Ooh yeah tempting I really love Sony UI and design etc plus quality. And yes it is smooth and was shocked to see how fast web pages load. Even Face Book is normally laggy on Android but not on this. Not even with live wallpaper. Only lag I notice is when first booted up. Call quality battery life signal all great. Sony done well with budget range but I wouldn't bother with the Tipo. Sony have somehow really optimised this cheap phone with ICS and made it perform well. Camera good too except video recording. Music too is great.

Yes I thought so too. Amazing what a bit of sunshine can do. Clicking on them full size shows full sharpness. Suprisingly, AnTuTu benchmarks scored 2,368 Go Sony on budget phone!!!!!!!!!! Only time it lagged is first boot up or reboot which happens for 30 seconds on many Android phones

About the same quality I'd say. Maybe same camera in both?? But yes their 5 meg cameras seem to do a decent job. The Xperia Go has similar quality too so I read. These shots are Birmingham city centre part of it anyway

Review here but Phone Arena talk out their backsides. They say the browser is laggy but it is no way laggy at all. It's fast loading & smooth to scroll pinch & zoom

Yes all they ever do is compare everything else to iPhone and moan about viewing angles. I can honestly say the browser is fine and speedy.

No never played that game even before. Am not a gaming person and not good at them either but will have a go and report. I have heard it's a tester game for all phones. Only thing I hate it soft keys don't light up Sony how much does a couple of led lights cost?? Not much
