Do we know anything else about the metal frame, is it's real metal or just chromed plastic?

It's chromed plastic and I'm afraid with a time chrome will fade away which will make the phone look horrible. On the other hand, people say it's very well built, so hopefully my fears won't come true. Anyway, IMHO that chromed plastic is bigger issue than commonly mentioned favorites - lack of camera button and VGA front facing camera.
All in all, I'm eagerly waiting for this phone's release. |

All I can think of why they put VGA camera on front is may be it does not consume a lot of 3G or Internet data. May be!

Makes sense, but V comes with LTE. With this kind of speeds even Full HD front facing camera shouldn't be an issue. The best solution would be let the user to select what kind of resolution you want to use. I don't think they saving much on a sensor (VGA vs. 720p/1080p). |

Exactly, That's what I thought. I'm sure Sony must have thought too still don't know what's the reason behind VGA. Almost all their phones have 1mp+ front facing camera then why would V have VGA? it's a question to ask Sony cause I'm sure they must be having some valid answer to it.

Yeah, there is, they don't want to make one ultimate phone. So they chop some features, and introduce them in other phone, so You will always have the desire and an argument to buy another phone. If they would give You everything, why should You bother upgrading/changing? It's a theory, in practice it failed because other companies are not so ashamed of making ultimate phones |

Can anybody confirm, is the back cover of Xperia V is like Xperia Go? It's rough from behind. Not at all that great feeling to hold since its rough

Yes now I can. Thanks.
It looks the same as Xperia Go, as on the back cover.

They should have made the frame out of metal instead of chrome plastic, like xperia ray. That would have been awesome |

It's nice that it is waterproof and all but I listen to a lot of music and I'm worried the hatch will be in the way all the time. I haven't owned a Nokia since the 3310 but maybe it's time once again, the 920 looks promising although I'm not happy with changing ecosystem . I also believe that, though its nice with a big screen sometimes, a 4,2 inch screen is optimal, at least for my hands. Xperia V are in all a promising package, I'll have to wait and see ..
