Share with us, will you dare to buy sony ericsson phone again?
My opinion - NO, NEVER AGAIN.
All this stuff with the locked bootlader, the huge efforts needed to flash custom rom, and there are again things that doesn't work.
Another thing - the lack of Dual Touch...

to be fair, I realy love my Xperia (is my first android phone) and I am satisfied about the performace of this phone, taking into account the price of this smartphone, but it realy suck's that other devices like htc or samsung have the similar or worse hardwer than our xperia and these phone's have latest update of Android softver!
Big thank's to developer's here at XDA, for their efforts to make our phone a better and faster phone, if XDA not exist, I would have sold my phone and buy me another cheaper htc or samsung with the latest update!
I'm pretty sure that my next smartphone will be Xperia Arc or Xperia Play!

When Xperia mini will be available in Hungary, i will buy one. Just compare with other phones in the category: mini is the best buy

Even with the new phones, will SE ever keep updating OS for them? Or just release them to 2.3 and never update to 2.4+ ? Like us, who were abandoned with 2.1?
I agree to the point that newer phones have better hardware spec. But look, compared to other manufacturers, there's nothing impressive from SE. Xperia Arc? SE's best phone? It sucks with Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon 1GHz, in comparison with Dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 in Galaxy S II.
What I am most disappointed from SE is they MAKE and they FORGET. Us? They MAKE us BELIEVE them.
Sony Ericsson: make.forget.
X8 will be my last SE phone.
My phone will be iPhone 3G or dual core based on tegra 2 android device THAT ISN'T MADE BY SE!

I love my SE...but, for the same money, i can have LG OO (OS is supporting is incredible). For the first time, when i saw the Xperia Arc i say: This is my future phone, but i be afraid of the OS supporting. Now for me. I will buy in future other Android device (probably something from Acer or (I never believed that I say) HTC), or Nokia with WP7.
Sorry for my bad english.
Well, X8 has a very nice hardware comparing it to the price, but lack of support is just killing. I know they want us to buy new mini series next year, but I'm not going to give in. Next time it will be some nice HTC or Samsung - I'm thinking about Galaxy Pro. Or something like Wildfire S, but with better display resolution. We'll see next year

It's mini!
Actually, I changed my mind about SE phones...
My next droid will be LG, because they have lousy devs and cracking/unlocking bootloader is easy. I think best support talking custom **** is on LG's side.
If you want better (custom) - buy LG phone.
True, true..
Im really doubtful if i will buy a SE again. One plus side with SE is that they have opened the bootloader for the newer phones.
Maybe I'm a fan of SE but my phone is X10 mini pro were abandoned ( no upgrade to 2.2 or 2.3). I can change branch in future.
@ doixanh :

Both ARC and Galaxy SII are latest phones from both company. That's fair to compare them

re: buying x10
hey there
I have been using x10 mini pro since 18 months nd nkw I want to upgrade. x10 is the only phone in my range with 4 inch screen. how is dev support? battery life.can I use this phone for 2 yrs? thank you!
Hey, are you serious about buying a x10? There are better (Sony) phones out there for the same price, I'm sure!
You'll get the Xperia U or the miro(when it comes out) for more or less the same price, and both are wayy better. Not to mention the HTC One V, and the Samsung Galaxy S II(for a higher price), and the Samsung Galaxy S Advance. These phones are newer than the x10, and hence get better support from their respective companies.
And you shouldn't choose based on screen size alone, the processor and the RAM are most important when you choose a phone. Also the year of release of that phone, that determines how much longer the phone is going to be supported by the manufacturer. At two and a quarter years of age, the x10 is one of the oldest android phones there is...Sony stopped its updates for the x10 with Android 2.3.3 whereas the current Android OS version is 4.1.1
If you do want a 4" screen, these are good options:
Sony Xperia P
Samsung Galaxy S Advance
Google Nexus S(which is quite old, but it's a Nexus phone, hence the most support)
Meizu MX-4 Core
LG Optimus 2X(although LG has stopped support for this, it's still a good phone, a better one than the x10)
HTC Desire V
Samsung Galaxy S Duos(when it comes out)
Hope that helped
ya. I know its too old but ccan u suggest some 3.7 inch + screens in 270$ or less.

