Can you imagine? In Bulgaria the Xperia Neo V is even more expensive than the original Neo, and is sold at a price of 300+euro. Damn. Not to mention, that the Xperia Pro is the second most expensive xperia today, being with less than 30 euro cheaper than the Arc S! The Xperia Play is a bit expensive as well - 360euro!

Yes it`s kinda strange... 360 euro for Pro is almost the same as Arc S, which prize is lower than original Arc for now...  Neo is almost 70 - 90euro less than Ray, and we don`t have any place where to buy LiveSound. I guess  have strange politics about smaller markets... or just don`t have any, and their partners along with operators dictate the market.
Anyway I`ve decided on Ray against Neo, and shortly will post my first pics with the little beauty in the respective topic. |

In Australia, in shops Neo is $500, and Arc is up to $800 (but only $570 outright through Optus stores - branded but unblocked). I bought my Neo through dutyfreecentral.com for $288 (Australian prices). I was pretty happy with that.

I get it for 204 GBP! (it's not adding VAT when I add to cart when logged in). Not sure how that works, our version of VAT is called GST, I guess I would have to pay GST technically but how would Aust. govt know? Plus 20 GBP delivery 7-10 days.
It was still cheaper for me to get it through dutyfreecentral (288 AUD + 35 AUD postage) but not much.
Pretty much ballpark. This damn cheap when you look what smartphones of this class used to go for. I paid $800 for my Samsung i8910 less than two years ago. I got my Satio on contract; it was $800 retail. The W910 I had a few years ago was $1000 when it came out!!! (I got it on contract for nothing). It wasn't even a smartphone! In those days smartphone were $1500 plus.

Ray if you want smaller size & sharper better screen plus the Ray camera is bit better than Neo. Neo just has bigger darker screen & creaky build after a week. See my photos taken by Ray in photos section or the Ray picture thread.

I'm planning to buy the Xperia Neo.
I'm concerned about the build quality, what can you say about it?
Thank you.
