Did anyone actually ever buy the xperia pureness? because i don't know anyone who's actually bought one not seen any sale in the forums either has it been discontinued? I quite liked that phone when first announced so shame it never really took off and i presume the price must have dropped too as it was very expensive at launch.

I don't even think the price has gone down that much, although rumour has it that there is a Pureness 2 being developed.

With it's high price & lack of the features people want these days I doubt it sold well anyway
Phone?? What phone?? |

The xperia pureness was never about the features anyway and i just read that the pureness 2 will have even fewer features

Last week I found one displayed at "Media Markt" (Germany)..
I played with it a bit.. Nothing fancy but the style and the display.
The price was somewhere around 200€ btw.. Can't remember quite exactly..
But that's way lower than the debut price if I remember correctly.. |

No one seems to be selling any here so no idea what they are worth now? |

the idea behind the xperia purness was actually really really good
it only failed in execution
the display was fancy, but you couldn't read it in sunlight - so the phone was hardly usable
the main problem was probably the price tag - with 700euros way beyond realism
i was close buying one, but 700euro were just a killer
i hope for a second generation

From the reviews i read the display was readable in daylight and pics here confirm that and in terms of direct sunlight then many phones fail there.

It's actually a good looking phone but not enough features to gain a lot of attention |

Here are some pictures I took today at Media Markt.. I went there to play with the Arc and the Play a bit..
It's priced at 250€ sim-free.. A drop from 700€ in one year (maybe less) should tell a lot..
Liked the keyboad though.. The screen is very usable/readable, though I could only see that what's visible on the photos since there were to SIM installed to navigate through the phone's UI..

Down to 250€ sim-free is a huge drop in price had no idea it was that cheap now.What country is that in by the way?
