For me is neo much faster then my old Htc Desire.
And 320mb memory...hmm..i have a lots if apps installed to system/app partitions and results is 40mb free for system app, about 200mb free data/app partitions and i hav installed about 50apps...included skype, 5 gameloft HD games, iconpacks, and much more big apps.
Startup is good.
BUT: i have rooted phone.
use of app2sd will help maintain free memory

in holland the galaxy s is €305,- and the xperia neo €290,-
but i would definatly recommend you the xperia neo.
- better camera
- flashlight
- camera button
- not to big
- newer
- not the plasticy galaxy feel....
- usb on the go
- hdmi
- sd card slot not beneath the battery
- indocator led
the only thing why you maybe want to choose the galaxy s can be that it has more development and a little bit faster GPU?
is theback of of the phone easly get scratches ?!
Plastic cover gets scratches easly....but they dont see so bad at all.
My phone fall about 10 time and after that the backcover is like nothing happens
it's like it has gorillaglass everywhere, you can't see the scratches!
i really like it
what color is ur phone ?!

Hi!
I'm wondering about what phone should I buy, and I'm really intentioned to choose SE Xperia X10 Mini, but i'm affraid that the screen is to small to many of the apps and games.
Can you give me your feedback about it?
Thank's!
As far as I'm concerned, the size of x10 mini is ideal for a phone. Of course small design means small screen.
I've been using a lot of apps the last couple of weeks since I got the phone and I'm not lacking the large screen size. Of course this is a mater of taste
Depends on what you'll be using the device for. For me, I've never got in to mobile gaming so I'm generally not bothered how a device performs/displays games. Apps-wise, I've not had a problem with the screen size for anything I've wanted to load so far. It is a small screen and the resolution is low when compared with more expensive high-end devices, but it doesn't bother me.
Thank's!
My choice is done!

Agreed!
Get the Pro because the keyboard is great and the size is not much different. Screen is fine for everything. I watch TV shows on it and its great, also web browsing is easy and not hard zooming in and moving around quickly.
I hope to use this for GPS navigation in car, screen might be a bit small for that, will test and find out...

I am planning on getting the X10 mini pro this weekend. I had prevously been using a TyTN2, QVGA screen, but about 50% larger physical size. Let's see how it goes!

What kind of app do you use to watch tv-shows? Did you find it in the market?
Screen size, resolution and processor are an ideal combination if a succussful port of android 2.2 is achieved by developers.
After rooting the phone and removing the unwanted app's, this thing cooks. The only regret I have is not buying the pro, although the keyboard does look dorky.

End of September??
No, end of september is for androïd 2.1
Nope!
Screen size is really nice!
I like the sharp screens (big resolution for small physical size)
My previous phone was nokia 5500 and player was Sony Walkman NWZ616 with 2.5" screen with QGA(320x240). Image looks really good on all of these devices!
Pro with HW keyboard is very good and size of the x10 mini/pro is real size of a phone, not the big fat TV/game-pad.
Hey Guys - trying to decide which one to choose from - Can get them basically at the same price ...
I have tried playing around with both - main points to look at - speed and camera.
The XLWW is definitively faster - but the images taken at artifical light - seemed more yellowish (should've been white) + there was more noise and less detail. The Wildfire S on the other hand made better low-light photos but was a bit sluggish as compared to the much nicer interface the XLWW had ?
Another point is : HD video on XLWW vs 640/480 on the Wildfire S
Oh and I am really keen on the Wildfire S design (not that the XLWW is that bad but the WIldfire is better).
Which one is the better one at the end - what is your opinion ?
I would go for the XLWW. 50% of my opinion 'cause I'm a Sony Fan.

I've used them both and I also recommend the XLWW, it's just better than the Wildfire.

Thanks - I think the wt19i is better myself - it's just that the camera issue is kinda important to me and the little test I made in the shop didn't convince me to take it ... I know it's a low-end phone - but still 5mp is supposed to make decent images at least.
I have had short experiences with both phones. And I would choose Sony Xperia LWW over HTC Wildfire S any day because.. its..
Newer (October, 2011 vs May, 2011).
Will soon get ICS (and this is a big one for me).
Lot more processing power (1GHz vs 600 Mhz) - this will matter a lot if you plan on keeping the phone for a while.. there is so much in the Play Store and you would want to install a lot of apps.. the more processing power, the merrier.
Music is really loud - although yes it distorts at high volumes but its awesome.. especially when watching youtube videos with friends in high noise areas).
Got a front-facing camera. I am an avid Skype user so it was a must for me.
Regarding Camera.. yes, Wildfire S is definitely better with stills.. but i would say it's a little compromise over LWW's ICS love and greater processing power. And moreover, LWW can shoot 720p videos..!
All said.. i still love to hold Wildfire S over LWW. But verdict - Sony Xperia Live With Walkman.
Hit Thanks button if I helped.
My vote for "Sony Live With Walkman", there are several reasons.
1Ghz processor
512 RAM
Start ICS 4 update this week onwards.