Dev support too is decreasing for the x10. Many developers like Feravolt, doomlord, and now FXP have stopped their support for the x10..FXP will not be developing CM10 for the x10, and the others have already left.
As for you, you could buy the Xperia pro..costs about the same(13k rs) but has more ram and a better processor. The Xperia neo works too
awww. I didn't know fxp nd doomlord stopped the support. then I've to rethink. thank u so much!!
Here is the list of phones that can exept 4.1
Will get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean:
Xperia T
Xperia TX
Xperia V
Xperia S
Xperia acro S
Xperia ion
Xperia P
Xperia go
Xperia J
**Xperia T, TX og V gets update to 4.1 in middle of first quarter of 2013

And you miss the most important thing...
We were glad to provide the Android 4.0.4 upgrade for our 2011 Xperia portfolio across most markets and the majority of models but, after thorough evaluation, we have concluded they will not be upgraded beyond Ice Cream Sandwich.
Beyond Ice Cream Sandwich we would not able to guarantee owners of these smartphones the user experience you expect and we demand. We will however, continue to support all these products with firmware maintenance releases.

Seriously, my phone runs much smoother in JB than on ICS... Thnk you SONY -.-
Seriously Sony's multimillionaire software department can't make a good JB firm for Neo/Arc/S and can do it for Xperia J?
Disappointing but expected news. I'm personally not surprised. It's most likely for marketing. And anyways it's been almost 2 years already since their release. I guess Sony wants everyone to buy their current and future lineup of Xperias.
We should also be thankful that Sony upgraded our phones to ICS. LG isn't even upgrading their 2011 phones as far as I know.
Sony Mobile isn't as big as Samsung or HTC. Cut them some slack.

They are not your slaves. Give them time to work, you are not the only customers out there. Besides, your phone is not the only one there.
But atleast they should have update arc s to jb isnt 1.4 ghz enough for jb wtf they was saying that they are checking the devices etc.
Fully crap i just bought arc s its still in market and here i am with no jb update
I should have bought s2 instead
I wont buy sony now in future

I only don't understand why they don't upgrade the arc s... But I think this is the biggest problem with android. Look to samsung, the sgs plus was released almost the same time as the arc s, has similar parts and price and didn't even got ics...
I think the problem is that Sony is lazy to do the JB upgrade. JB requires same requirements as ics the only down side is the 512 mb memory but other phone with the same phone power will still deliver the JB hope they can get back in there word qnd deliver JB to us.

No excuses for Sony really they could provide codes so developers can port JB into older devices unless we launch a huge outrage just like the X10 fiasco.

Best way is ..more of us ...to don't buy any sony phone ,because they take this fkkk solution ....not to give us ..the owner of 1.4 GHz ..sony device ..a taste of JB...., that's shame ...
I will sell my device and bye a decent phone....( to have 1GB RAM , front facing camera , enough internal storage .., not like this ..420 MB...., and also a decent battery .) , because I don't want to spend all my money to bye a new phone ..every 5 months ...
This is why I'm getting a Samsung phone next year. Samsung's flagship model from 2011 got JellyBean. and what is more pathetic, JB is incomparably smoother and faster than ICS.
time to change brand!
Well, the last few weeks I've been confused whether my next device will be a Nexus, a Lumia or an Xperia,
now I just need to choose between the first two
(Not that Lumia will surely provide better support, I want to know how good/bad is WP8 through experience, I'll keep the arc S though, still the sexiest phone I've ever had)
My sources tell me that the Usa version of Xperia z will carry the new snapdragon 600 series !! That's why it didn't come out Jan or Feb and there releasing it Q2 and it makes total sense cause if it didnt have the new and improved 600 series snapdragon they should of released it q1 to not have any losses during all of quarter one but it makes sense why there there waiting for Q2.. whoopie ....

While I don't necessarily believe this so called "leak" I do believe that if we're to wait until Q2 for this phone, it should be updated with the latest chipset. Consumers don't want to feel like they are buying a new device with "old" tech inside, even if the performance is still great and it is not that old. I WANT Sony to sell their ZL here in Canada with the new 600 series, considering the new chips are available.

Exactly if they wanted to make sales and have ZERO losses at all period it would of released already globally but it didnt cause they want to make sure the usa version has the new An improved 600 series that's why its not out yet also hasn't given out any details regarding it there waiting FOR 21 to announce everything ...at that big show and they will use the new 600 series as the marketING scheme to get people to buy it.. I mean lets be total seriously here if its not gone have 600 series it would be released already GLOBALLY !!!!! It would have been the smartest choice to realease the best phone in Q1 before other great phones come OUT they would have had an entire quarter all to themselves for people to buy there phone but they can't so there waiting til Q2 when they have enough supplies of the 600 series to realease the phone with.

