It's quite easy to type on this phone if you use it in landscape mode, lengthwise the screen is as big as the iPhone's.

awww. too bad. i was hoping for a makeover. 
did the soundd quality improve?
Sound quality is almost the same, little improvement at the maximum volume (I think lower THD, volume levels are the same though). Sound quality is excellent nevertheless. I'm using the LiveSound earbuds and I can't complain. |

+ now we can uninstall that useless Wisepilot app (among with 3 others), after a fresh install I had like 330MB of free internal memory
It's defiinitely not useless, but somewhat redundant since google maps works well enough in most situations
- screen capture is gone
Actually, it isn't. Press *and hold* the ON button and the Volume down button simultaneously. It's a bit trickier, and requires two hands, but on the positive side, it's now possible to take a screen dump of transient windows, like, for example when the notification pulldown is down.
- some widgets are buggy
Not to mention that some of my favourite widgets are gone, like the flight mode on/off switch or the digital 7 segment digit clock.

The best mobile phone brand died with Sony Ericsson's death. Shame on you Sony for killing it! And, of course, for ruining the Xperia brand... Mediar's Site |

Guys a LOT of XRAY ICS kits are released, go check. I just finished installing. It actually installed over GB, so all your data stays intact. |

Yeah, I connected the phone today for downloading some pictures and I found that ICS is in Bulgaria also. 
It have some issues but browser is twice as fast as before, sound is a little bit louder, and I think some colors look more vibrant on the screen, especially reds.

There was some overheating when I installed it at first and started installing everything, but, since then, I haven't had any overheating issues.
That said, I can't say I'm terribly impressed with Android anymore; I've been using Windows Phone for the past month and I feel inclined to go back to that; Sony botching the Facebook Inside Xperia integration doesn't really help matters, but I'm getting pretty fed up with the Android ecosystem in general. |

I've got an Xperia Ray a week ago. I have already known that there are many unusual things with Android phones but when you start using it you notice it much heavier.
My main problem is the high resolution screen and the high data usage what it genereates. I always turn off data traffic when I don't use browsing with the phone. I have a 500 MB data plan, and with my C901 was just enough. I even haven't turned on my notebook -which is nearly dying- for days to use the internet. I watched youtube videos browsed facebook, esato, and some other stuff too on my phone. In the case of Ray the use of youtube bothers me mostly. Everybody is concerned about why is limited the video quality, why it isn't higher. My case is just the opposite. I used to the low quality (about 176x220 (?) resolution and lower quality audio) videos with C901, but with that quality I could wath quite a big quantity (rougly half an hour average daily).
In tha case of Ray even if I disable HQ at the Youtube app, or at m.youtube.com, a 3-4 minute video consumes 5-8 MB (and if I divide 500 MB with 30-31, 16 MB is available for me daily), and that is too much for me.
So, my question is: How is it possible to watch videos with the Lowest quality, or how could you force that?
And my other question is that an Xperia mini, or Live with Walkman plays lower resolition videos with lower quality because of their lower resolutioan screen, or in those cases is this quality available also? If those phones play lower quality videos in youtube, and so, require less data traffic, I can regret that I haven't chose one of those phones. |