No, i don't think so. Xperia Neo V had some picture quality issues too with GB and it hasn't changed with ICS.
But, you can always post-process images to remove that yellowish tint.

the yellowish tint is easily removed - I would be more concerned in the loss of detail made some test photos at a shop today - compared to the wildfire s - the lww had significantly low detail when image is zoomed ...
otherwise all the rest seems much better - but I am hoping his could somehow be a software issue

Yeah indeed, its a software issue coz it overcompress images but I am not sure if there's a fix for that yet.. maybe some senior member could shed some light on that (anyone listening?), have you tried googling it..?
But even if you decide not to go for LWW, Wildfire S is still a big NO, the processor is really dated. What other phones have you considered..? Is Xperia Neo V (there is a bit price drop with the launch of Sony Xperia Sola) and HTC One V within your price range..?

actually had a look at the Neo V and the picture quality of the camera was pretty much the same - which lead me to the conclusion that the problem might be coz of the software... or a crappy camera matrix.
anyways - the lww works really like a beast with the regular rom that it comes with I was looking at it in the shop and was impressed - let alone with a custom rom - just maybe waiting on a fix for the overcompressed image - wasn't there going to be a less compressed version of the image coming with the ics ? (as a setting ?)

No official word from Sony about the setting, just street rumors, which got proved wrong with Neo V, so hopes are low for LWW too. Yeah, u r right about the stock rom - m a big time timescape user - looks beautiful, works cool.

I truly hope this gets fixed - I see the same problem with Neo, Neo V, LWW, ARC - pretty much most of the late 2011 phones have this issue ... so until a fix is released I will be pretty much holding off.
And you won't have to wait for long.. coz ICS coming to LWW soon starting in a couple days as per the official Sony blog. Start asking around on ICS related threads.

.. and man i just realized its the android 4.0.4..! The ICS update on Neo V I was talking about earlier was 4.0.3. This time, both LWW and Neo V will get 4.0.4. And some guys here at XDA saying we will get a new kernel too.
So hopes are high again for a fix for the camera.

I would go definitelly for Xperia. HTC is compared to Xperia waaay slower. I had both of them in had, so I can tell.
Hi all..after 3-4 days of research over the internet,i like these 2 phones a lot.But,i saw both these match each other almost in specs..just the screen size and form factor are different(and yes just the phone memory!! being different).
I just wanted to ask whether SE LWW display is pleasing to the eyes?I dont expect AMOLED like quality as in my S2..but i dont expect display to be like HTC wildfire either.
Please tell me how is the screen quality compared to HTC One V ??
I just love the LWW design and the lovely white color,but i need a decent screen to compliment the display
Thanks in advance
I suggest htc as it has bigger screen.and u will luv the sense ui which is exellent.display quality of lww is ok..nt much great for which u r leaving htc behind.

Hmm..so LWW's screen quality is SLIGHTLY not better than HTC One V right?
Well what you want but for me this HTC looks ugly.
no one knows exactly because no one had ever had both phone to compare in real life.
but in theory, seeing specs of both phone's screen resolution and ppi, one v should be better.
lww is mdpi but one v is hdpi.
edited: me myself own a lww and the screen is just ok. not too bad but also not the best.
Personally, I never liked the sense UI and HTC. I'll vote for LWW
In my opinion time scape is better....
htc had bigger screen but ugly style and ui...
LWW is great but dont buy the white cus its alittle bit slippery.

agree! vote for SE LWW (black)!
Both the cell phone has the same hearts. As they run the same processors, and have same amount of RAM.
The One V has a bigger screen, and higher resolution. So in case you prefer larger devices you can go for One V. One V will also take care of compatibility of games, as it has hdpi resolution.
On the other hand LWW has better audio. Its speakers are awesome. In terms of display, the phone is nice, but obviously not as good as the One V, since the One V has higher ppi.
Also, IMO, the LWW will perform better for daily use as the processor has to do much less work on mdpi rather than hdpi. And the Sense (its cool, the looks are great) eats lots of RAM too, which is not the case in LWW (after you remove the ****ware I mean).
Thank You,
Rick

