                I like the Sola's design and features, but the battery seems too puny for a dual core phone. The pricing's a bit skewed- one can easily get an HTC Sensation for what you pay for the Sola.

                I won't be buying another Sony phone. All my previous SE phones acted up in one way or another in the hardware department. My recently acquired W8 has a wonky usb port. Sony really needs to work on its QC if they are interested in retaining their customers.

                The little goodwill and promise of quality of the Sony brand is disappearing fast. Samsung and HTC phones seem to be more reliable than Sony's dodgy ones.

                      Hmm the Sola can't be the floor, at least say the Xperia U, baby of the NXT line....

                        Similar to the Xperia Play, this seems to be another phone with an unusual feature. This floating screen is a welcome advance, but let's hope the device itself receives good overall support and apps that can actually take the most advantage of this technology.
                        Off topic, it always feels nice to say first.
