1 June 2012
Sealed in an aluminum unibody but still oozing the new NXT series style, the Sony Xperia P joins an elite club of metal-clad phones. And then there's the WhiteMagic screen to make it unique in the mobile world. In short, the Xperia P is one of...

    Anup, 24 Jun 2012Hi - Will there be updated reivew once ICS is released for ... morePhone just came out for Verizon a few days ago (May 26th) for $199 w/ contract. I saw the dummy phone in Best Buy and it is falriy comfortable to hold. Moreso than the PSPgo. You can get it from Amazon for $99. I basically want it for emus, but will wait for its successor. I refuse to play NBA Jam and Mike Tyson Main Event on my iPhone 4 without real controls. Xperia Play controls is the only answer!

                  This looked very nice from the pictures, but man is it another huge clunker! 10 years ago we laughed at people who carried around their huge "phone booths". Today, it seems everyone wants their phone to be as huge as possible. Good luck finding a useable model with less than a 4" screen. What good is a phone I can't fit in my pocket? Not to mention that these huge-ass displays and ridiculously useless processors drain energy like hell, and you're lucky if it lasts a day at work. I won't settle for less than a week's normal use out of one battery charge. It's time manufacturers get their act together and start making phones that do what they're supposed to again.

                          Hi - Will there be updated reivew once ICS is released for the device? I think it has been released now.

                          I'm struggling to decide between HTC One S and this one. I have a Nokia C7, and I haven't used the NFC for a long time so thats not so important.

                          I saw the Galaxy S 3 - pretty amazing.

                                      I really do question while they printed distorted, inaccurate and misleading information and have since made no effort to rectify it.

                                      Lets hope we get an update to this review with more professional test methods and analysis of the display.

                                      The current review is not very helpful for me as the flaws in it are blatant and the analysis very poor. How can you conclude that a phone turned to a level of being 50% brighter than another phone shows poorer blacks. It's like saying that a red car has worse braking than a blue car from a test done while driving the red car 50% faster.