did you try to hold both at the same time?
I did and Im sure that the white one is more slippery because of the Smoothness of the back cover.
HTC doesn't have front camera, so using skype is not comfortable.
I'm for LWW
Yo thanks guys..sorry i was offline for a day..This forum rocks BTW,didnt expect such a response..Kudos to you all.Thanks again..
Now coming to the point, i got hold of a HTC One X today.The phone being a quad core lagged a lot(seriously a lot).It couldnt even run a 720p video properly.I mean while video running i just changed the orientation and it just hanged!!! Never has my Galaxy S2 ever hanged while changing orientation in between playing videos
So i assumed(BIG ASSUMPTION) , if a quad core device from HTC behaves like that what can i expect from a single core?? HTC Sense is a serious resource Hogger I am going for the LWW And for the WHITE ONE Never ever owned a white phone

without any doubt HTC One V screen is MUCH better than the Sony LWW screen
Sony LWW doesn`t have BRAVIA engine so it`s screen cant even match Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini
one v
i own LwW, but thats because there was a price difference of about 8k (Pak rupee) otherwise would have gone for One V if the price was somewhat equal. plus you might want to compare Neo V and One V, because they both are closer to each other. LwW is comparatively low on specs as compared to those two
the screen is good, i mean my LwW colors are better than Evo3D of HTC, i cant tell about One V though. and i like the Sense UI, plus HTC has more resale value, in our market atleast.
Screen size: One V: 3.7 inches. LwW: 3.2 inches
Internal memory: One V: 4GB. LwW: 320MB
rest is almost same.
Cheers
I have wt9i ( LWW ), and I really like it. It is very fast ( doesn't lag ) and it has ear rocking speakers with great sound quality. Also, I would suggest you to install v6 Supercharger, because it really helps you get more performance and the battery lasts a bit longer.
V6 Supercharger: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
But I scare abt HTC video recording...
In HTC HD video recording usually they use H.263 codec to decode and the sound format sure will stick to .amr , although it make it file very small but the sound quality is worst...
I dunno One V got improve abt HD video recording but my xperia mini recorded 720p HD video is even better than my friend's Sensation XE 720p HD video recording.
Guys help required again..I was about to order the white LWW , but the seller said its out of stock !!! Please tell me is the black LWW good looking??White was damn sexy

Merry Christmas lads, sorry for opening another one thread/spamming... I found xperia sola and xperia U at exactly the same price....which one shall i go for? Please answer me i need your suggestions! Thanks.
What do you like more? A colourful Illumination Bar or a Magical Display? Just Kidding
A perfect/good smartphone is good because of it's small great things, not because it has a Tegra 3 Processor or 2GB of RAM. Thats my Opinion
I think you should go into a electronic store and hold both devices in your Hand. The sola has a bigger Display and you can use it with gloves, yay So I would buy a Sola, but listen to your heart

I held a sola yesterday but when i surfed the internet it was a bit laggy...may because it wasn't updated to ics ? I don't know why....colours were REALLY beautiful too!
So, when you were kidding above did you really meant sth? Xperia U's screen can be compared with Sola's one? (forget the inches, talk about colours)
The internet thing: maybe the Ram was full?
Both displays have 16 millions colors and both have the Bravia Engine, so I don't think that there is a difference

I can't remember for the ram...
From the videos i have seen till now, Sola and U are exactly the same but U has only 4GB user accessible :-/ i think i can cover this problem witha usb adapter....you think that usb adapter will be annoying? Or will it be easy to get used to it?
Only reason why you should buy U instead of Sola is front camera. If you can live without it then Sola is better phone most definitely.
Also keep one thing in mind that both of these phones will NOT get official JellyBean from Sony. So if you are a fan of Stock manufacturer's firmware, you might want to reconsider buying either of these two phones.
Though, hopefully they WILL get unofficial JB Rom such as Cyanogen etc but it may take a long while to get everything working in these roms, there is also a chance that some features such as video recording may never work in an unofficial JB rom. So think before you buy
Nothing better than the stock rom
Go for a device that will get jelly bean
One more and last question guys...if I buy xperia sola and a freeze suddenly appears and as a result i must remove the battery to "unfreeze" it, what can I do then? I saw the battery is unremovable and it wories me a little.....any help? If there is a solution for this "problem" i will definately buy Sola,otherwise i am afraid i have to reconsider buying a new phone...
I think that there is a way to force reboot on such type of phones, something like power button and vol down...

On this phone you dont remove battery, you do vol + power untill the phone vibrates 3 times.
If i were you i would find samsung or HTC for the same money.

