Looks like this won't be picked up by any UK carriers but if I get a three branded one from Swedish or Finnish eBay it should work in the UK.

It's not chrome,the frame is also made of plastic. Makes the phone light - really light, I was surprised how light it feels!
also love the soft rubbery back (black version). Love the screen. Love the new camera effects. Love the water resistance. Love the size of it it's just right. Great great phone!
rog, can you (or anyone else) confirm if the white version also got a soft rubbery like back? I'd really prefer that I want the white one, but if it got a hard plastic feeling I might choose the black one. Thanks! |

Yes it does seem quiet on all the networks atm. I'd be surprised if the V isn't stocked by UK Three as it is in Sweden/Finland.
You can actually pick one up now on Ebay for £577 it's the Japan Variant

I considered getting the V, but Vodafone just gave my an Xperia T for free only 7 months through my 12 month contract which I was pretty pleased with. After playing with the T I'm not too sure whether it's worth getting the V as the design is the same, and *most* (not all) of the features are all software related meaning it'll be on XDA (which it already is).

@randomuser
You can confirm that xperia v has whitemagic panel?
Seems that is the case:
It's the same screen that we saw on Xperia P or it's a software thing?

Don't know where that screenshot is coming from, but this is the display settings on my Xperia v:

No white magic (and this is a hardware thing, can't be added via software)

It's from Xperia AX.
Maybe AX has a whitemagic panel and their cousin V not? I'ts not the first time Sony reserves its best technology just for Japan market... |

BE2 is pretty much the White Magic screen. It has extra white pixel. Nothing else. They're just rebranding it as BE2, since White Magic doesn't seem to be picking up on consumers.

I think unknown13 is wrong this time and MB2 isn`t a WhiteMagic rebranding because next years displays from JapanDisplay also use this tech as WM. Why would Sony change it here? Also MB is software related and WM is hardware related.
No logic at all.
I`ll take this screen shot from AX as fake for now. |

Other question guys which keeps on confusing me: the V will not work in any US LTE band. But what about HDSPA+? Will it work with either AT&T or T-Mobile USA? This whole network-frequency-3G-4G-stuff confuses the hell out of me
