          how can they sell if everything (almost) of their products are out of stock? I have been looking all over the city for arc s but no stocks available even from their head office.. my next choice, xperia ray, out of stocks also.. I am so tired looking/searching.. If I can't find one by mid-April, I will be getting a samsung or lg.. no other choice.. :(
          though I really wanted Sony products, great quality but so sad that all their displays at Sony/SE stores are all dummies, only dummies.. no stock!

              PeteB, 09 Apr 2012Soon there won't be anybody left for Samsung to copy... The... moreGalaxy Note. Is that a copy? It is the phone/tablet that everybody wishes they thought of first. It is the ultimate portable business tool, and of course, I own one. Its this one phone/tablet, that might mean the end for Blackberry.....as their strength has always been in serving the business sector. As for Apple's patent wars....it can't touch the Note, as the Note is the first of its size, with a stylus, and the stylus itself can't be copied, as its innovative in its pressure-sensitivity.

                        Apple is overprices, the samsung S2 was about right in all fairness, and is now cheap due to companys selling them off as they are near end of life. Sony have always done me right, i have a xperia range phone, not the new sony but a SE its great, best phone yet and ive had a iphone. the playstation suite on android will help but may be a while away.

                        back to the price the Xperia S is £25ish a month contract and is better than a £40ish iphone hardware wise.

                          Good equipments but always have hidden cost (ie: extra payment needed for softwares like Polaris Office) & propriety parts which puts me off...

                                    Why the hate for Sony? PS3, PS Vita, Phones and TV's are all great and high quality products.