Well then, sounds like one of the carriers might be picking one of the devices up after all (of course, after applying the usual branding). Good for Sony, didn't expect AT&T to pick up any Xperia's this period.
Might be something else but I can't really think of anything. Sony doesn't like making a lot of hardware adjustments (especially not internals) so that pretty much rules out a Snapdragon 600 for H1.

Think it's pretty crappy that the Z1 and Z1 compact are not included. Great expected life cycle for their products. Most new handsets in UK are on a 2 year contract. Shame they can't provide updates for at least that long before expecting you to get a shiny new phone (with another 2 year contract).

That would be really a shame, the z1c isn't "old" and there are no hardware limitations for getting an update. z1c was released in Europe January/February 2014.
I was opitimistic until today that my device would get the Marshmallow update. I'm curious if they will at least deliver security fixes for 5.1.1.
When you say that you will now switch to another brand - well, please tell me, who sells a smartphone < 4,7 " with high end hardware and better support?
Good question grisu59964. Hopefully by the time my contract is up in May 2016 something new and shiny will catch my eye.
I've had Sony phones since they bought into Ericsson and to be honest they're not always great. Loved the 1st Walkman phone. (still have it in a drawer) But the Xperia U stands out as a particularly bad example. It couldn't even run Sonys own update to ICS.
Still, even with its faults like not locking the screen while its against my ear during a call, or the mysterious battery drains, random restarts, music player volume and the previous shoddy updates I do kind of like my Z1C.
I guess it's nearly time to root and add a nice custom 6.0 rom.
Lets post that we need it

Seems that the Z1 will be included in the second batch, so hopefully that means that the Z1C will be included as well.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Comp...ow-leaks-includes-Samsung-Sony-and-LG_id74400
Thats sad. I still hope 6.0 will come to z1 even if its not in the list. Like some said, there is no sence on leaving the z1 behind with a Snap 800. I would like very much to see the efficiency of the battery saving that has been developed in 6.0.
yes, it is sad, but I hope there will be CyanogenMod 13 very soon

This link said Z1/Z1c actually will be in second batch but guess that will be in the middle of 2016.
I've got a S6 and Z1c. In my experiences, Samsung camera focus speed blows Z1c away(picture quality indeed Z1c still doing good though not as nice as S6) but if you need waterproof and microSD then Z1c better and much cheaper. Alpha is a bit expensive, you should compare it with Z3c in this price range.

Quiet simple : xiaomi is the choice i will change to. It's a software engineer, using the phones as a bridge between user and software. They're producing without win merges, the only contra is the online selling and the shipping duration. Regarding price - hardware related stuff it's the best at the moment.

Unfortunately, Xiaomi has only devices starting at 5" display size (size comparison). And who says that Xiaomi will provide software support in two years? Unfortunately, not really an alternative.
For now, I hope that CM 13 will make us forget that we use officially obsolete hardware.
heck. Z1 Compact is exact same specs of Nexus5 and not getting Android 6.x?
Z1C is more than capable. its just that Sony wants us to upgrade to Z5 Compact, so they won't make official marshmallow rom for it.
its the usual term : planned obsolesence.
As the updates are flowing in, i feel we've been followed much closely now, so on second thoughts, I'd go back to symbian and have Linux based laptop, sorted. Why can't we port gingerbread on contemporary handset? An OEM will never be complete and a custom rom would never match OEM's algorithms, catch 22. Look where CM had started and what now it has become same sh*t in different way.
Every company wants control but I have faith in Developers, especially independent. And all this "security" thing is overrated, what are trying to hide anyway? rather from whom? I mean, as a consumer.

I get the original Z that has S4 pro processor ... but Z1 has SD800 and Z2 SD801 witch is same just bumped up frequencies ...
Meh ..
Side question, If I Bootloader unlock my Z1c, i know i lose the DRM keys, but what exactly i lose in functionality ? lower camera performance like on Z3c?
It would be shame if Sony would just drop Z1c. Leaving it with Stragefright 2.0... The phone should get the update.
I won't change this phone for at least another 1 1/2 years, so marschmallow would be great to stay with...
