It was a short love. Noticed yesterday that the lower right corner of the screen was slightly recessed and when pushed it flexed a bit and made the colors of the screen shift at that part.

Nevertheless, I exchanged it today for another one. Haven't opened it yet and I have to wait until later today. Hope this one is better.

Have you applied the provided screen protector on your device or do you use it naked (just with the shatter proof sheet) ?



That sucks, but I know the feeling. My ray conked out on me twice... thankfully the second time was still under warranty. First time, the IC controller burned out. Second time, the Bluetooth and Wifi module on the MB died. It's in the shop now.

The Sony store applied the screen protector for me...although I think it's redundant to the shatterproof sheet already pre-applied by Sony... but hey, no harm right?

The battery is quite small for heavy users, but average users will benefit a lot from the White Magic display as well as the Extended Battery Mode. For those that use Wifi more than 3G data... the phone will last quite a bit.

I've got the latest ICS on mine but things like the dialer are slow and the Xperia live wallpaper is really slow. Really wish there was a fix for this, I don't want to go for custom ROMS yet because I really like the Xperia UI. My P is doing well nevertheless and I'm glad I got a silver one because its hard to see the scratches because the aluminium shell is silver unlike other Apple products, hope I don't get sued me for typing 'Apple'.

The shatter proof sheet is not scratch resistant. The mineral glass in under is. The sheet is however replaceable (although it can be tough to get off), so I'm not sure if the protector they provide is supposed to be a replacement for the shatter proof sheet or is supposed to be applied above.

On my mini I had the screen protector applied on the display, but it looks a bit ugly since I failed to apply it on the first try. Beside little dust under the screen protector, after 2.5 years I haven't noticed any scratches (I carry it in a pouch on my belt). Therefore I'm not sure whether to put it on or not on my XP (it is a bit tedious to do it).

Ah, if data is off, battery life is quite excellent.

Best I got on my ray w/ data enabled was 12 hours. On the P w/ the same use, I got almost 24 hours.

Extremely heavy use on the P on wifi only, I get 15 hours.

MKV (1080p 5.1 encoded) movies really kill the phone at a max of 4.5 hours constant playback.

For the screen protectors I have a comment
Since Xperia X10 I remove that factory installed protector within weeks because it gets scratched and looks bad on sunlight.
And the screen under it never gets scratched. I have removed on my xRay as well and I'm going to remove it on my next Xperia

If you don't carry your phone with your keys on the same pocket(even than it doesn't get scratched easily) you don't need that.

@OfflineR thanks for the tips!

Oh, and since I had my X10 Mini Pro, I've always liked the idea of the corner shortcuts found on the Mini/Mini Pro series. I've been looking for a similar launcher for my ray and XP... finally found one.

It's called Arc Launcher. There's a free version and a paid (there's also a Lite version but I can't tell the diff from the Free one.)

Not an exact match to Sony's corner UI but close enough.

@jplacson
Which colour did you buy and why

BTW, I keep comparing these three: http://www.esato.com/phones/c[....]e.php?phone=942&cp=917&cp2=816 and still couldn't decide to whether update, wait or not update at all )

I shall refer you to my blog entry regarding my choice... hehehe

Nothing beats the ray for size and portability. What apps do you use, not just have, but actually use? Do you need data/3G on 24/7?

I have read your blog mate and I remember now why yo did choose silver one
I have checked P and Go today.

* Go has an awesome form factor but camera and sceen resoluiton are too low for my taste.
* P is bulky and Ray and Go looks much more stylish than P.
* From front silver P looks somehow odd. I wish bottom part was black as well.

I use all messaging programs(facebook, whatsapp, Sms) frequently. I surf on the web regularly.
So I need data 7/24.

I have used X10 before as I indicated. So it was difficult to get used to Ray's small screen but now I love it

I might consider buying black Xperia P or wait for the V, but probably V is going to too pricey compared to P.

The P is less bulky than the X10.

It is bulkier than the ray, as are almost all the other phone on the market.

The Xperia U is another option if you're considering the Go. But they are more entry-level models.

The Xperia P is currently the smallest mid-or-higher level smartphone on the market.

I need a last opinion about the colour.
What do you think of the black one?
I have used P900, P1i, White X10, Gold Ray so far.
Should I buy a black one or should I buy the silver one and replace the bottom part with black )

Well, I'm fond of silver/black combo so the decision was easy.

So you know where I stand there. Hehehehe
