2011 xperia device.
Then I thought that they are going to make things better by providing us with a buttery-smooth JB release, since 2011 xperia devices are only 1 year old at the time of announcing the JB by Google. But today I learned that we will not be getting the JB update. This is a bad move from Sony. They may not realize this but consumers these days are smart and well-informed. I bet all the 2012 xperia users are happy now, but soon they will realize that their smartphones will be as cramped as the 2011 xperias with ICS update. Also, they will be rejected just like us after only a year (or even less) from now. Moreover, as I understand form their official announcement on this matter, even Xperia U won't get the JB update (they have excluded this name from their list).
However, I will wait for Kamarush for the JellyXProject he promised.

Yes I think Apple's support is really good, but if you see a nexus phone it's the same. I mean the nexus s got the jelly bean update :good:
Guys, this is nothing new. The previous line of Xperias (X8, X10 mini + pro,...) were stuck on android 2.1 from sony. There was no official support from CyanogenMod, FXP moved to newer line of phones, yet the comunity keeps the development on and there are already CM10 ROMs. I had X8 and hated Sony for this. Now i have mini pro and I don't care about Sony, they gave us great hardware for great price. People there will keep it comming, just show some support to the devs, send them few bucks, at least for a beer, just to show appreciation.
Don' t worry guys we have XDA so we have no problem we will have jB and key lime pie sooner or later... cheers to DEVs! :good:

Or if you like me, Razr Maxx is not such a bad deal either
About Nexus Phone, i understand that there are peoples who likes pure Android experience. But it is truly for enthusiasts who are willing to add any feature by himself. For casual user though, if you already have satisfying experience with some maker's interface/functionality (Small Apps or Smart Action), the Nexus is lacking though.. But that's just my opinion..

Yeah agree, but I need a phone under 250 Euros. And by the way I'm an extreme fan of pure Android/ pure AOSP roms, but I love Sony phones and every stuff. I've got sony PlayStations, TV, media player, Radio, Hifi etc. . I would choose Galaxy nexus if it would be cheaper than 250 EUR. Any recommendations under 250.-EUR?
I've also been looking for a replacement for my Ray and I've found some interesting chinese devices ( not copies ) that look extremely good and with great prices...only bad thing is that their development section is almost inexistent...
Yo dawgs, thanks for everything, the help, good luck to all the awesome developers for Ray, glad 2 see the community growing, people helpin people, Sadly I can't take part of it anymore. bought a red Sola.

Sola was a good choice in my opinion, just don't do the same mistake that you did with the ray.
the only phone that is actually an upgrade its the xperia SX... same look, better perfomance, better screen, same size..
MM but our single core is almost the same perfomance of st Ericsson dual core chips.

Sadly I can't keep it, it's a pain that I could never try Android 4.2, and lots of roms for Ray which I should give a try. I'm happy and I bought my Sola, waiting for amazon 2 ship it, but sadly realized that Sola has almost no development. Only rethemed roms by noobs, a miui port, and the FXP cm9 which is buggy as hell and lots of things not working. But I think Sola is great enough to use without custom roms. Sony promised JB so I ain't got no worries.
Hi, my wife has a Sony Xperia Ars S and now she want's a new Sony Xperia, she can't decide between the Xperia P, U or Go
Can you tell me if any of her choices have Jellybean firmware or are they all still all on ICS and which one would you recommend.
P for sure, though I'd recommend an Xperia V for a slightly higher money. Definitely worth every penny.
FYI, P got a gig of memory, JellyBean, unibody and is sexy
I think the battery backup is a bit on the downside, but still...
There's no reason you should consider the others.

First of all it's called Xperia and not Experia
Second xda is not a forum for people how don't know which device they should buy
Nevertheless I'll answer your questions
The JellyBean thing:
Xperia P = Yes it has JellyBean
Xperia U = Nope
Xperia Go = Yes
It's also important how your wife use/want to use her phone
If she let it fall down 3 times a day, the Xperia Go is recommended.
If she likes a better screen resolution and a bigger display the Xperia P will be good
And if she don't like JellyBean the Xperia U is perfect
Thanks for the fast replys and apologies for the spelling mistake.

I would say Sola, because of the expandable memory.
I'd go for the Xperia P. Also before buying one, make sure you have checked all phones from your price range, like Samsung Galaxy S3 mini

Are you sure she wants to change phone? Xperia arc s is great! The screen is bigger than p. Even if it's a 1.4 ghz single core with 512 mb ram, is pretty fast. You can also get a fantastic cm10 for it. I suggest you to purchase an higher range Xperia phone or not to buy any.

let me know what should i buy!!
None of it, if you're not going to install custom ROM. Sony's ICS is slower than my turtle, and Ace 2 AFAIK isn't much faster (considering 800 vs 1000 mhz for U)

Sony xperia u with the ics firmware lags a lot on phonecalls, actually the main work a phone should do. It has a good battery life. On my xperia u I am facing problems with viber but I don't know if it's because of my settings to be honest. Facebook, browsing etc work fine.
Don't know much about Samsung mate.
If I were you I would take a look on Xperia p also if you can find it in a decent price. Here in Italy Sony xperia u and p have almost the same price now plus Xperia p is upgradable to jb and seems to fly.
If you decide to go for xperia u I suggest you to downgrade it to gb
