Hi ,
I have purchased this phone on October 5 from Flipkart.
The first phone i got was defected and the touch was not working properly.
I got a replacement from flipkart within 5 days- so had to wait quite a few days to get a hold of the phone.

But it is worth the wait.
The touch is smooth, considerably quick, awesome speakers, smooth body, good looks.
Contains almost all the features of a high end smartphone.

Cons:

I bought this phone in oct 2012 from flipkart for 9500/- I have been using it since with no issues whatsoever. It packs lot of punch in small size. I wont go to technical specs as those can be seen on internet anywhere. I will share my experience.
It is a nice phone with v bright display. One can browse internet on 3 G with no issues and can play games like Temple run with ease. The sound quality is supreme much like any other Sony phone. Its easy to carry in jeans pocket as its small phone.

If you want android bellow 10K then this is your phone. It is actually a very decent phone. Where it currently beats the market is that it comes with Android 4.0 unlike Samsung and HTC. The positives are many: battery life, smooth web surfing, call quality, v4.0. But this phone does have drawbacks. First is the camera which is just rubbish... you wont need instagram for funny results... the camera takes weird pictures. The phone tends to slow down when running games like Temple Run...

Pre-ordered this one on the 14th. The estimated date of delivery was about a week from that. But Flipkart surprised me by delivering it in 4 days time!

1. I have gone ahead with Sony after years of being a Nokia loyalist. Maybe coz i didn't want to spend that much on a Lumia. Except for the gorilla glass screen i don't think i'm missing much here.

2. I didn't want a black phone, and this deep red color is very elegant and rich!
I've been hearing good things about it from people who stay ...
