Why no love

I want to rant on product reviews...most of which really slam the sony ion (mine is on the way) I almost didn't pull the trigger on the purchase based on poor reviews. I guess there is so much hype about other devices. All y'all current xperia device owners feel free to chime in on the selling points and any boosts from updates or custom roms!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KidCarter93:
You should never hold much faith in reviews, no matter who makes the review. Don't pay attention to benchmarks either.

Just because a phone has a bad review, until you test it for yourself, you have no idea.

That's why I've still got a galaxy s2. Reviews of it these days say that even though it's an OK phone, it's terrible in comparison to the latest devices.

I know for a fact that's not true. S2 is still one of the best phones around and is better than most of the newer phones :D

I had this kinda discussion with iridaki (FSM previously of x8 forum) and she said the same (as I expected with her being a mod) and as I said to her, if I was to report all those posts which should be reported none of the mods would be able to keep up to date with the reports plus it would mean I'd have no time to actually help people.

It's a crap situation really.

I mainly use it for thread maintenance aswell and I'll use it in extreme cases like if someone posts racism/sexism or warez.

And I wouldn't be able to help people because I'd be too busy with reporting things. That's why I'll normally just put a post in the thread and tell the person what they've done wrong and what to do instead.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] John Strijke:
Why would you sell your S? Looking for a bigger screen?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KidCarter93:
I've had nothing but problems with it to be honest. It was great for the first couple of months then everything started going wrong with it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mzr7:
You know I'd say wait for yuga. T isn't much of an upgrade from s it is but it's not that great. S can survive a few more months besides there is an announcement due from Sony about s mid of December.

Again wait for yuga that's what I plan on doing that thing looks awesome. If they use the same glass at the back as the xperia active! I'm sold!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KidCarter93:
I'm most likely moving away from Sony, to be honest. Xperia S let me down. X10 mini pro let me down. SE X8 was a great phone but I couldn't go back to something that small and the X10 was great aswell but it's not up to date enough for me to be interested in it.

I might give HTC a shot once I've sold the S. No idea yet though :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mzr7:
Sony let me down too. But you know I still believe in them. Kaz is taking Sony on the right direction! Cutting down smart phone development time into half is really showing and it seems to be getting better. They contribute to aosp the most and everything . Sony is gaining more respect from developers than any other brand out there. I think next year is going to be a big Sony mobile year if they get the marketing right and the rumored specs are true add to that not bringing out tons of cell phones. Ces 13 is just around the corner. I'm still waiting mate.

Btw what are you thinking? HTC butterfly? That thing is a beast!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KidCarter93:
The thing is, respect from developers means absolutely nothing if the devices are still terrible.

I only see one solution to make Sony great again. Become Sony Ericsson once again. When it was SE, their phones were great. Since it's just been Sony, the only "feature" their phones have is a great screen.

If I do go with HTC, there's not a chance I'll be going with the Butterfly because I don't like the look of it. I'm not sure what I'll be getting but it's gotta look good and be a half decent phone. It doesn't even matter if it's slightly outdated because there's ROMs available anyway :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mzr7:
Lol you and me both know thats not going to happen. I think the hardware has been fine not that great but not bad either. It's the software that lacks I mean it is apple who takes out the best of those Sony sensors in the iPhone. Sony just can't even Sammy does a good job with them.

The problem is Sony is in a transition phase call it our luck or bad luck we got the cells in it. Even the t is most likely done with SE. We probably still haven't even seen the first true Sony phone from the ground up!! Maybe next year.

Lol that's what I look for in a phone and reason why I didn't go with the s3 as much of a beast it maybe it's ugly compared to the s IMO (no offence to anyone who got it) . Oh and also lack of a camera shutter why can't they just add it? It really is a good thing to have!! :-\

nexus 4? Decent looks good. Though memory is a bummer along with back glass breaking.

Haha not a chance :p At least I got a decent amount for it. I got £123 for it for a trade in, so it'll be in my bank within the next couple of days :D

I'll be getting the Nexus 7 because it's only £180 so I don't need to put much towards it. I'll then wait a while and get a phone to replace the XS.

I was lucky to get that much for it though because it wasn't in great condition. The shop who got it off me will just use it for spares and repairs i reckon.

I'll be getting a laptop at some point so I haven't gotta rely on my brothers if I need it for my devices, but it's not really important at the moment. I'll just be glad to get the N7 :D

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KidCarter93:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Some say around 800 USD, others 650 USD (the latter being the newest rumor)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] landluber:
I bet it's gonna range depending on the region. It's what they always do. For example, the Xperia in the states was like $400 bucks when I left (and didn't buy it *stupid* *stupid*), and when I moved to Mexico it was like $11,000.00 MXN which is like 900 bucks. WAAAAAAAAAAY expensive and they're releasing official stock ICS this month... which is like waaaaaaaaaaaay too late... Of course, I'm rooted and currently enjoying it already. :P
