    Sometimes I just don't understand some people & their complaints. When SE made phones such as XPERIA X8 with ANDROID 1.6 later updated to 2.1 people complained they wanted android 2.2 which can save apps to memory card. Now SONY makes a phone (not a high end phone) such as XPERIA GO wth 4gb internal memory, expandable to 32gb wth microsd card, people are still complaining. Forgetting the fact that most apps can be saved on memory card. If SONY made d GO wth 64gb internal and puts a heavy price tag on it folks will complain. Now they are trying to make affordable android phones, phones for all, so stop complaining about 4gb on the GO; or 16gb on the ACRO S. They have microsd slots. & 4 your information, ICS is still not a very stable OS (be it 4.03 or 4.04).

            For me... I still like my xperia Active. The style/design and colors is great! The memory is expandable! It has a rubberized wrist strap for security purposes during running, walking etc..

              Anonymous, 30 May 2012Thanks for the reply, what i know is ICS has released sever... moreMaybe the manufacturer who implements their deep UI intergration made the OS unstable? Like the Note with ICS. Many reports said that it eats almost all the RAM. While on my Neo V, the bug's not much except for in-game touch become quite irresponsive. But still it happens only on a few games. Minecraft PE works flawlessly :)

                  Anonymous, 30 May 2012Gingerbread, they are kiding or what? sad and funnyThey ship it Gingerbread coz there might be some users who prefers GB over ICS. No manufacturer provide a GB firmware if the phone is shipped with ICS, right? Sony is giving their customers choices :)

                            I did not like Xperia S form-factor thou im a huge ex-SE fanboy. Now all released phones after Xperia S have identical look. Kamoon Sony. My next phone will be Nokia if things going to be like this.
