    The Vaio label is like a mark of an executive or businessman.

    Perhaps they could have tried to do something unique in the mobile space.. like a model with a hardware keyboard, perhaps.

    I'm just not sure whether this phone will be able to make an impact.

            If this has been priced correctly by its midrange specs and you put an Xperia launcher in it, it'll feel like sony again but too bad, the price is very high, what's that japanese company who buys Vaio thinking?? They should look at the specs again and notice this is not iOS but android.

              The phone's price is very bad.... maybe comparable to Samsung's horrible price-to-performance ratio...

                      The specs are midrange but the price is so high. Another smartphone that will not make it to the top. How sad i was excited at first but its a disappointment.

                            But hope onscreen keyboard will be out. Its so ugly. screen waste. Look at iphone samsun.. Having home button or capacitive and hardware button is more practical.

                              Yesterday upon reading the news of Vaio's entry into the smartphone market, I felt happy, but today upon reading the news of the expected launching price of $420 I felt dismayed. For what Viao's entry is offering, personally I cannot justify the cost. Though not wanting to be negative in any way, truth is there are ample offerings from the competition that give more for less money. Anyway, this is wishing Vaio all the best.

                                        Reminds me a little of the Nexus 4 design, just missing the funky rear reflective matrix tiles on the rear.