Yes bro
Everyone have their own preferences
I tried every rom present here
Bt I always get back to stock one
of course.... Xperia Sola is better than Xperia U... because Xperia Sola has external sd card whereas the Xperia U does not have... My friend's Xperia U running on stock ICS has the wifi bug... where he tries to turn off the wifi but the wifi still kept turning on... so.. consider Xperia Sola maybe? XD
Don't go for any of them s3 duos xperia go

after getting my Xperia Neo stolen I decided to go with Sola - as the 3.7" inch screen is perfect size for my hands. It is the minimum for me to be able to write text in portrait orientation (XU has 3.5" screen).
On the other hand I *hate* Sola's floating touch (or glove mode)! Main reason is that you cannot switch it off in games - what good is dual core processor if you are not able to control the game properly due to this floating touch nonsense? To name few: Triple Town, Temple Run, Muffin Knight, GTA3 and others are unplayable (even though the performace is ok). You can get rid of floating touch with different ROM (at the moment there are only two of them), but if you plan to game much, better go with XU...
Another thing to consider is that Sola goes crazy when on charger - it won't react correctly on touch - it think it is floating touch technology again to blame here... (don't know if the same problem occurs on XU)
You can google both of these problem - I would love to know about them before I have bought my Sola :/

I'm thinking of buying the Xperia U but I have a few questions.
How is the call sound quality, headphone quality and loudspeaker quality like?
How is the screen quality like and how are the graphics like on high end HD games?
Is the browsing very fast on this phone? Does zooming in and out on desktop websites lag a lot?
Has anyone's screen stopped working or has their been any hardware failures that have happened to a lot of xperia u's?
Finally, how long do you think it will be before the phone becomes out of date? I want to use it for maybe 3 years after purchase so I need to know if it is future proof.
Sorry for asking so many questions but I want to be entirely sure the phone is ideal for me. Thanks if you bothered to read this far and double thanks if you answered any of my questions.
In order.
Brilliant,
Brilliant but storage is an issue
Good
Nope
1 year at most.
Press thanks if it helps!

I would recommend you to increase the budget a bit and buy Xperia P instead Xperia U.
Cause 1GB RAM will give you better smoothness than XU's 512 MB RAM.
Also SONY is still keeping XP in their mind while releasing Official updates like JB. [XU have Unofficial JB Port]
No offense to the XU users. It's just what i think that while buying android handset, it's better to go for a better hardware spec. Off course if u plan to increase your budget.
Guy above is right, i still regret buying xperia sola, when i could pay 30 more euros and buy xperia p... It is MUCH better and worth the money... I also think that its developing community is more active than xperia u... No offense of course
Also, u should know that a device like mine it is said that because sony reached the target of sales for this device, now they dont give a damn about it.... We all rely on xda to get jelly bean while xperia P DOES HAVE official jelly bean from sony...
Finally, technology is evolving SO FAST that u need to buy an expensive device so that it can compete with future device... (my opinion)
Does the extra 512MB RAM make a big difference from xperia u to xperia p? The processor and GPU are the same but stuff like screen and camera is better on the xperia p
Trust me, xperia sola with 512 mb of ram barely gives 150mb available, logically xperia p should give u at LEAST 300 mb of free ram...
As far as i know, true gaming devices must have at least 1gb of ram...
Any other comments on the Xperia u? What do you use it for on a daily basis?
If u dont play heavy games then it will do the job BUT IF U:
1) Are sure that 4 gb of storage is not enough (like me). Remember xperia u cannot take sd card...
2) Want to play heavy games, i am pretty sure that xperia p will do better
If u meet either the first or second condition then i urge u to buy xperia p but if u dont then feel free to buy xperia p... My sola is the same as xperia u but i can use an sd card and i must say that since i am not a hard core gamer it does the job pretty damn well
Does the xperia p have a slightly yellow tinted screen? In some videos I have seen the the white looks slightly yellow. Can anyone with an xperia P confirm whether the white is pure white or tinted yellow? Also, after upgrading the firmware to jellybean on Xperia P, do you get various problems with apps such as gallery app not working and does the phone lag or does it get faster? Sorry for all the questions. I just want to be sure before I purchase it

Actually there is no device exists which is completely error free. You just have to make it right by your self. The situation is quite same for Android Update also. Check the General Section, you will find a thread there named as - Xperia P JB Review.
Many users posted there JB experience there. That should be useful for you. And as for the Yellow Tint, Sony took care of that issue, after first few shipments of all of their models.
Hey guys ! I'm Running rooted and S-off HTC Incredible S. Its okay but outdated now. We are fully up to date in software, but the hardware is behind. Looking for a new phone is so difficult right now..
I have a budget of $300-$400 Aus. Samsung SIII is a little old now, N4 has no storage.. I wandering is Sony a good option? Would you recomend any Sony device in that price range?
Thanks

Call sound quality-good
Headphone quality-sounds good , the default headphones aren't good enough u'll surely need to buy a new 1
Loudspeaker-Totally disappointed by the loudspeaker
screen quality-Display is just awesome with 280ppi
Browsing used to lagg when I had too many apps installed..otherwise it works good
No hardware faults as such
Hahahaha there is nothing called as future-proof..U is already outdated,maybe you should go for P instead.
