Be honest guys, what is the "give" on this phone? Looks great, impressive specs. Pretty much what I'm looking for in my next phone. In the past though Sony phones seem impressive but there is a "give".
For those interested in buying, O2, 3, Carphone Warehouse and someone else are offering Sony Prestige headphones for free when you pre-order.
Yeah those headphones look great.
From Expansys (where I've ordered mine) and Clove.co.uk you get the NFC Wireless speaker
From Amazon you get just the phone.
Looking at all the reviews and hands on there isn't much of a give. They have done a lovely skin on top of Android Jellybean and their own apps look great. Everyone seems to praise it's skin as being as barebones as one would want but still offering their own take so at least you get decent weather and music widgets etc.. out of the box (unlike stock Android)..
I think the biggest 'give' is the cover for the ports and how durable they will be after many times opening and closing, especially the heaphone jack and the micro usb.
I've decided to bypass the headphone jack one, despite getting excellent headphones in the box by purchasing the SGH20 headphone earbud set.
The only other give I guess is if 5" is too big for you.... I won't know until I use it daily.
